Nope.  I only make plain dishes with condiments where it was a eriod 
practice (ie plain roast meats with sauces, etc.)

Je refuse! (I absolutely refuse to cater for people with the eating 
habits of an indulged four-year-old.)
Nobody's real eating issues (ie allergies or other factors that mean 
they _can't_ eat some foods) have ever really stopped me seasoning 
anything the way I want to, with only one or two very slight exceptions.
