I agree it must be ego or something to keep them from wanting to adda
list of ingredients. One defense was "I cook on a whim... I add things
at the last min". Having cooked almost my whole life and being quite a
good cook I might add... when I do a recipe.. I may add more of a
particular spice that is already. If it was a recipe from a source...
and you did a redaction then why would you at the last min add a
spice/ingredient that wasnt listed? The moment of feast is not the time
to be experimenting.... as for menu if its not done at min 1 month in
advance being an autocrat I fire the feast o crat

Here in the West, it is quite common for the menu distributed at the
feast
to have a *complete* list of ingredients for each dish. And, when asked
(read begged), the cooks always post their recipe sources and recipies.
I
cannot understand why one would NOT want to make it possible for
everyone to
safely enjoy what they eat at a feast. Nor why one would not want to
share
the recipies. People are allergic to all sorts of things and these
ingredients can appear in unexpected dishes. AND that is just in modern
restaurants. Please be kind to your feasting public and share this most
important information. Perhaps for large feasts, adding new ingredients
as
you taste isn't appropriate.
Just my two cents. Even though I can eat everything with no problems, I
have many friends with allergies and all they ask is to know which
dishes
they should avoid. Oh, and noone ever asks for special treatment at a
feast, though most cooks will provide some special veggie dishes if the
feast is heavy on meats.
