Not true.  Feasters can check in advance with the cook.  If you contact 
me before an event where I'm cooking and tell me that you're allergic to 
X, I will either ensure that you will be able to have a good meal 
without any X, or I will tell you I will be unable to cater for you.  
This is _much_ easier for me to manage, and, in nearly all cases, I _am_ 
able to cater for people with allergies, medical restrictions, etc.

And I still want to be able to make use use what's available on the day 
at least some of the time.
