We've had innumerable discussions on allergies and whether to try to  
accomadate people, the problems with doing so, the logistics problems  
involved etc. However, I think general consensus was to post an  
ingredient list, do not deviate from it, and leave it to the  
individuals to pick and choose what they can and can not eat. Of  
course it is also best not to use one ingredient in all of your  
dishes, whether it was on sale or not.

<<< Vegetarian/Vegan - I always have at least one, usually more than one
vegetarian dish available.  As for Vegan - I try but I cannot always
promise.  I will often use vegetable broth instead of chicken if the  
rest of
the dish is all vegetables. >>>
