Here in Atlantia we have been graced with certain Crowns that are very picky eaters.  One King loves hot dogs and Ho-Ho's.  He has been given the special honor of getting the "the mother of all Ho-Ho's" (a giant rolled cake with 'nipples' of Hershey kisses and regular Ho-Ho's suckling), as well as the "king of all Ho-Ho's" (again the giant rolled cake with Bugles for pointy shoes, fruit leather for belt and assorted items for facial features).  He loved them.  Another King loves hamburgers and at his Coronation that I was head cook for he was served a giant perfectly cooked hamburger at feast.  We love picky eaters and will take full advantage of accentuating the oddity.
