garlic dishes on the menu. >>>

Maybe a cooking contest. But not for a feast. Even if the onion- 
allergic people were warned ahead of time.

I think Kiri sums it up well with:
<<<And I'll never forget a feast served here in Atlantia...I worked in  
the
kitchen that day, so it lives forever in my memory...every single dish  
had
onions in it...and every single dish was brown, brown and yellow or  
yellow.
Heaven help you if you didn't like onions or were allergic to them. >>>

<<< It'd be like medieval "Iron Chef." I'm sure someone has done this,  
right? "Here's 20 pounds of onions, go to it!"

Maybe. At least there the judges are volunteers. Still I think I'd  
want to be on the first team judged and not the fifth or sixth or...

<<< (who loves onions, but finds they don't love her back) >>>

On the other hand, it is difficult to have too much garlic...:-)
