[Sca-cooks] ingredient lists

[Elaine Koogler]

I agree wholeheartedly.  We've not seen any such requests here, but it's
probably not long in coming.  I hate to be a spoil sport here but my feeling
is that if you are THAT sensitive to gluten, then perhaps you shouldn't eat
the feast.  I try to be careful in my kitchens, but I am not a
professional...and neither I nor my Barony have enough utensils to make sure
that I can identify any utensils or containers that have touched "X".
