<DIV>Has anyone deliberately prepared a bland feast but provided an extensive 'condiment/seasoning bar' so that people can salt, pepper & spice their dishes to their own preferences? </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I know it isn't period, but it seems that the proportion of fussy eaters (not that that's necessarily a bad thing, mind you) has grown to the point where 'lowest common denominator' seasoning may be in order. Allergies, diabetes, high blood pressure, religious choices, vegans/vegetarians, etc.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Personally, I often bring an 'emergency' hot sauce bottle and a cubeb grinder to feasts. :)</DIV>
