Thread Name: Suggestions for music camps
Subject: RE: Suggestions for music camps
I insist that people with special food needs bring their own food and take the risk of there being peanut residue on almost anything. We can not run an allergy-free kitchen, and if there are laws then that will shut us down, so be it. I have to bring some of my own food to camps because i just need more protein than they provide...and if I had a serious allergy I would either not attend if it was life-threatening, or I would bring my own food and be sure of no contamination (and you can never be sure there is not a bit on pots and pans, ocunters, etc..if you are that allergic, we can not ensure your safety period). I always have beans and rice and raw food on hand that they can use, but with no guarantees. I know one woman has a garlic allergy and wants us to make sure there is no garlic in anything. If you want to make sure there is no garlic in anything, bring and prepare your own food. You can bring a small appliance as well, such as a hot plate,if the kitchen will be locked.
