Dog Days Ale 2009 - Menus

Menus (With Ingredients)

The menus for the weekend will consist of mostly vegetarian dishes (largely ovo-lacto, not vegan; we will have luncheon meats for sandwiches and a few of the pizzas on Friday night may have meat). We have tried to anticipate food allergies and restrictions in menu planning. We are buying some commercially prepared items -- i.e., breads, muffins, chips, dressings, salsas, dips, etc. -- that may contain ingredients we are uncertain of. Check with the various food czars if you have serious allergies. Don't assume that all items on the menu are safe for you. If these menus do not address your specific food need, let us know and we'll make an effort to accommodate you. Be sure that your team's squire reports your food restrictions to the Invitation Czar, Julia Wittner.
