I know I initiated the complaint here, which I think is just not a solvable
one. But especially in Europe, it's hard enough to get vegan meals. (See
Matt's Brno example.) A brief googling for the others gave me a link titled
"The only restaurant in Poland with a gluten free menu." I don't know if
we
should offer options we can't provide.
So don't offer the option. Just have something like:
"Due to differing availability of various dietary options among
geographical regions, the Flock staff cannot offer a variety of
dietary choices. The evening events will use the menus available at
the venues. Those with other dietary needs may need to look for
alternative dining establishments."
We could try and scout some out and offer suggestions, but if the
region truly does not offer these options then I do not see the point
in letting people specify them.
