Issue 19: As the workload starts to slow, your court decides to hold a feast with your allies in the Imperial City. For once it seems all is calm, until the chefs start arguing over what to cook.

-Your head chef seems quite insistent on ethnic foods, "We should give these people a taste of what Kaldonis has to offer, so it only makes sense for us to be cooking our own native dishes. I know the foods popular here may be seen as... Unappetizing to the rest of the world, but their coming into our country, so that doesn't matter much, does it?"

-An assistant in the kitchens brings up who they're feeding, "These people coming here are guests in our country, and should be treated as such. They needn't be subjected to our own insufferable diets, we should be treating them to the foods that better suit their palates. If you want to have our guests enjoy themselves in what to them seems like an alien country, you need to give them a little piece of their own culture to hold onto."

-A begger peeking in the window scowls at everyone in the room, "Look at these decedent fools, deciding what to eat when the rest of us are just getting by! Why, if I had my way, they would be eating like us, a piece of bread and well water, that's it! And if they complained, I'd send them on their merry way, back to their strange lands, it'd just mean more food for us!"

-Your economist is shaking his head through the whole ordeal, "I don't know what you people don't understand about a budget! We simple cannot afford a fancy dinner party at the level we're proposing. We should cancel the invitations, I'm sure the other countries won't like it, but it's either that or suffer more debt."
