Depends on the fat used as well - I'd figure, from what we
now know, that Lilli will be allergic to castile (which is
usually made from olive oil)

Happens. One can make soap out of just about any kind of
fat, and what if you're allergic to beef (say).

True - and the reason that tick bite makes one allergic to
beef is that its allergen is similar to a component in meat.

Mary had a little lamb,
a little toast,
a little jam,
a little pizza
and some cake,
some French fries
and a chocolate shake,
a little burger
on a bun.
And that's why Mary
weighs a ton.

Mary had a little lamb,
A little pork, a little jam,
A little egg on toast, a little potted roast,
A little stew with dumplings white,
A little shad, for Mary had
A little appetite.

Speaking of "all of the above," here's an Armenian
recipe that points up the fact that the most bitter
enemies have the most in common. As you know the
Turks and the Armenians hate each other, but this
recipe's name in Armenian is almost identical in
Turkish. It mean's "lady's thigh meatballs." It is
one of the most delicious foods I know, especially
when made with a surreptitious dash of thyme powder.
P.S. Some sources include cheese. Do not believe them.
