And I would appreciate if you would stop implying that a specific 
detailed food option is or was implied by Henning's suggestion. Can we 
discuss the question: "Can we have lunch during the plenary?" instead, 
please?

As for making better use of meeting time, yes, I agree with you and
that is why I bounced the question to the wider audience beyond the
attendee list. And I also agree that having lunch during the plenary
may not be the best option, but I think it at least merits some 
discussion. We do, after all, regularly host similar events with the
lunchtime host speakers etc.

Just for the record: The hotel-prepared sandwiches here in Prague have 
been quite excellent, but that really is neither here nor there.
