Fenugreek is simply another food, and one that is common in some diets
of the world.  Unless these neos automatically enquire about and attempt
to 'forbid' dietary seeds and legumes, I can't see any logic behind this
at all. I guess they just routinely exoticise and suspect foods they're
not culturally familiar with? Do they bar their Egyptian clients from
drinking tea? Their Indian clients from eating curry? Their American
clients from imitation maple syrup?
