Rabbits are dumb! 2247patches~ It wouldn't??? What are willing to do to please a guest who is that finicky? We had a Christmas pudding, mince meat tarts, brownies, short breads, fruit cake, plus a variety of cookies...
Ok seriously Dave, this still wouldn't fizz me. I always have good food on hand so it really is not a big deal. If it is fresh fruit and the said guest has no allergies, he can choose not to partake much the same I do. Most of our dinners don't include dessert other than fruit and I'm sure if so desired he could find something he liked. I certainly would not ask someone to bring something they like but that's just me and in no way is meant to be judgemental as you know these people whereas I don't so it is your call. I'm just saying that in my home I will go out of the way. I know what is is like so it really doesn't bother me and there is always something to eat here. You know, you do bring up a valid point! How far is a host expected to go for a guest? Now this has not been a problem yet but hey why not discuss this topic?
I will make non-alcoholic clones *if* I'm serving something alcoholic. I will make lactose free milk available. I've even left off tomatoes in wraps for those who don't like wraps. One way to deal with the issue is to have all the fixings and let them buttemble their own. For casual get togethers this works really well. The other way to deal with it for more formal get together is to either make two dishes of each or make none of the offending dishes buttuming you know the dietary restrictions in advance, not always possible.
