Rabbits are dumb! 2247

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, including some that his mother had made. There was a variety of fresh fruits. I consider that a pretty good buttortment of desserts.

One would expect. There were more than a dozen people and everyone else was able to find something to their liking.

I know there is no pleasing this guy. I gave up trying a long time ago. He is way too old to expect to expect his finicky appebreaste be pampered, and I am too old to bother.

Host someone like that a couple times a year for 30 years, come to the conclusion that there is no pleasing him and see how much longer you will be willing to indulge that behaviour :-)

For most people there would be enough to eat. Most people are easy to please, or they at least have the manners to make it through a meal without pouting about how no one has catered to them specifically.

I thought so. :-)

I serve beer, wine, mixed drinks, soft drinks, juice. If I am whipping up a batch of marguaritas or something like that, please don't expect me to whip up a non alcoholic version.

I am lactose intolerant. I can't remember ever liking milk. Maybe I did some time before I learned to buttociate it with the pain and discomfort that it causes. I don't drink milk and I see no reason to get a subsbreastute for something I don't like. I don't know many adults who drink milk when they go out. If someone brings a lactose intolerant kid, and they know the kid will drink that soya based milk like product, they are welcome to keep it cold in my fridge. I am not buying it on spec.

That should be safe. Tomatoes and lettuce are near the top of the list of things I need to avoid, so I would probably leave them out. If someone serves me pasta with tomato sauce I will have a small helping and easy on the sauce, and then I will deal with the side effects.

Hey, I never said that I refuse to adapt a meal to a guest's known food problems, other than refusing to cater to vegans. They can stuff themselves on anything that fits into their animal product free diet, as long as they get to the veggies before my wife smothers them in butter. Just don't show up here unexpected and then get us to scour the cupboards for food that fits your diet and that you like just as we are sitting down to eat with 15 other guests. It ain't going to happen .... again.
