[quote=Anonymous]This has got to be a troll post.  No parent insists that all 20 dishes are halal because their kid eats halal.  I say this as a vegetarian  who is always acutely aware of who else is abiding by special dietary conditions. In 30 years of vegetarianism, I've never seen this happen.

If I had a kid who was severely allergic to something, I might make a request. Though frankly, if I knew a kid in the crowd was severely allergic to something, I'd have already suggested a restaurant that wholly fit within that restriction, because I would have already been thinking about the poor kid.

But we've had many, many friends with mild to moderate allergies over the years, and they never make excessive requests.  Honestly, the vast majority of people with special diets are so self conscious about not wanting to trouble anyone, that they are usually 'underserved" in a group setting, but would never say anything.

OP, you're a nut because the scenario you describe has never happened - so clearly you're overexaggerating what did happen, and thus being a drama queen about what was likely a totally reasonable request.   [/quote]
