[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Geez, what is up with people calling OP [b]unrefined, immature[/b] and the like? If OP genuinely can't eat even mildly spicy food or else have a reaction, how is that OP's fault?? [b]And unrefined?[/b] As if eating certain foods makes you refined? What a joke.

OP, if you were my good friend, I would like to know your restrictions and would try to serve a few items that you could eat. [/quote]

I don't know about you, but I've never referred to mole or any sauce as "liquid shit."

That puts OP squarely in the unrefined, immature camp.

I hope she declines this invitation.

And [b]I think she's exaggerating about her friend's interest in what others eat just to make herself sound sympathetic.[/b] There's no way someone paying that close of attention would be OP's friend if they really love food.[/quote]

Doubtful. Foodies monitor everyone's meals and have to discuss every ingredient ad nauseum.  They watch you take bites to see how you react, to see if it evokes the feeling they had that afternoon in Rome. The ones I know are the ones who are difficult to be around, as they can't just enjoy people's company.  It's entirely about the food. I have a friend who will only eat like the OP. It's a little frustrating when I have a craving for Indian or Thai food, but she's my friend, and I'm more interested in catching up over dinner (even if it's bar food) than eating a unique meal solo. She's my friend. We can find middle ground. [/quote]
