[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm an extreme picky eater too and the one time I posted about it here, I got so many "troll" or "suck it up" replies, I'm afraid you'll get no helpful replies.
If it were a close friend, I'd explain the situation and see if we came up a plan together. If not, I would just politely decline or arrange to go to a restaurant (of the other person's choice) instead.[/quote]

Honestly, I think these are helpful responses even if some of the name calling isn't necessary.  It's perfectly acceptable to tell a host you have particular allergies, or at the table decline the wine or whatever.  It's simply pure rudeness to give the hostess a list of those things you don't like.

I get it.  My mother is extremely picky.  I struggle to menu plan when my parents come to visit, but because she's my mom and I'm no stranger to her food issues, I simply do it.  In your case, unless this is your best friend who already knows your pickiness, I don't think there's a polite way to convey this information.[/quote]
