[quote=Anonymous]I would phrase it more as "I'm making XYZ, which if I understand your limitations, you can eat. However, I won't be offended if you want to bring something particular for you or the kids".

I have food limitations. I am lucky in that the thing that makes me sick I have to eat in a decent quantity (think like a tablespoon of peanut butter and not a peanut flake), so unless the meal is made up entirely with my forbidden food or the item is extremely obvious, I don't worry about what might have a dash of something in the sauce. However, if I'm really hungry and have no idea what to expect, I eat a significant snack before I go.  I'm there to see the people.

My son is a picky eater, but I don't ask anyone to make him something special. He either eats or he doesn't. He won't starve, and I try not to overly cater to his pickiness.

When I cook for others I make sure I have the bases covered (check if anyone is vegetarian, gluten-free, kosher, etc).  However for someone like broccoli lady, she's a pill and the PP did her due diligence and was not in any way wrong. Some people really shouldn't go out in public. [/quote]
