[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

This is not a "situation" this is extreme preferences that you really don't have the right to impose on someone else.[/quote]

You know, I've really come to the conclusion that one of the perks of being an adult is that I never have to eat something that I'm forced to eat ever again. If I want Captain Crunch for dinner, dammit, I'm going to eat that for dinner! And I'm not going to force myself to eat food just to please someone else. When I host a dinner, I always ask if there are any restrictions or preferences - no one wants to be caught unaware. There is nothing wrong with catering to your guests' needs. I don't eat meat, haven't for almost 30 years. That's my choice, and never would I eat it just to please someone. And it's also my choice to make sure that if I'm serving guests, they eat what they want. In this case, OP isn't asking the hostess to change an entire party's menu. It's just two families. She's an adult, and she doesn't have to eat goat tongue if she doesn't want to, and she owes no one an explanation.[/quote]

+1 I don't eat pork or drink alcohol and have no issue with declining either when at someone's home. Eat whatever you want - or not - without feeling guilty or bad about it as posters seem to be doing. [/quote]
