[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I recently went to a party where the only thing served was dessert - cake and cookies. No fruit, no protein, not even a little cheese platter - I had snacks in my purse but I knew the host would be offended if she saw me take those out. I'm pregnant so I can't really go hours on end without a well balanced snack, so I ate what the host provided but felt pretty ill coming out of the party.

I think if you're going to keep people for more than two hours you should offer something other than sugar - I can't be the only one who gets a stomach ache when I eat like that. [/quote]

You had an out...you're pregnant and need to eat. Your host would understand if you ate a handful of nuts. Plus, why would you eat cake and cookies if it gives you a stomach ache? You opted to make yourself sick, and you are blaming your party host. [/quote]

Well I was hungry and that's what there was to eat. The host worked really hard to prepare a buffet of cakes and cookies and I didn't want to be rude, but thanks to DCUM I now know people don't mind if a guest rejects the host's food and instead eats out of her purse. If I were the host, I'd be very embarrassed by that unless the guest had some serious allergy issue I hadn't been warned about and had the opportunity to accommodate. [/quote]

You are crazy pants. Eat the food provided or don't. Eat the snacks you brought or don't. Nobody cares. [/quote]
