[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please do not serve people. It’s rude and wasteful.

I agree 100%. Not everyone likes everything; people have diets they want to follow; people have restrictions and even allergies that they don't wish to discuss or defend. Never never ever ever put a plate of food in front of a grown adult unless they specifically ask you to or agree to that when you offer.[/quote]

This is so interesting to me.  I am a chef and plating the meal a certain way is part of the experience. In our home, our Thanksgiving guests are our families and we are well aware of any food allergies.  Since I’m asked to host every year, I guess nobody thinks I am rude (shrug).  You, on the other hand, both sound like very rude dinner party guests.[/quote]

Hello, duh, restaurants are different than someone’s home. A chef is not insulted if you don’t eat Aunt Edna’s creamed spinach. When you order, you can request a substitution or talk through allergies. You can give a sever or chef literally an order, as you are the paying customer. It’s different for a GUEST.[/quote]

A "guest" should graciously accept what he or she is given.  Did you grow up under a rock?[/quote]

We are talking about THANKSGIVING. Not a formal dinner party with a soup course, a main dish, and two sides.

If you think for one second I’m going to eat green bean “casserole” because you glopped it on my plate, think again. I eat turkey and the sides of my choosing. And no, Gladys, I will not be choking down creamed onions to please you.

If you think there’s no difference between a formal dinner party meal and a full holiday feast, you’re a moron, and clearly no “chef.”[/quote]
