[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Trust me, the burden is on me.  I will eat what I like, and if the food is unpleasant to me, I will be hungry until I can get home and fix myself something later.  I never make demands.  This is the most important thing:  I absolutely do not want anyone to notice or comment on what I eat.  If you comment on what other people are consuming, you're the AH.  Keep your opinions on what other people should or should not be eating or drinking to yourself.[/quote]

I’m sorry, can you show me where anyone suggested that anyone say anything to adult picky eaters? You may want to start your own thread, since you have nothing to contribute to this one.[/quote]

I’m a somewhat picky eater and totally understand where PP is coming from. I make sure to take food I like but don’t need people making nasty faces when I don’t take some of everything. I’ve read many posts on here where hosts disparage their guests for not eating everything that was served since they worked so hard to impress with the meal. Fine. I get it. But, please remember that the point of inviting others for a meal is not to show off your culinary prowess, but to spend time with others. When you’re the host, you’re supposed to make your guest feel comfortable and welcome.[/quote]

If you indulge your pickiness to the point that literally anyone even notices, you are being a bad guest. I have a former roommate who was an extremely picky eater, and the only reason I knew about it at all was that I lived with her, and she challenged herself a lot because she cared about her nutritional needs, and she had a job that involved a lot of travel and corporate dinners and parties. When we went to parties and dinners, she ate beforehand and managed herself in such a way that no one noticed or cared how much she ate, or what she ate. I can think of a thousand ways not to eat every bite of every thing and have no one notice.[/quote]

This is just not true. I eat nearly everything and I still remember a time I made no comment but picked around the eggplant in a dish (one of the only things I can’t stand) and the cook noticed. Of course people notice.[/quote]
