[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It makes me sad to think that when my husband and I come over for dinner we are simply thought of as a generic "Jewish couple" and a list of difficult nutritional demands rather than as individuals, perhaps friends.  I wonder if all OP's guests are categorized in this way.[/quote]

I'm so confused by the joking and/or hurt feeling in the cooking forum. OP just wants menu suggestions. Geez. [/quote]

You obviously aren't Jewish.[/quote]

I am Jewish, and my feelings aren't hurt. I think the jokes are funny, and more important, I appreciate that OP would care to try to make a meal that didn't include pork or shellfish for us. If she served it, we wouldn't say anything or complain or think less of her, but we would be touched by her thoughtfulness if she didn't.

I'm sure she invited the guests as individuals and not as representatives of their respective ethnicities (duh!), but we ARE members of groups that do have group eating preferences. [/quote]
