[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Definitely find out food restrictions and preferences. All these people saying salmon or fish, I wouldn’t eat either. [/quote]

Agree with this. It’s always good to know preferences, especially for the main dish. My DH would never eat salmon and I would never eat lamb or veal. I’m not a picky eater but would feel rude having none of the host’s main protein. [/quote]

You know the mature thing to do is to eat a small portion, don’t you? I loathe eggplant, but main course were eggplant parm, I would take a piece, eat some of it, and then quietly eat the sides and dessert. The number of people who expect to be catered to is staggering.[/quote]

Many people are allergic to fish. My son will get hives and vomit. My SIL also breaks out. Fish is not just a shut up and eat it thing[/quote]

If you are allergic to a food (and fish? all fish? seems unlikely) the time to let the host know is when you are accepting the invitation. But only if you are truly allergic, not if you just "don't eat tomatoes."[/quote]
