[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If she's your friend, doesn't she already know that you're a very picky eater. I mean she's watched you sit there and  eat crackers and plain naan -- how much more indication does she need that your family (or maybe just you) are not the ones who will enjoy a Mexican meal?

I'd decline this dinner and then maybe go out with her separately (not for food -- coffee or drinks) and tell her straight up that you love spending time with her and her family, but these are your food issues and they aren't about to change, and you don't feel like you want to be at her house being scrutinized for what you do/don't eat or being "taught" who to eat good food. She'll either accept that and invite you over next time and say "I'm doing chicken and potatoes, is that ok" or she'll be offended and will wonder how you were ever friends, and that'll be the end of dining with her.[/quote]

I think that this is good advice. You are who you are. She knows it, and she should accept who you are -- not comment on what you're eating or not eating, or try to get you to eat things she thinks you should eat. Your food issues are your problem to solve or not solve, not hers.[/quote]
