[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP who hosts a lot here -- for God's sake if your preferences are really strong about something like fish or lamb or any other common protein, PLEASE let me know ahead of time.  I can't accommodate what I don't know about, and I honestly don't care.  I don't want you to suffer in silence.[/quote]
I'm a frequent host as well.  I accommodate allergies, religious requirements, and vegetarians/vegans.  I will not bend myself into a pretzel to accommodate multiple diners with conflicting "preferences"  - one doesn't want to eat fish, another won't eat lamb or pork, another is low-carb, someone doesn't like onions... I have preferences, too.  But I'm going to eat someone's lovingly prepared food even if it isn't my favorite thing in the world because I WAS NOT RAISED BY WOLVES and will survive a single meal that falls outside of my comfort zone.  The world does not revolve around our personal likes and dislikes, FFS![/quote]

I agree it can be a PITA.  I do judge the couple who had to be gluten free and KETO, with several protein restrictions.  At that point just decline the invite...Needless to say we did not develop that relationship because it said a lot about who they were as a couple too, we learned that night.  Some people are just not happy individuals and it conveys through signs like extreme pickiness.[/quote]
