[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]

My BIL does not eat seafood of any kind. He really only eats chicken breast, protein bars and crackers.

BUT we were invited to dinner at a friend's house and they served a pork stew with clams. They had just returned from Portugal and this recipe was in a cookbook they bought.

BIL put several pieces of the pork and 1 clam on his plate. Ate all of it, and raved.  I've never been so proud.

Grown ups don't impose their petty preferences on hosts. They make do. [/quote]
