Dinner/Luncheon parties!

There was a time - I am sure there was - when guests turned up and ate whatever you gave them. These days the world is so beset with food fads and allergies that planning a menu is a nightmare!

Of the five people joining me for lunch tomorrow:-

D - everything has to be free from Gluten, Dairy, Eggs and Carbs. Doesn't like salad. Won't eat fruit.

W - allergic to kidney beans, capsicums and chillies. Won't eat prawns, sprouts, shellfish or gammon.

B - Cannot have anything cooked or dressed in Olive Oil - makes her violently sick. Doesn't like food cooked in wine. Doesn't like sauces. Won't eat Indian/Japanese/Polish/Greek food at all. Doesn't like cooked apples. Won't eat broccoli.

M - Won't eat beef - sets off her IBS, cannot eat cucumber, frozen peas, or cherry tomatoes because the skins are too hard to chew. Doesn't like salads. Soup has to be served in a mug because her frozen shoulders prevent her from using a spoon!

T - Won't eat lamb or pork. Doesn't like any fish except tinned tuna! Won't eat anything spiced or cooked with garlic.

It's a challenge!

Oh my goodness Tabs what a nightmare!

I think it calls for a buffet
Then they can please themselves!


I've been Veggie/Pescatarian for 36 years and I'm sure people shake their heads at me (on the quiet)..
But within that diet, I will eat ANYTHING!!!

No they bring their own booze as well, and yours for inviting them. They should be grateful they've got a roof over their heads!

Absolutely yes! Best food you can eat. Good for you and as you say d00d, it can be just as easily made with water.
Unless Tabby's fussy lot only drink Perrier that is.
