Across my family and their partners, we have:
- Allergic to all fruit
- Allergic to nuts & seeds - won’t eat anything that “may contain” just in case.
- Allergic to Seafood
- Vegan
- Coeliac
- Legumes set off his IBS
And then there are other people who are just plain fussy like the person who won’t eat anything with cream, creamy, or that is too similar to cream in their opinion.
Then you factor in children and I start to lose the will to live.
I really try to be an accommodating host and I always find something everyone can eat eventually but is just me or is it getting worse?
It was fine when it was just one person with a “requirement” but a lot of the ones I have listed aren’t very compatible with each other.
It really takes the joy out of it when I have to keep vetoing things or replacing them with very expensive substitutes!
