To think if your a fussy eater dinner invites clearly are not for you

[Thefishewife]

Sick of this my friend is always moaning I never over for dinner howver she only eats chicken has Katup with eveything (mostly the food I cook dosent require red sause so I don't buy it) she dosent eat ice cream cakes or cream ffs

My borther is coming tomrrow and we wanted to make pella for dinner he sexplained he only eats plain rice so would like it and also can't eat after 4 as it gives him wind so if he could come at 2 for a early Lunch my nice also eats only junk so sil brings her a packed lunch full of Dariyle dunks and scotch eggs and chocs my girls are pretty good eaters but it starts to get diffcult when Somone eles is having junk food I wish I never invited them

What the fuck is wrong with people

The autocorrect to sexplained surely means the OP uses that word very regularly. No idea if that's how it works, but really hope so.

Is it like mansplaining but all porny?

What's pella?

But op, Why are you inviting people for food if you know they are fussy?

I think she means paella for pella.

Yes?

I'm presuming paella?

That's the point Tups she doesn't invite her fiend over and her friend is complaining about not being invited over.

soubriquet and wittank Can you stop sexplaining to us please?

*friend

A sexplaining fiend?

Ah but I've not been sexplained for a week...gotta get my rocks off somewhere

Well, actually Tups it's her borther. A fiend would at least be out of the family

Tell your brother not to come. And tell your friend why you don't cook for her.

Yanbu. I can't be doing with catering for fussy people.

I hope there was no sextplaining between the both of you. That'd be seriously sick.

sexplaining ... sorry ... still aehm ..

Sorry, but why would you invite people and cook stuff they don't want to or can't eat, or why would you cook what you know they can't or won't eat when uou know they are coming?

I have a couple of friends like this, but it's more the vegan vegetarian thing, and yes if invite them I cook what they want to eat separately. It's a pain but I'd never dream of inviting people where I knew their food tolerances , cooking against it then whinging they won't just eat it anyway. This is uour friend and family and so you are fully aware in advance.

Yes, I think you're being totally unreasonable. Do not invite them for food or tell them no food, if uou do not wish to cater for them.

Can you cancel the cheque?

sexplaining is typo of the year! Genius!

Sorry but eventually the fuss pots leave you with a very very narrow choice of food if I invite Somone round for dinner I expect them to be fairly open

For example you don't get to say well sorry I only eat lobster and caviar

People have Diffrent budgets and also I don't class pealla and really out there in terms of dinner norms I not trying to feed them goats balls for gods sake I think if your very fussy then really you should decline dinner invites

I think dictating when food is served very rude, if you can't eat after 4pm, then you turn down a dinner invitation - although a lunch invitation should really be served at lunchtime (Which most people would put better 12noon - 2:30pm at the latest) - can't stand this "Sunday lunch" served at 4pm nonesense, just make it a bit later and call it dinner...

I would also expect a sunday lunch invite to be a roast dinner (which if you've got picky/fussy eaters, is usually safe enough as everyone can find something they can eat).

OP - you know your family, either don't invite them for meal times, or try to find something they can all eat (even if it's just part of it).

re your friend though - I would tell her straight that you like her company but because she eats such a restrictive range of foods, then no don't think it's a good idea to invite her for a meal.

But aren't they bringing their own food?

Dariyle dunks and scotch eggs and chocs

None of this makes any sense, I love it

Invite them round for a takeaway or put some sort of buffet food on

I would find the DNs being fed snacks hard, because while my DCs will eat a proper meal, they would obviously want the snack lunch if they saw someone else having it. But then I think it's best to try to find something the DNs will eat, or again, not invite for a meal!
