picky eater v. ill-mannered hostess
OK, so we've picked apart the picky eaters. How about this?
I was once invited to dinner at the home of a certain someone (CS). CS
asked me if I had any food issues - I suspect she put it more nicely than
that, but you probably know what I mean. I told her no, no allergies, etc,
but I well and truly detest mustard. Maybe I shouldn't have said it, but
she ASKED so I did. She said "oh no problem", and that was that.
I thought.
At the dinner, she made a big homping deal about how she so very much had
wanted to make some kind of lamb-mustardy thing, but I was so picky about
mustard that I spoiled her fun (OK, maybe I am overstating that just a
tad....). I was *mortified*, close to tears in fact, because she went on
and on and on about it. I couldn't wait for the evening to end. Which for
me, is saying something!
How would you have handled it? I never accepted a dinner invitation from
her after that.
TammyM, don't hate me cos I hate mustard
