And don't get me started on people who say they don't like something when they've never actually tried it. Or who proudly announce they hate something as if it were some sort of badge of honour.
I appreciate that some peole have genuine allergies or intolerances but a lot of people used this excuse to change things on the menu. A person might claim to be coeliac when ordering their main course (so that the chef will alter a meal) and then eat a slice of bannofie for their dessert.
I don't eat chinese food (have tried it though, just don't like it) so have refused to go to nights/lunchs that are in a chinese.
Seriously, people pretend to have coeliac disease? I can't understand how this would benefit them-can you give an example?
Would you not point out to them that the bannoffie pie is not gluten free? If they are claiming to be coeliac that is very annoying to those of us that are. I wouldn't let them away with that.
If the person orders it themselves and you point out it isn't suitable they might say "oh I can eat a bit of gluten, just not too much".
I dont understand this - its a massive generalisation. You cant possibly have tried every single chinese food dish?
God, I thought I was intolerant until I read this thread.
If someone wants their steak black, no veg and just chips, what's the big deal?
And why should someone have to sample the entire menu of a chinese restaurant before they have the right say they don't like chinese food?
And if someone doesn't want to try something new, why should they?
I can understand this. Although there are plenty of different options, if you exclude say schezuan stuff and a few others, Chinese food tends to have a very characteristic taste IMO. I'm not in love with it - I'll eat it but it's certainly my least liked 'ethnic' food.
I personally am not a fussy eater, I will eat pretty much anything although I don't really like seafood(and no I haven't tried every single fish out there!). I have to say though if people are going out and paying for a meal, then really they should order what they want, the way the want it. I would much prefer this then if they ordered something they didn't want and then moaned about it all the way through, picking things off and leaving things to side - may as well get what you want and pay for what you want!.
