[Sca-cooks] Fussy eaters

[Pat]

This is a fairly frequently visited thread on this list.  I have a really hard time with it, because of the way I was raised.  When I was growing up, one ate what was placed in front of one, and at least pretended to like it.  Any thing else was not only extremely rude, it was a waste of food, which was unforgivable.  I still find it insultingly rude when I'm told, "You can't cook that for feast here because so-an-so is allergic to citrus, or nuts, or is a vegetarian."  You don't have to eat what I put before you, and you don't have to work in my kitchen, but please do not dictate what I can or cannot cook based on the food preferences of one or a few.  I have NEVER insisted, or even requested that diabetic friendly food be served at feast just because I am diabetic.  I know how to take care of my own dietary needs, and I expect other adults to do the same.  Children, unless there are health issues, should eat what is placed before them.
