[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 477489, member: 6705"] OK, I have never been a picky eater. There were/are a few things I'm not fond of. For years after I had my tonsils out, I couldn't eat scrambled eggs at all. While I loved cooked spinach, raw wasn't happening (that one has changed, as has cranberry relish. The jelly-nasty that most people have with turkey is still on my "ewww" list). Whole okra - bleah! But here's the thing. I [I]have[/I] been to, and hosted, people that couldn't/wouldn't eat certain things (BFF H cannot have red 40). So I adjust. I don't let Jett have too much Ramen, and I try to balance the diet out and have reasonable snacks available. But I also try to have things he likes on hand. String cheese... Bananas... Wheat bread (another thing I refuse to eat). And if there's a special request - I try. If I cannot do it, I will say so. BUT - if that's the case, the guest is more than welcome to bring whatever (I mean, c'mon, I have friends with infants, but I'm not going to go buy formula for them! Might not be the right kind!)...
