Quote: I have been very frank with people and have come across very few odd responses...to my face anyway!
We have been invited over for steaks...gasp...and I merely asked if I could bring chicken breasts for the grill as my stomach doesn't tolerate red meat and all was well.
I had no idea there were so many insensitive people in this world!
I've never really had a problem either. Anytime I'm invited to eat at someone's house when they know I don't eat certain things, they either offer to make something else for me or make me feel more than welcome to bring whatever I want, which is what my BF's family told me to do for Christmas since they are having ham. I'm bringing tofu stuffed shells. They are more interested in my company, than in if I'm eating what they made. I think it's ridiculous some people are offended if others can't eat what they make.
