Food Deconstructors

[Mabelline]

Smithy--that sounds like her problem, seeing's how you already said there were potatoes and veggies.

"What's for dinner?" she inquired. "Pork roast, potatoes, gravy, veggies!" I responded.

Vegetarians can be such boars. I mean...boors....no wait, I mean BORES.

I have a friend who is very guilty of the deconstuction of food. Not only that but now she will say she is allergic to things that I know she isn't. The only time I've eaten with her when she has ordered exactly how it's prepared was in Europe because she didn't speak the language!!!

In fact last night we went out for French and she wanted the quail. But it came with green curry sauce which I guess she hates. Order the lamb I said, no it comes with pesto sauce which she hates. So she orders the quail without the sauce and asks the waiter to have the kitchen put another sauce on it. As long as it's not pesto or mushrooms. GROAN!! Talk about disrupting the balance on a dish!

Of course there are things we all don't like or are allergic to but deconstructors are different. You know who you are!!!

LOL!!!! Hmmm, great idea. Also tonight for example I'm cooking for friends and she is preggo. Wow, you really have to think and ask with that one! Once I had a dinner party for 8. I had to make a chart because 1 only ate chicken, 1 only ate beef and pork, 1 only ate veggies and the rest of us will eat anything. The results??? Mini lasagnes in a variety of flavors so everyone could pick their own.

I actually have and keep a file on friends so that I can plan meals better. But I don't go in for the Atkins crap. In fact they are most likely to find pasta and bread on the table if they tell me that!

Second that, and thanks to Mabelline and ellencho, also!

It got better: it seems as though, even though my friend isn't a vegetarian, she lives with two. Now get this: in a household of 6 people, only 2 are vegetarian...but one of them is so militant that *no* meat or meat products may be anywhere in the refrigerator. Yes, everyone has his or her own section of the 'fridge. Doesn't matter. No broth, no meat, nowhere in the house, never in the cookware or storage units. I've been poor before, but I'd have to be living much, much closer to the wind before I'd put up with that setup...

[Mabelline]

With that kind of a setup, I'm surprised she did not do a full swandive into that pork.

The shelter would have to be pretty full before I'd have that kind of a living arrangment. That's just weird.
