[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 9486948, member: 177"] A friend of mine doesn't like cheese. He isn't allergic, or lactose intolerant. He just doesn't like it. And that's fine. He gets to have his likes and dislikes, just like everyone else. We sometimes have people over for semi-elaborate dinners, and when we do, we do our best to adapt to our guests' dietary restrictions and tastes. When my friend was at one of our gatherings, we remembered that he didn't like cheese. So, when we put together the menu, when we wanted to make one dish with cheese, we made sure to make another option that didn't have a cheese-element. So, he could avoid cheese in his meal quite easily. But, it wasn't a health concern, so in the flurry of activity at service, we didn't think to warn him. After his [I][U]third helping[/U][/I] of the one dish available that had cheese in it, he went, "Wait, is there cheese in this?" And he got kind of offended that he'd been "tricked" into eating cheese. When the marketing telling you about pineapple is more important than the dish as a whole, it isn't really about the pineapple any more. [/QUOTE]
