I just wanted to be clear that, in addition to the (arguably justified) anger, there's a good point being made.Particularly when, in general, it is seen as appropriate etiquette for a host to provide options appropriate to the preferences and interests of those they serve meals to, even though it is (usually) purely the host's effort to create those meals. It's most usually phrased in terms of vegetarians or vegans eating at a non-vegan's home, but it can easily work the other way--or have split issues. For example, having both a vegan friend and a friend trying to use the "Atkins-style" diet (that is, low to no carbs) would almost certainly require extra effort on the part of the host--perhaps even creating food that the host doesn't like and wouldn't make for personal eating.Though even that doesn't quite cover it, because you're really not making the food, are you? You're making the beverages and choosing the night's film--the food is ordered by the guests from a third party. And you're telling them "nobody can order the salmon, I don't like salmon and don't want it on my dining table." Even though you never need to eat it, and would barely even notice its presence much of the time.</blockquote>
