Fussy Eaters

I am not fussy at all. I'll eat food with weird crap in it.

I know that most restaurants are crap, but tonight I was with someone that didn't want a bun with his burger and someone else that didn't want anything green on her plate!

Sorry, I'm a bit traumatised (and "indigested") :)

Yeah, I am pretty sure there are people who go out to eat with food being secondary to asserting their dominance to the staff.

Sad, really.

I agree, if you are a fussy eater eat at home.

I am trying to tell my boss that, I won't eat anywhere and I won't eat anything ... but she has this idea of us all getting poshed and having our office party eating out. She is insistent on getting her way on everything. But I won't eat crap and I so don't eat out ...
 
My Daughter is Gluten Intolerant but likes hamburgers. So she orders without the bun. She could of course waste food by leaving it on her plate.

Lots of people are intolerant to certain foods and have to be careful when eating out.

But, seriaslee, it's their money, they can fuss all they want, it does not bother me in the least.

The vendor offers a product, the client has the choice to take it or leave it. If the product quality is below par, sure, complain. But to order a chocolate steak and then complain about the steak having chocolate on is just wrong. And yeah, I've seen this happen!

I'm picky in what I eat, so I stick to things I like. I'll often try something I don't know, but if I don't like it it is my problem, not the cook's! He did his job, and gave me what I ordered.

*edit, saw Billy's post only after I posted mine.

Didn't think of fussiness in terms of medical reasons. That make sense, but I think the OP meant people who just don't like bread, or who dislike grean things, rather than have a valid reason not to eat something.

I am certain I would be what you call fussy....
I dont like any garnish on my burgers, the list of foods i dont eat or have never eaten are very very very long.
But, I tend to stick to plain stuff, I order a normal steak, no veggies, or a normal bolog pasta etc etc.

I think its fair to ask for certain variances on the menu, I dont think no garnish is a massive ask.
But when i waitered, people used to ask for the dumbest thing, they would order something, remove almost all of it, then add their own random rubbish. All in the interest of some stupid new diet or health magazine recommendations.

These same morons ask for bottled water, but then want ice with it. Where do they think the ice comes from? Also bottled water? morons

I'm not sure i'm catching the problem. If i ask for Wine or coke or Beer [which comes in a bottle] , and i ask for ice with it , then the waiter brings the bottle and a glass and a bowl with blocks of ice ....isn't that standard request? I would tihnk if you ask for bottled water you are doing so to actually see the bottle the water comes from [and not tap water] , asking for ice with it does not sound strange to me? How else do you get ice with water then?
