Chef Extraordinaire
Here is something to think about. When I'm invited to a gathering/meal, I know it is not to leave w/my belly as full as I can get it. It is to visit, see people, catch up, share, it's not for nourishment or for a free meal. Most people can be happy w/just a little bit(if there is nothing they really like). I see it as being rude to disapprove of a meal GIVEN to you. It is more polite to eat respectively as it is a gift that they put alot of love and work into.
Maybe I'm get'n off topic.
I couldn't have said it better myself, Al, and I don't think it's off topic at all. I personally think that "picky eaters" in general are on a rude power play....and I just don't play that game. They love to have attention brought to themselves in my experience, therefore they are not invited to partake in my cooking. Simple.
