I know I'm awkward but......
This is going to sound crazy and ungrateful. I know it is. But I don't mean to be either
I don't see a lot of my son , he lives way down country. He's coming up next weekend and he's had a lovely idea. He's going to take me and a couple of friends out for Sunday dinner. As I say , a lovely idea. But ( wish I knew how to underline the world but!). . He forgets I am very very funny with food. And I know I'm getting worse as I get older! Vegetarian for a start, won't touch anything that's been in contact with meat or fish. Veg I'm picky with. Sprouts and carrots when there's a Z in the month. Anything ' wet' spoils a meal for me so that rules out sauces or gravy. The list could go on for a long time
I'm not keen on other people touching my plate and cups either. I live alone and visitors know what they can and cannot touch. Cutlery is another issue. And I know it's going to look bad if I take my own knife and fork. I did think about asking for the meat on a separate plate, I can take a little bag and being it home for my dog. Her diet is a lot better than mine😁
I know I sound dreadfully ungrateful. I probably am. But looking back I think I've always had issues with food. I've been worrying about this for a couple of weeks now, if I mention it to my son he'll say I'm being difficult. Which I understand. But I cannot help the way I am.
Any bright ideas please anyone?
