I have food allergies (dairy). My boyfriend's friend has invited us to dinner again... They seem to use dairy as a theme for their dinners. Last time we went, the wife got really mad at me because I didn't tell her that I had allergies.
Is it appropriate to tell the host of your allergies?
(I did and she argued with me that I was lactose intolerant, not allergic...i am allergic..not lactose intolerant and I should know, I have been having this my entire life and have lived with it for 38 years..anyways, it does not matter because the bottom line is that I cannot eat it.) Do they think that they can argue me out of a food allergy? Aren't they supposed to have something that I can eat?
I just gave up and ate potato chips and told her that I was not hungry, left and went to the gas station around the corner to get a candy bar and ate it on the way back.
It just makes me wonder,,,what should I do if I am invited to someone else's house for dinner?
