My husband is like that too! Reminds me, a few years ago we were invited to a very posh Christmas party. All the horderves (I know thats spelled wrong!) were shrimp, crab, seared tuna, and one plate being passsed around of something with steak. Well, hubby remembered seeing a cheese platter in the bar. I volunteered to get him a nice selection of cheeses for him to nibble on while we were waiting for the main course. Welll.... one of the people at the party got snide and said "John's appetisers aren't good enough for you? You had to get something from the bar instead?" Really now! I replied that hubby was allergic to shellfish. Know what that jerk said in return? He said, "Food allergies are made up. Its all in his head." I was dumbfounded. I asked him if he'd want to sit in the ER next time my husband's throat closed tight because he ate food that accidentally touched a shrimp!
