i'll accommodate things like food allergies...something that is out of their control. and i'm not going to purposely cook things that i know my guests don't like. but what i won't tolerate is people acting like a child because they don't like some specific ingredient in a dish.

i have a friend that refuses to eat onions, peppers, or mushrooms. trying cooking anything for that dude...

there are certain ingredients that i don't care for but i'd never refuse to eat a dish or pick out the ingredient...that is pretty rude, especially if you are a guest in someone else's house. act like an adult, and just eat it...it isn't going to kill you.

I agree.
And I'd probably lie if they asked because cooked down onions are usually unnoticed to the eye in heave sauces and many dishes.

I have a friend who seriously "won't eat anything green"

She'll pick out PARSLEY FLAKES

green onions, seasonings, etc.
