Picky eaters that don't tell you ahead of time.

Once cooked a jambalaya for some friends coming over. All week I hear how much they love jambalaya and can't wait to eat it.
The day comes and they arrive and I'm still in the middle of cooking, and the wife sees me cooking down the trinity. The wife asks me why did I put onions, because she doesn't eat them.
So what kind of boxed jambalaya are you used to eating? I was pissed, especially when they left to go run to get her something at Burger King.

Your story sounds like more than a "minor food pet peeve." That's downright horrid.

Well seems like she is a dumb arse because pretty much everything she eats has cooked onions in it. I say I dont like onions either but that is referring to raw onions on a burger or something similar.

My sister in law showed up with a can of jar spaghetti sauce for herself when I invited the entire family over for home made spaghetti. She claimed she didn't eat ground beef (which was in the sauce).

This one drives me crazy. Being in the food business, i know that 90% of all cooked food is cooked with onions as a primary ingredient, yet i get people all the time try to tell me they are allergic to onions.

A person would probably starve to death if they were truly allergic to onions!

That's just aweful, not that it matters, but I assumed friend's wife not yours? I guess it actually does matter, if the guests wife, damn, a grown arse adult couldn't just bear down and eat it? If your wife, not really as rude since she your wife and you the one that cooked it. My buddy cooked a duck gumbo one year and I brought my wife who doesn't like duck and okra. She still ate a bowl of it and thanked the cook.
