re: Truly minor food pet peeves

Maybe not minor. One of the first if not the first post I think I ever made on this board was about my biggest pet peeve relating to food - changing a recipe before trying it !!!
I have a go to casserole recipe that everyone that has ever tried it likes a lot. During a conversation about recipes a lady I worked with asked for my casserole recipe. No problem, I gave it to her so she could do it for the weekend since her family was coming to town.
She comes to me first thing Monday morning and told me she threw away the recipe because nobody liked the dish. I started laughing because I knew she had to be kidding. SHE WASN'T. During questioning she admitted she changed some of the ingredients but that my recipe was not good at all.
Sometime later after I had forgotten about her and my recipe we had a luncheon at work. I made my casserole the night before and just warmed it up before we ate.
Afterwards the lady came up and told me that the casserole was indeed very delicious and had the audacity to ask for the recipe again. You only get one opportunity to throw one of my recipes away and I never gave it to her the second time.

Another one which quite a few people have mentioned here about picky eaters relates to the same recipe.
I made the casserole for a couple/few family and friends get-togethers over time. One day a friend calls and tells me her husband loves the casserole and wants her to make it for him. I give her the ingredients and she was astonished because it included mushrooms (cream of mushroom soup) and Dave HATES mushrooms and cannot eat them.
She decides to do the recipe and just not tell him. Over the years this has become a favorite dish for their family and the kids request it all the time and especially for special occasions (birthdays, graduations, etc).
Dave calls me one day. He's at the grocery store and has decided he wants the chicken rotel casserole. When giving him the ingredients I purposely save the mushrooms for last. The long silence on the other end of the phone after the last ingredient was hilarious.
All those years of telling people he did not like and could not eat mushrooms, trying to convince his kids that they did not like or could not eat mushrooms and all along one of his favorite dishes had mushrooms in it and everyone knew it except him.
