Re the buffet thread, but not aimed at the OP as such, when did people* become so fussy about food? when i was younger and my mother cooked, there was no variety offered, it was "this is for dinner", that was that. and similarly when invited to dinner at peoples houses, it was a dish with whatever, possibly a starter, sometimes a pud. there was no pandering to various tastes or similar (unless someone was vegetarian/vegan), and there wasnt the thought process from the host(ess) to provide more than one type of meal for the party unless it was for a huge gathering.
in recent months, it seems to me that there have been numerous threads about how to cater for fussy eaters, and what to do (ATGs christmas thread yesterday as another example), with much hand wringing going on. whats going on? ?
* some / a lot - seemingly
