Requesting a Meal
If you’re going to accept an invitation to a dinner party, don’t expect the host to organize a special meal just for you because you are off sugar that week or are giving the paleo diet a try. If you’ve dedicated yourself to a specific lifestyle like vegetarianism or veganism, don’t announce your dietary restrictions in your RSVP unless specifically asked. Instead, bring something you and the rest of the guests can munch on as an offering, or eat up before you go. Of course, if you’re allergic to something, you should absolutely mention that ahead of time.
