Screw her, I say.

She probably wouldn't like that either :-)

I agree. You can't win with picky people. If someone needs to
accommodate it should be the guest. Since other people are bringing
things, she can bring something she likes.

Okay, at what point in my original post did everyone miss the fact that we
weren't "accomodating" her? She actually managed to get a very nice plate
of food for herself, what with green beans (surprise! she actually eats
green beans!), dark meat turkey and a roll.

Green beans. So she does eat vegetables.

People are divided on this one so you'll be in trouble either way. If
you buy 3 sorts of cheese and she'll eat none of them, you're in trouble
for not being kind to a guest. If you tell her she's welcome to bring
whatever sorts of rolls she likes, you're in trouble for catering to a
picky guest.

I'm still curious about the sex thing. Why don't we ask her?

I was going by what my brother Scott told me.

I was very nice to her. My brother, on the other hand, treated her
horribly. He kept demanding she should surely like to eat mushrooms since
she eats cream of mushroom soup. He kept quizzing her on why she wouldn't
eat some cheese and crackers. Good lord, man, leave her alone!

She was gracious. I'd have punched him in the mouth and walked out. I
wanted to walk out well before dinner. He was so rude and so "superior".
And her sex life has nothing to do with her being a picky eater.

In my family (no hesitation here!) we'd have said directly to him "Hey
Joe.. lay off..you're annoying the hell out of EVERYONE here!"
