HT I gave more information as someone asked. I have no quibble with culinary fashion, only that many places take great time, words and effort to tell you about the food/wine but they do not mention all the ingredients.
I know that, regrettably, my body will not accept certain foods but, if I asked for a special meal - how would I know what it would taste like? There is no way of presampling them and so I might find that I could not eat it - which would irritate the staff as much as me! Incidentally, if I was to bore you listing the meals I enjoy, you would find that I do not eat bland meals. I realise it might come across as such.
