I generally agree. However, I think it's kind of BS that people can't "suffer" and find something with a mixture on the menu, or at least be aware they should keep that in mind. Case in point is our friend who is deathly allergic to shellfish. You are saying I can recommend we go to an oyster bar and he's supposed to have a grilled cheese at home and just sit there and drink? Seems like I should find a different seafood place with oysters on the menu so we can both enjoy.
Of course that rule does not apply to meeting new people or work dinners where someone else is in charge of the choice, as making a fuss over food while in the process of getting food is bad form (other than on the FB of course). To the extent that is your point, I am on board.
