We all know that person — and if we don’t, probably are that person — who is, for want of a better term, a bit of a fussy eater.
By fussy, I don’t mean difficult dietary requirements — that’s another article for another day. Fussy eaters are those who want unchallenging food they’ll recognise from a menu that doesn’t need explaining. It will need to be something simple and straightforward and ideally something that’s been had before, or a safe variation thereof. If you’re having beers, make theirs a lager. They want the curries to be mild, any sauces set on the side, all fishes to be un-fishy tasting and all garnishes gone. The suggestion of anywhere too fancy likewise tends to elicate a grimace.
