I guess bar-b-que, burgers, fried chicken and french fries are great, but not if you are wearing a buttoned-up shirt that day. So, if you have to eat lunch with a client and other contractors in a diverse environment, what would you recommend?
I remember I was watching Seinfeld and somebody ordered chicken or tuna fish salad. Yeah, that's something I could agree with... especially with lettuce, tomato, mayonnaise on well-done toast, with plenty of black pepper and a pickle slice and a cup of coffee. That would seem less "trashier" than slobbering over friend chicken, bar-b-que and coke, right?

Depends on how big your belly is. If I lean forward just a little, I
don't get any food on my clothes regardless of how messy it is. Maybe
twirling spaghetti, but french fries? Seriously?

Well, I'm not an American, though I've lived here for a day or two.

And fries with ketchup is a lot less messy than spaghetti with red
sauce, unless your gut is so large that you don't have a lap.

If your are known for anything "good"?

Had one repair guy drive from Michican to Chicago for a single service
call. He seemed keen on getting an Italian Beef (It's a Chicago-area
sandwich nobody outside the area can get right for some reason). He just
wanted to know what place to try.

It's something I take for granted, but they're a big deal for visitors.

I can't stand ketchup in or on anything, because of the vinegar in
it. Eat it if you want to, but keep that garbage away from me. It makes
me violently ill.

Make your own vinegar-less ketchup:

I've never tried it but it looks interesting.

Good. Buy it buy the gallon, and guzzle it. I had to use white vinegar
to clean a wound last year. Nine months in Wound Care. It was all I
could do to wipe away the dead skin, while holding my breath.

What part don't you understand? Telling you to drink the stuff, or being
in wound care for some deep ulcerated wounds on my leg?

I interpreted the second part as: consuming ketchup
landed you in the hospital, and I was quizzical as to
how that could have happened. LOL


The leg wound part cleared things up. Guess
you just have an aversion to vinegar, in any
form.

I had a so called 'friend' hold out a bag of potato chips, but I
couldn't see the label. He was laughing as I was gasping for breath,
because they were full of vinegar. I didn't even have to swallow them to
be sick for three days. I have to avoid all condiments on food, because
most have vinegar in them. I cook my own food, so that I can make sure
there is no vinegar in it.

Horrors! I apologize for not
appreciating how serious your
allergy really is. I have a
likewise averse reaction to
simple house dust, due to
circumstances during my youth
I'd rather not go into. Simply
put, one speck of dust, one
stray hair, and I'm down and
out!

We all have something that affects us. The problem is when others
ignore the issues they have been told about. I'm diabetic, but people
keep trying to get me to eat things that are loaded with sugar. I am
already having problems controlling my glucose levels. I am on two 1000
mg of Metformin, which is the maximum dose that is considered safe,
along with two shots of 50 units of insulin per day. Add four test
strips a day, and that is six times that you have to poke holes in
yourself.

As far as dust goes, I used to use a large exhaust fan, and the air
compressor to stir it up, and suck it out of the shop. or my home.
Always on the upwind side, of course.
