One woman took offence when her mother-in-law did not respect her preferences for a holiday dinner, and showed her displeasure by walking out. She had previously informed her in-laws of her limited eating habits, as well as directed them towards dishes they could include in the meal that she would eat. Her mother-in-law informed her that she would need to bring her own dish if she wanted to be accommodated.
When she and her fiancé arrived at the house of their in-laws to celebrate the holiday, it soon became apparent that there was nothing on the table that she would eat. Feeling that she had communicated her needs as best as she could and that her desires were not respected, she made the choice to walk out without explanation. She shared her experience, and not everybody agreed with how she had conducted herself.

'I showed her dishes to choose from to accommodate me': Picky eater attends family dinner, leaves when in-laws don't cater to her specific tastes
Being a picky eater isn't always a choice, but how a person chooses to cope with it is.
Adults who are extremely selective about what they eat have a responsibility to make sure that their needs are catered for, and it is not uncommon for this to cause issues if they are not able to do this. From travelling abroad to enjoying restaurant meals, it can prove to be a setback in many different situations.
Sometimes, the most difficult challenge that a picky eater faces is feeling accepted by their family and friends. Not everybody is willing to accommodate the culinary needs of somebody who has a limited palate, even if they care about them. At its worst, it can be a topic that causes arguments and discord, especially when people are sensitive about it. Because of this, it has been known to disrupt family get-togethers and social events. Food is important.
