I also dont like seafood so any stirfry's or jambalaya's have to be ordered with shrimp on the side (which i will give to DH). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/special-requests-when-you-eat-out#post-185370 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 08:56:21 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 185370@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not very picky so I usually order things how they come. One exception is mayo. I can't eat mayo. But if they forget to take it off a burger or something I just wipe it off with a napkin instead of sending it back. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/special-requests-when-you-eat-out#post-185360 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 08:49:33 +0000 Alivoo01 185360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually its minor things like mustard instead of mayo on the burger, but I'm not a picky eater so I eat everything.</p> <p>@bluestriped bee: I'm Asian and can't handle the heat very well either. I'm trying to build my tolerance, but mild is still the clear winner. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/special-requests-when-you-eat-out#post-184945 Sun, 10 Jun 2012 20:02:20 +0000 sulli301 184945@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually order things off the menu, but ask for small things like salad dressing on the side or I don't want the pickle even on my plate bc it'll make my sandwich wet with pickle juice &amp; I haaate pickles. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/special-requests-when-you-eat-out#post-184938 Sun, 10 Jun 2012 19:57:43 +0000 lovehoneybee 184938@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It depends on what the food is. If I'm ordering a burger, I don't care what comes on it, I'll ask for it to be dressed how I like it (I can't stand ketchup, pickles, onions or mustard on burgers, for example). Or if something has avocado or olives in it and they can be easily not added I'll request that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/special-requests-when-you-eat-out#post-184937 Sun, 10 Jun 2012 19:57:02 +0000 prettylizy 184937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've just cut dairy out of my diet, so we'll see how that goes. My mom and sister cant have gluten or lactose, so they are always fixing or modifying stuff </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/special-requests-when-you-eat-out#post-184930 Sun, 10 Jun 2012 19:51:35 +0000 heffalump 184930@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tons. I saw jewtopia and they listed all sorts of Jewish stereotypes, one of which is that we order our meals like that. Its always I want the chicken salad with no chicken and no lettuce and instead of chicken can I have shrimp, extra tomatoes and no onions. I didn't know it was common for Jews.... I just knew I did it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/special-requests-when-you-eat-out#post-184928 Sun, 10 Jun 2012 19:49:53 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 184928@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If I am getting a burger or sandwich, I always ask for whole grain or whole wheat bread, and i alwayswas get ranch with my fries.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/special-requests-when-you-eat-out#post-184909 Sun, 10 Jun 2012 19:21:35 +0000 mrsmenow 184909@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like my food pretty plain so I usually ask for adjustments with condiments , but that is usually it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/special-requests-when-you-eat-out#post-184905 Sun, 10 Jun 2012 19:19:30 +0000 BSB 184905@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually order it as is. Unless we go to a Thai place, I usually tell them to make it less spicy. I'm an Asian that doesn't like spicy foods. Yeah, I know I'm weird. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/special-requests-when-you-eat-out#post-184904 Sun, 10 Jun 2012 19:18:45 +0000 MamaMoose 184904@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a really picky eater but I try to limit it to just one adjustment to the meal : ) I don't want to be annoying but at the same time I'm paying for the food, I might as well get it how I want it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/special-requests-when-you-eat-out#post-184900 Sun, 10 Jun 2012 19:16:44 +0000 hummusgirl 184900@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not too picky, but now that I'm pregnant I'm not shy about confirming that soft cheese is pasteurized. I also always try to remember to ask for no cilantro in Mexican and Asian food - I despise it!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/special-requests-when-you-eat-out#post-184890 Sun, 10 Jun 2012 19:12:42 +0000 eeh 184890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It depends who I'm with. If I'm out with my husband or my family I'll order it exactly how I want it. If I'm out with my inlaws or friends I try to just order something I'll eat as is. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/special-requests-when-you-eat-out#post-184888 Sun, 10 Jun 2012 19:12:06 +0000 cyneswith 184888@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There are a few foods I can't handle, so rarely I'll ask for those to be substituted, but usually, I just avoid them. I felt slightly guilty for ordering a virgin pina colada for desert today because it wasn't a standard menu item. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/special-requests-when-you-eat-out#post-184878 Sun, 10 Jun 2012 19:04:36 +0000 chopsuey 184878@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>USually I'll order the way it is from the menu. We like angel hair, so if we want a pasta dish but don't like the type of pasta, we'll ask that they use angel hair instead :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/special-requests-when-you-eat-out#post-184870 Sun, 10 Jun 2012 19:01:14 +0000 Periwinkle 184870@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not usually. I'm a pretty good eater and tend to order things as they are. It's been a bit different during pregnancy, since there are many more restrictions, I am very fortunate, though, and have no food allergies, so that makes ordering much easier! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/special-requests-when-you-eat-out#post-184859 Sun, 10 Jun 2012 18:51:16 +0000 Andrea 184859@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually no, not picky! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/special-requests-when-you-eat-out#post-184858 Sun, 10 Jun 2012 18:50:18 +0000 Rubies 184858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just avoid cucumbers - I hate them! If they show up on my plate, I just pass them over onto hubs' plate! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/special-requests-when-you-eat-out#post-184855 Sun, 10 Jun 2012 18:42:33 +0000 brownie 184855@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Absolutely! I am a terribly picky eater and on top of that I can't have milk or soy because of little man. Its usually easiest if I just get things plain. At subway I even ask for a new knife because the others have ranch and other sauces all over them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/special-requests-when-you-eat-out#post-184854 Sun, 10 Jun 2012 18:42:24 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 184854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't, even though I have some dietary restrictions - I tend to either order to suit my restrictions, or just eat around it. However, my mom has a LOT of allergies, so dining out with her is always an adventure.<br /> That being said, I have no issue asking for a substitution or for a check of the ingredients if I'm unsure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/special-requests-when-you-eat-out#post-184851 Sun, 10 Jun 2012 18:37:29 +0000 autumnlove 184851@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually order food exactly how it appears in the menu. Do you make a lot of special requests when you eat out? </p>
