[QUOTE="SockFiddler, post: 1556241, member: 412001"] You can peel the toppings off and leave the base if you're eating carb-conscious but, as others have said, it's fine to let your hair down and carb-out once in a while - life still happens, whether you're low-carbing or not. Funnily enough, last night I held a house warming party for my closest besties who include a non-red meat eater, a vegan, a veggie, 2 gluten-frees, 1 low-fat and my son and I who are low-carbing. The menu for this motley crew? Ratatouille, which covers all bases, with "stuff" that people added according to their fancy - vegan felafel, turkey meatballs, chorizo baked in balsamic vinegar, various types of cheese, and on the side we had a big green salad into which people could add whatever "little" salads - zesty carrot, green bean and almond, cucumber and red onion and so on - and dressings they wanted. My son made little flags that said on one side what things were called and on the other side what was in them, so everyone could eat according to their preference. Dessert was a giant bowl of berries with various types of cream (there's even a vegan cream now) and vegan-friendly, 85% dark chocolate. Everyone was happy. What made this a particularly awesome menu was that other friends who couldn't make the party last night popped round on Friday and we all crowded around my kitchen table, nattering, chopping and prepping it all. It's not unreasonable to compliment the food you're served as a way to make a suggestion that, next time, something more appropriate to you be on the menu next time: "This pizza is amazing - you must have worked for hours, and it's a rare treat for me now I've given up bread. I saw this one recipe the other day where someone had used a portabello muchroom as a pizza base..." etc... If they're good friends, they'll want to support your chosen diet, and anyone inviting people round for dinner will want their guests to enjoy the food on offer. It's not unreasonable to put your foot down a little bit and make suggestions that suit you better, particularly if you use a wink of diplomacy :) [/QUOTE]
