[QUOTE="PolarBear81, post: 1910761, member: 493510"] All I've said to keep it basic for them is no potatoes, rice or bread (they don't eat pasta so didn't bother to tell them that). If they can't grasp remembering those 3 things then I feel there is no hope. They're not a forgetful family by any means so not sure why they can't remember 3 things. It would be a simple list if it where those three things but they seem to think naan or a bread roll isn't bread and a roast potato isn't a potato. I would then have to elaborate on what constitutes a potato or bread. I was more asking the forum for some help in trying to get the message across when I've told them I can't eat 3 things in any form. I've not overly complicated matters for them by going in to root veg or certain drinks and it's only in passing offerings of fruit where I've refused it. Ive not even mentioned pastry on ours but as they dont usually eat those there's no need to mention it. So I really haven't bombarded them with complicated or vast quantities of info. Which is why my husband thinks they are just ignorant. [/QUOTE]
