I only want to know in advance, if they have allergies, have significant problems digesting certain foods and if they are vegetarian. But then I usually have a dish (he isn't always around when I entertain my friends) that is suitable for vegetarians.
I actually don't like long catalogue lists of particular food dislikes from adult guests in advance. I just ask what they want when they are served food.
I will ask if people want the next certain dish and serve/not serve amounts accordingly.
And I rarely am asked in advance what my food preferences are. Partially because most people who know me, know I don't kick up a big fuss about food. I do try a broad range of food given to me....except they may know I can only have abit of wine for I get abit drunk..very fast.You're right, the dinner for guests is a gift..but a gift like any gift doesn't always please everyone every time.
NB. Despite her health consciousness, she stunned us by eating 2 huge bowls of melted bittersweet chocolate sauce with whipped creme over pears poached in honey and wine with spices.

because it genuinely is healthy cuisine, even though certain dishes are slightly boring..because she had reduced on salt (which is good), alot less spices than I would use. Ok, I'm eating out of guilt
