Do you Eat Gluten Free?

It is becoming harder and harder to cope with all the various "allergies" and things my guests insist they must avoid in their food. It has reached the point where holding dinner parties are now a nightmare because I must cater for the vegans, vegetarians, gluten free, along with those on calorie counting diets, non GI etc etc etc. Only a few years ago we held regular dinners at each others homes and everyone had a great time, eating whatever had been prepared with a few exceptions for strong allergies. Now those same people have 'discovered' intolerances which they seemed not to have suffered until recently. After having to cook food which looked so unappetising and tasted dreadful, three different main courses, including one which ressembled bird seed to cater for various diets, I have now decided although I love those friends it is no longer a pleasure to have them for dinner.
