It is also important to consider that we are all unique. You may be able to eat tablespoon after tablespoon of peanut butter but for others this could be fatal. All our actions have consequences. We need to know this and act accordingly. You may also want to consider allergies when planning a party.
One way you can do this is to circulate a suggested menu to your guests prior to the party and ask for their comments. Those who are allergic to certain foods or who have made certain food choices (such as vegans and vegetarians) can let you know. This will save any embarrassment and worse during the party.
I am a vegetarian and feel that it is my responsibility to inform people when they extend the invitation that this is my choice. This way we can discuss the possibilities before I arrive for dinner. This is also a wise practice if you know that you have a food allergy.
The peanut butter lovers among us owe thanks to
George Washington Carver whose research and dedication with foods such as peanuts and sweet potatoes left us, among many other achievements, this delicious legacy.
