I go everywhere prepared. I never go anywhere more than 2 hours without food and water. I bring a cooler chock full of things I CAN eat, just in case the food is off limits for me, or I am still hungry. So far so good, I don't believe I have offended any hosts yet, nor do I mean to anyhow. You have to get over how other people feel, their feelings versus your own health. You have to look out for #1!
