I witnessed something like this once at a deli - lady is griping that the soups aren’t gluten free, but then goes right into deciding what rolls she wants… Meanwhile my stepmom has Celiac’s disease, and occasionally catches attitude from servers when she tries to figure out how serious they are about their gluten free options…
I can relate to this one- I generally don’t like seafood, if I smell or taste it, I won’t enjoy what I’m eating even if it’s something else. But I can eat canned tuna, as long as it’s the good stuff, and a few times I have been talked into trying someone’s fish dish that they “cook differently”- usually it’s not different, but on two occasions, I have been surprised. 20 years ago a neighbor made some buttered shrimp that was quite good, and a few years ago my wife got me to try some smoked salmon, and I was ok with it.
