recommend lunch with contractor(s)?

Depends on how big your belly is. If I lean forward just a little, I don't get any food on my clothes regardless of how messy it is. Maybe twirling spaghetti, but french fries? Seriously?

How unAmerican that you do not smother your fries in ketchup! lol

Well, I'm not an American, though I've lived here for a day or two.

And fries with ketchup is a lot less messy than spaghetti with red sauce, unless your gut is so large that you don't have a lap.

If your are known for anything "good"?

Had one repair guy drive from Michican to Chicago for a single service call. He seemed keen on getting an Italian Beef (It's a Chicago-area sandwich nobody outside the area can get right for some reason). He just wanted to know what place to try.

It's something I take for granted, but they're a big deal for visitors.

I can't stand ketchup in or on anything, because of the vinegar in it. Eat it if you want to, but keep that garbage away from me. It makes me violently ill.

Holy horse-feathers we're lighting that candle from opposite ends: I positively DRINK the stuff, LOL!

Make your own vinegar-less ketchup: I've never tried it but it looks interesting.

Good. Buy it buy the gallon, and guzzle it. I had to use white vinegar to clean a wound last year. Nine months in Wound Care. It was all I could do to wipe away the dead skin, while holding my breath.

Wait.. what?

What part don't you understand? Telling you to drink the stuff, or being in wound care for some deep ulcerated wounds on my leg?

I interpreted the second part as: consuming ketchup landed you in the hospital, and I was quizzical as to how that could have happened. LOL

The leg wound part cleared things up. Guess you just have an aversion to vinegar, in any form.

I had a so called 'friend' hold out a bag of potato chips, but I couldn't see the label. He was laughing as I was gasping for breath, because they were full of vinegar. I didn't even have to swallow them to be sick for three days. I have to avoid all condiments on food, because most have vinegar in them. I cook my own food, so that I can make sure there is no vinegar in it.

Horrors! I apologize for not appreciating how serious your allergy really is. I have a likewise averse reaction to simple house dust, due to circumstances during my youth I'd rather not go into. Simply put, one speck of dust, one stray hair, and I'm down and out!

We all have something that affects us. The problem is when others ignore the issues they have been told about. I'm diabetic, but people keep trying to get me to eat things that are loaded with sugar. I am already having problems controlling my glucose levels. I am on two 1000 mg of Metformin, which is the maximum dose that is considered safe, along with two shots of 50 units of insulin per day. Add four test strips a day, and that is six times that you have to poke holes in yourself.

As far as dust goes, I used to use a large exhaust fan, and the air compressor to stir it up, and suck it out of the shop. or my home. Always on the upwind side, of course.
