@vintagejenta, yes I think banana ice cream would be awesome poured into a banana mold! I've never done it but would love to hear how it works for you.

So strange on the Nutella! I had that written up last night... oh well - fixed now! :) Happy banana ice cream-making!

@Nannypoo - semisweet. Corrected. Milk chocolate will work just fine too, but I like just a bit less sweetness.

@AIDELK I don't want to speak for Rachel, but I'll link here to her archive of kitchen renovation posts on her blog. (And no, there isn't an Ikea in Columbus - we all drive down to a Cincinnati suburb, about 90 minutes away.)

@Blueschiz no, this is a compressor model of ice cream maker, which means that it has its own internal freezer. You don't have to pre-freeze any of the components.

Ha - I am not sure "moreishly" is really correct, but yes, moreish is a very nice word.

@Magzeen I always just use all-purpose. I think that the crumb would be a little finer with cake flour, but I rarely use it. I just made this over the weekend, in fact, for a friend's birthday. It's a very reliable sort of cake!

@dlouise21 yep, photo credit is always at the bottom of the post - in this case, Peter Kim via Shutterstock (we occasionally use stock from them).

@ChefJen, yes I have a couple of these plates in different sizes and they make great little serving platters. They're from the Mercer dinnerware line at Crate and Barrel.

@RUCY we're covering EuroCucina, the big European kitchen design show. And no, almost nothing we saw there would fit into the "average AT kitchen" -- but it's interesting to see trends and design from that perspective.

@discerning: Yes, that link on all of these posts goes to our entire archive of EuroCucina posts. Not quite sure what you're seeing on your end; please email us directly if you're having technical problems or want to make a comment about editorial, especially since I don't have any idea of what you're talking about re: "double-posts" and "spinoffs" -- as I'm not aware of anything like that on The Kitchn and would like to know if you're having technical problems. Thanks.

@vintagejenta I know!! That's an old post - pre-DSLR and Photoshop. But don't let the photo turn you off; that is still one of my all-time favorite salads.

Just for the record, in case it wasn't clear, the title and infographic on this post are my own way of poking some sly fun at those who gripe and moan about accommodating eating and spiritual preferences different than their own. It's part of hospitality to embrace even the most "difficult" set of constraints, and come on - it can be fun!

And I agree with MAMANE - let's move along now and if you have a favorite dish that is a great option for all (esp those not on this diagram - kosher, diabetic, IBS, etc. - please do share!


The Most Difficult Dinner Guest Ever: And 5 Delicious Meals To Feed Them

@JUDIAU I totally agree, which is why we titled this post "difficult" - instead if "worst" or "bad" or something like that. It's about dietary restrictions being challenging or difficult to the cook -- not having bad guests! :)

Twitter comment via Littleofwhatyou: Vegetable curry or butternut soup can be very impressive but also quite cheap to make.

On overcooking, yes, slow cookers run quite hot these days. I never cook on HIGH, only on LOW, and even that gets up to a simmer (which is why, on the whole, I prefer the oven, set to 200 or so, over my slow cooker these days). So cook on LOW, and stop cooking a little sooner than you might expect.

I have to disagree, though, on the browning! It does make meat look nicer, but much more importantly, it builds flavor in a way that you don't get otherwise in the slow cooker. Sometimes I even grill meat before putting it in the slow cooker overnight. Best of both worlds: Dark flavor, tender texture.

The cheese was actually not from a specialty shop or even very expensive. I bought it at Giant Eagle - I believe it was Montchevre fresh goat cheese in fig. It is a pretty widely-sold brand - maybe a seasonal flavor?
