How the hell did you read that? I said that amongst my true friends, if I really want to eat Chinese food and another friend doesn't like it, I'll get Chinese food regardless. They'll be able to deal with it.

Now if they are craving something else as much as I'm craving Chinese food then we'd just go somewhere that serves both. But that's a different scenario.

You said 'I'll go with chinese, because deal with it' even though in the question it's specified that one friend does not like chinese food at all. Hence he would have to accept your needs before his own in order to be considered a 'true friend' by you. He just has to 'deal with it'.

But you also said you would not consider having food that everyone would be ok with (read: put your friends needs before yours) but rather have chinese food and have your friends 'deal with it'.

Your friend is getting the short end of the stick.

(This was not intended as an attack btw. I just thought you probably didn't think that through and found it funny.)

I did not think it through because there's no need to. I mean is that really how you would act with your friends? Choosing to go get non-Chinese food would be something you do with your colleagues or relatives - i.e, people that you have to act overly-polite around. Think of it as in real life. Would you tip toe around the fact that you're craving some Chinese food?
