Option C: Give them some bugs and tell them to appreciate their food and stop whining

I don`t think the question was `how to lose all of your friends?` though

Then they weren't really your friends to begin with.

Because you can`t make them eat bugs?

hmm, I kind of agree, but for different reasons. You would be the one that wasn`t their friend in the first place for trying to make them eat bugs

Lol, I missed the bugs part.

You literally just said: A true friend would put my needs before his, while in the same breath saying you'd never put anyones needs before yours.

You just called yourself a bad friend.

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?

Me personally? I don't think of it as being overly polite. In fact I give much less of a shit about colleagues or aquaintances.

But if I'm with my friends and we're all hungry in real life and I know one of them absolutely does not eat sushi even though the others are fine with it I'm not going to make one of my friends be miserable or go hungry just because I happen to like sushi. Not when we all could go and eat a pizza and be happy with that instead. I can have sushi literally any other day.

The conversation would probably be something like: 'Man I could really go for some sushi!' 'Sushi makes me sick, sorry dude' 'Awww man! Let's have pizza instead!'

It has nothing to do with tip toing around, but with caring about my friends comfort. I care about them because they are my friends. Or maybe my food cravings are just less fearsome than yours?

Other than that, just order food from diffrent services! :P

(I'm aware that sushi is japanense btw. I just picked that, because it's one of those really decisive dishes that people either seem to love or hate)

It's facsinating.  You are truly oblivious to the fact that you're the "bad friend".  This topic is more interesting than I expected.
