True. Sadly, a lot of homeless people have psychiatric illnesses or psychological problems, and the number of food items in a traditional Christmas meal could just cause stress for some.
Even without mental health issues, some people are a pain in the neck about Christmas food:
"Can you make the pudding with vegetarian suet"; "I don't eat dairy - could you use almond milk?", "I'm wheat-free", "Don't put much salt/sugar into it", "I avoid fat", "I don't like frozen roast potatoes", "Can you take the ice-cubes out of my drink", "It's not Christmas without sausages wrapped in bacon", blah blah. Last year and this year, we'll be eating a delicious dinner for two, with plenty of left-overs for an easy boxing day. I take my hat off to those people in that restaurant. Rather them than me.
