I am always accomodating when a guest tells me when confirming the invitation rather when they are seated at the table. When this happens I try to improvise something else for them. On the other hand "Picky Eaters" or the latest fad dieters are usually not follwed up on their capricious requests . It is quite unpolite to have your host leave guests and whip up something. I may sound harsh but if I were a restaurateur with a full staffed kitchen it would be different, but at home after a meal, china , silverware has been planned to perfection, such request seems out of place.
