  Jeremy: It’s really nice of you to make dinner for me tonight.

Keeley: I’m glad to do it. You’re been so helpful to me, it’s only fair that I return the favor. I hope you’ve brought your appetite.

Jeremy: You bet.

Keeley: Great! Here’s the first course, a light soup. How do you like it?

Jeremy: It has an interesting flavor.

Keeley: You don’t care for it.

Jeremy: It’s just a little greasy 1 for my taste.

Keeley: Sorry about that. Why don’t you try this dish? It’s an old family recipe. What’s wrong?

Jeremy: Oh, nothing. I just don’t think it’s agreeing with me. Maybe it’s an acquired taste.

Keeley: Okay, maybe I can whip up something else for you...

Jeremy: I don’t want to put you to all that trouble. Sorry to be so fussy 2.

Keeley: No, no trouble at all.

...

I like cooking, but with such a picky eater like Jeremy, I might be cooking into next Tuesday!
