Pushed further, just stated I couldn't have it, might even add it'd make me sick to have it. That usually ends it. I try and find something on the menu that I can have, even if it's just a drink.

Not to go off topic... but I am...
If I don't want to spend the time "fighting" with people about why I won't eat carby foods, I usually say... "oh it looks wonderful and I'll try some later..." Amazingly, no one has ever come back to check if I've "tried" some. It's worked 100s of times for me...
I'm a school teacher and we have pot luck galore at my school... seems like we have one every other day... Many times, I switch lunch duty with a colleague so she can partake in the pot luck and I go outside and hang with the kiddos.
