Marmie: No More Kidney Puddings

Marmitetoasty: I stopped eating kidneys in steak and kidney puddings in honour of (JeanieS, who is awaiting a liver transplant). I stopped eating pan fried liver and onions in honour of my friend who has liver disease. And stuffed ox hearts are off the menu due to my friend Helen's son having a heart and lung transplant. I've stopped biting me nails. Chicken is off our list of likes due to the love of our chicken Janet. I can't cook Toad-in-the-hole in sympathy with Toadman. What the hell is this world coming to?

Question: Have you ever given up a type of food, habit, or anything else out of deference to an ailing friend or family member?
