In preparation for my return to the States after two years in China, I sent a list of food requests to my parents (all things that have been conspicuously absent from my life in that period of time):
sliced turkey for sandwiches
good bread, something whole-grainy
bagels
OJ with medium pulp
lowfat milk
plain (not vanilla) lowfat or fat-free yogurt
whipped lowfat cream cheese with chives
goat cheese
sour dill pickles
baby spinach
grapes
strawberries/raspberries
Port (prefer tawny to ruby, but not a big deal)
This is what my Dad sent back:
K -

The management of this American Express Fine Property always welcomes catering to our guests' special needs and we are known for our friendly and efficient self-service. We wish you a pleasant stay at our establishment and look forward to your arrival.
The Management
(It's even funnier in person.)
