Yes and yes. Obviously your sister knows how picky they are. If they can only eat dinosaur chicken nuggets (Seriously? At ages 8 and 10!?!?!?!
I mean, ok, if it's a 4 or 5 year old, but come on!), she should bring the damn nuggets or buy them something they will eat. It would be different if they had food allergies or your sister's family is vegetarian (always easy to have options/adapt meals to be friendly to both), but she is excusing their behavior. It is not your job to cater to ridiculous whims.
Though, if they do like hot dogs but don't like "lines", would they eat them if they were boiled or microwaved? That way you don't have to buy anything extra and it's not much extra work.
