A woman was praised for serving the “best” meal her brother-in-law had – only for him to flip and become angry when he learned of the ingredients. Cooking for guests can be tricky as trying to please multiple tastes and dietary requirements can often feel like something of a balancing act. For one 29-year-old woman, she was keen to welcome her family to her home for dinner at the weekend.
She’s a vegan but doesn’t “make a big deal about it” and says she cooks “tasty food and never forces anyone to eat a certain way”. For her family, she opted to make a lasagne, alongside garlic bread, salad and a chocolate cake. As a vegan, she logically assumed everyone would be aware she’d be preparing dishes with vegan ingredients. The food went down very well but things took a turn once her sister asked for the recipe.
On Reddit’s popular ‘Am I The A**hole’ forum, the woman explained: “Everyone complimented the food, especially my sister’s husband, who had two helpings and said it was ‘the best lasagne he’s ever had’. “At the end of the night, my sister asked for the lasagne recipe. I casually mentioned it was made with lentils and a cashew-based cheese. Her husband overheard and got furious, saying I ‘tricked him’ into eating vegan food. He claimed it was ‘unethical’ to serve him something without ‘full disclosure’.
