Her In-Laws Always Make Fun Of Her Food, So After They Asked To Try Some, She Shut Them Down
This thirty-five-year-old woman recently invited her in-laws over for dinner, and, before the meal, she suggested they try out a new dish.
She is from the middle east and absolutely loves a meal known as roasted lamb neck. And apparently, the dish is quite similar to ox tail.
After she told her in-laws about the recipe, though, they were pretty disgusted. In fact, they even said, “No, we’re not savages.”
“Then, they suggested they cook their own dinner since they were afraid I would cook something ‘freaky,'” she recalled.
Unfortunately, this is not the first time her in-laws, and specifically her mother-in-law, have made pretty offensive comments about her food. Once, her mother-in-law even called her bag of broad beans “chicken food”– which, again, really pissed her off.
Thankfully, her husband does always stick up for her against his parents. But, apparently, his mother is quite manipulative and begins to cry, shiver, and claim to have no idea what he is talking about every single time.
“Then, in the end, she blames me for turning her son against her,” she explained.
It is honestly a pretty toxic cycle. But, she did not want her husband to cut off his parents completely since she knew they were important to him. So, she has tried to look past the conflict in the past.
In turn, after her mother-in-law called the roasted lamb neck “freaky” this time, she just decided to let it go again and enjoy more of the meal for herself.

But, after she sat down at the dinner table, her in-laws realized just how delicious her meal looked. The lamb had come out incredibly tender and juicy, and their mouths were basically watering.
Then, they even asked if they could try some. But she responded with a biting comeback.
“No, I cooked only enough for myself, and I can’t risk you becoming ‘savages,'” she said.
And even though saying that felt quite good at the moment, it really upset her in-laws. In fact, they even claimed that she ruined the dinner for everyone.
Plus, after confiding in her friend, her friend also said she should have just let the comment go instead of causing a scene.
So now, she is pretty torn about the situation. Don’t get me wrong; she does not think it is ever right to make fun of other people’s food. But, she’s not sure if making that comment toward her in-laws was the best way to go about the situation.
Do you think she should feel guilty about her response or not? What would you have done in her situation?
