2. Sure.
Just grin and bear it. Think about what a nice gesture it was for them to invite you over...and make sure you do the cooking from now on. :hug:

5. We had friends invite us over for dinner and then try to split the cost at the end of the night
I am not kidding

they bought (over priced) a bushel of crabs and invited us over to eat them. At the end of the night they pulled out the receipt and wanted us to pay half.

:shrug:

Super competitive this couple. We haven't heard much from them since I ran a marathon and our daughter developed while their boy spent his first birthday party throwing a ball at the fireplace.

I'm surprised they didn't charge you for parking.

9. Our very good friends invited us over for dinner and served lamb...
I hate lamb!!

I ate one lamb chop and that was all I could manage.

Ugh!!

They think it's hilarious and we joke about it all the time, now.

13. When inviting folks to dinner for the first time I always ask
"Is there anything you don't/can't eat?"
We know everyone doesn't like garlic, lamb, broccoli, etc., and we can work around that.

14. i do the same thing
or, if i have something in mind, i'll run it by them. if they don't like, i think of something else. it's just easier that way

i will say, though, there is something seriously wrong with people who don't like garlic :P

16. Agree about the garlic. One friend likes it, but can't eat it.
Every time he eats garlic he gets the colossal runs.
It's like Ex-Lax for him.
So we have to 'cook around' Arthur when he's here.
;-)

Oh, and I'm one of those people who doesn't like cilantro.
Tastes like chlorine to me.
I hear it's genetic.

21. I'm glad you ate the lamb chop.
When people invite you for dinner, they're opening their home to you and sharing their food. It really doesn't matter what the food tastes like. They tried,so my advice to people who complain about other people's food is EAT IT AND SHUT UP!

25. Oh, of course I ate it.
I would never insult a host -- especially my best friend and his wife.

The funny thing is (was), we have been out to dinner many times with them and they knew of my distaste for lamb -- they simply forgot.

We all have a good laugh about it, now.

11. Yes I have
I figure there's always plenty of opportunities to eat better food later...who am I to tell my friendly hosts their cooking sucks when I sit down at a meal with them? Grin and bear it, I say.

12. My sister's chicken cacciatore. She takes a vile American Italian plate of slop and makes it worse.
Edited on Sat Nov-08-08 05:14 AM by gbrooks

The result is my niece refuses to eat either meat
or pasta. Except my alho e óleo with pechorino Romano

15. My sister cooked a pork loin
to the CDC recommended temperature of 170 degrees. The larvae that cause trichinosis die in the upper 140s so there's no need to make cardboard out of a perfectly good pork loin. Didn't say anything since that would be rude. I'm sure I've made things that people don't like.

17. i know this is a sin
but my mother in law is not always the best cook.
but I would NEVER say anything.
she has a home ec degree from the early 60's and she thinks she's an expert.
My family could cook circles around her.

somethings like her cookies and such are good.....

but her meat is always over salted....and she uses "flavor packages" that I can't stand.
what's wrong with just salt and pepper...or at least use actual spices?
and over cooked...chicken, beef, pork...whatever its over dead and salty.

her veggies are over cooked.
I think this is why my husband HATES veggies and won't eat them AT ALL.
But i've gotten him to eat squash after I put it on the grill. He loved it.
I puree spinach into a tomato sauce so I can get him to eat something green.
It's a start.

26. Sounds like my MIL
Edited on Sat Nov-08-08 02:13 PM by latebloomer
who is now living with us (temporarily, please Goddess!)

We try to eat healthy food, organic when possible, not too much meat. She's a meat, potatoes and gravy kind of gal.

She cooks veggies for an hour in a huge pot of water, then lets them soak.

She can never get enough salt- I think we went through 3 times as much salt in the 15 months she's been here than in the 10 years before! I couldn't even eat some of her food, it was so salty. We asked her to stop putting salt in the food- we'd add our own if wanted. She was insulted.

She brings in crappy sausages, bologna, cooks grilled cheese in saved bacon fat, buys junky cake mixes. She makes cauliflower with cream of mushroom soup, and cake with Cool Whip. I have to tell the kids they can't eat it.

She loves to cook but I hardly ever ask her anymore.

Her mother was a dietician in the old days, and cooked like my MIL does. My husband thinks it's good because he grew up with it, but he knows it's bad for him.

Then she goes out on the porch to smoke every 20 minutes, and comes back inside in a cloud of reek- but that's another story.

38. Something I learned...
...in culinary school: as people age, their taste buds decline. Often that means that older people will over-salt and just generally over-season their food. Combined with the fact that your MIL is a smoker, which can also affect the sensitivity of the palate, I bet that's the problem. The strange part is that it tastes normal to them!

19. Yes. I have also had people show up and announce diet restrictions 10 minutes before dinner.
One of the worst meals of my life was a guy I knew who kept on bragging about this "Imperial Steak" that he made. Went there for dinner one night and he made it. It was like he took some REALLY tough cut of meat, cut it in 2 inch cubes, lightly browned it and doused it in cherry Jello. The meat was SO tough you couldn't cut it, and the longer you chewed it the bigger it got in your mouth. Nasty stuff, and I felt lucky to escape that meal alive.

On the other end of this discussion, hubby had an old pal and his wife coming to town and they were planning to stay with us. No big deal, except I don't know therm THAT well, so I asked the man if they had any special dietary things going on and told him I was probably gonna serve them Salmon stuffed with shrimp and crab. I even asked about veggie preferences (I always check the menu with guests when I do not know people terribly well so that everybody can eat SOMETHING on the plate...)

They show up, we are sitting around having a glass of wine, I excuse myself 'cause I'm gonna go make the salmon, and the WIFE says, "Oh, well what are you making for (the husband) since he's a VEGAN?" I was about ready to die on the spot because when I ran the menu past him he never said one WORD about being a vegan!

The only thing that saved me was a frozen entree I had that was vegan. I cooked that bad boy up and put that on his plate while the rest of us ate salmon. I have to admit, I was kinda pissed about that whole mess, however. Seems pretty damn rude to me.

Edited on Sat Nov-08-08 01:29 PM by HamdenRice
Some days I don't know what to think about DU. These are only the most famous lyrics in all of hip hop history:

I said a hip hop the hippie the hippie
to the hip hip hop, a you dont stop
the rock it to the bang bang boogie say up jumped the boogie
to the rhythm of the boogie, the beat

now what you hear is not a test--i'm rappin to the beat
and me, the groove, and my friends are gonna try to move your feet
see i am wonder mike and i like to say hello
to the black, to the white, the red, and the brown, the purple and yellow
but first i gotta bang bang the boogie to the boogie
say up jump the boogie to the bang bang boogie

well so far youve heard my voice but i brought two friends along
and next on the mike is my man hank

ya see i'm six foot one and i'm tons of fun
and i dress to a t
ya see i got more clothes than muhammad ali and i dress so viciously
i got bodyguards, i got two big cars

i got a lincoln continental and a sunroof cadillac
so after school, i take a dip in the pool
which really is on the wall
i got a color tv so i can see
the knicks play basketball
hear me talkin bout checkbooks, credit cards
more money than a sucker could ever spend
but i wouldnt give a sucker or a bum from the rucker
not a dime til i made it again
ya go hotel motel whatcha gonna do today (say what)
ya say im gonna get a fly girl gonna get some spankin
drive off in a def oj
everybody go, hotel motel holiday inn
say if your girl starts actin up, then you take her friend
master gee, am I mellow

well it's on n on n on on n on
the beat dont stop until the break of dawn
i said m-a-s, t-e-r, a g with a double e
i said i go by the unforgettable name
of the man they call the master gee
well, my name is known all over the world
by all the foxy ladies and the pretty girls

ya start poppin ya fingers and stompin your feet
and movin your body while youre sittin in your seat
and the damn ya start doin the freak
i said damn, right outta your seat
then ya throw your hands high in the air
ya rockin to the rhythm, shake your derriere
ya rockin to the beat without a care
with the sureshot m.c.s for the affair

but i rap to the beat just the same
i dot a little face and a pair of brown eyes
all im here to do ladies is hypnotize
singin on n n on n on n on
the beat dont stop until the break of dawn
singin on n n on n on on n on
like a hot buttered a pop da pop da pop dibbie dibbie

and find that i am the baby of the bunch
'but that's okay i still keep in stride

i said a hip hop the hippie the hippie

i said i cant wait til the end of the week
when im rappin to the rhythm of a groovy beat
and attempt to raise your body heat
just blow your mind so that you cant speak
and do a thing but a rock and shuffle your feet
and let it change up to a dance called the freak
and when ya finally do come in to your rhythmic beat
rest a little while so ya dont get weak
i know a man named hank
he has more rhymes than a serious bank
so come on hank sing that song
to the rhythm of the boogie da bang bang da bong

the women fight for my delight
but im the grandmaster with the three mcs
that shock the house for the young ladies
and when you come inside, into the front
you do the freak, spank, and do the bump
and when the sucker mcs try to prove a point


we're treacherous trio, we're the serious joint
a from sun to sun and from day to day
i sit down and write a brand new rhyme
because they say that miracles never cease
i've created a devastating masterpiece
i'm gonna rock the mike til you cant resist
everybody, i say it goes like this
well i was comin home late one dark afternoon
a reporter stopped me for a interview
she said she's heard stories and she's heard fables
that i'm vicious on the mike and the turntables
this young reporter i did adore
so i rocked a vicious rhyme like i never did before
she said damn fly guy im in love with you
the casanova legend must have been true
i said by the way baby what's your name
said i go by the name of lois lane
and you could be my boyfiend you surely can
just let me quit my boyfriend called superman
i said he's a fairy i do suppoose
flyin through the air in pantyhose
he may be very sexy or even cute
but he looks like a sucker in a blue and red suit
i said you need a man who's got finesse
and his whole name across his chest
he may be able to fly all through the night
but can he rock a party til the early light
he cant satisfy you with his little worm
but i can bust you out with my super sperm
i go do it, i go do it, i go do it, do it , do it
an i'm here an i'm there i'm big bang hank, im everywhere
just throw your hands up in the air
and party hardy like you just dont care
let's do it dont stop yall a tick a tock yall you dont stop
go hotel motel what you gonna do today(say what)
im gonna get a fly girl gonna get some spank drive off in a def oj
everybody go hotel motel holiday inn
you say if your girl starts actin up then you take her friend
i say skip, dive, what can i say
i cant fit em all inside my oj
so i just take half and bust them out
i give the rest to master gee so he could shock the house


it was twelve o'clock one friday night
i was rockin to the beat and feelin all right
everybody was dancin on the floor
doin all the things they never did before
and then this fly fly girl with a sexy lean
she came into the bar, she came into the scene
as she traveled deeper inside the room
all the fellas checked out her white sasoons
she came up to the table, looked into my eyes
then she turned around and shook her behind
so i said to myself, its time for me to release
my vicious rhyme i call my masterpiece
and now people in the house this is just for you
a little rap to make you boogaloo
now the group ya hear is called phase two
and let me tell ya somethin we're a helluva crew
once a week we're on the street
just a-cuttin' the jams and making it free
for you to party ya got to have the movies
so we'll get right down and give you the groove
for you to dance you gotta get hype
so we'll get right down for you tonight
now the system's on and the girls are there
ya definitely have a rockin affair
but let me tell ya somethin there's still one fact
that to have a party ya got to have a rap
so when the party's over you're makin it home
and tryin to sleep before the break of dawn
and while ya sleepin ya start to dream
and thinkin how ya danced on the disco scene
my name appears in your mind
yeah, a name you know that was right on time
it was phase two just a doin a do
rockin ya down cause ya know we could
to the rhythm of the beat that makes ya freak
come alive girls get on your feet
to the rhythm of the beat to the beat the beat
to the double beat beat that it makes ya freak
to the rhythm of the beat that says ya go on
on n on into the break of dawn
now i got a man comin on right now
he's guaranteed to throw down
he goes by the name of wonder mike
come on wonder mike do what ya like


like a can of beer that's sweeter than honey
like a millionaire that has no money
like a rainy day that is not wet
like a gamblin fiend that does not bet
like dracula with out his fangs
like the boogie to the boogie without the boogie bang
like collard greens that dont taste good
like a tree that's not made out of wood
like goin up and not comin down
is just like the beat without the sound no sound
to the beat beat, ya do the freak
everybody just rock and dance to the beat
have you ever went over a friends house to eat
and the food just aint no good
i mean the macaroni's soggy the peas are mushed
and the chicken tastes like wood

so you try to play it off like you think you can
by sayin that youre full
and then your friend says momma he's just being polite
he aint finished uh uh that's bull
so your heart starts pumpin and you think of a lie
and you say that you already ate
and your friend says man there's plenty of food
so you pile some more on your plate
while the stinky foods steamin your mind starts to dreamin
of the moment that it's time to leave
and then you look at your plate and your chickens slowly rottin
into something that looks like cheese
oh so you say that's it i got to leave this place
i dont care what these people think
im just sittin here makin myself nauseous
with this ugly food that stinks
so you bust out the door while its still closed
still sick from the food you ate
and then you run to the store for quick relief
from a bottle of kaopectate
and then you call your friend two weeks later
to see how he has been
and he says i understand about the food
baby bubbah but we're still friends
with a hip hop the hippie to the hippie
the hip hip a hop a you dont stop the rockin
to the bang bang boogie
say up jump the boogie to the rhythm of the boogie the beat
i say hank can ya rock
can ya rock to the rhythm that just dont stop
can ya hip me to the shoobie doo
i said come on make the make the people move


i go to the halls and then ring the bell
because i am the man with the clientele
and if ya ask me why i rock so well
a big bang, i got clientele
and from the time i was only six years old
i never forgot what i was told
it was the best advice that i ever had
it came from my wise dear old dad
he said sit down punk i wanna talk to you
and dont say a word until i'm through
now there's a time to laugh a time to cry
a time to live and a time to die
a time to break and a time to chill
to act civilized or act real ill
but whatever ya do in your lifetime
ya never let a mc steal your rhyme
so from sixty six til this very day
ill always remember what he had to say
so when the sucker mcs try to chump my style
i let them know that i'm versatile
i got style finesse and a little black book
that's filled with rhymes and i know you wanna look
but there's a thing that separates you from me
and that's called originality
because my rhymes are on from what you heard
i didnt even bite and not a god d--m word
and i say a little more later on tonight
so the sucker mc's can bite all night
a tick a tock yall a beat beat yall

27. This may be the longest reply I've ever seen.
This could be a record.

28. Were you even born when this came out?
I have "Rapper's Delight" on VINYL! And we had to crank up the dinosaur to listen to it. </Flintstones>

31. Everyone in my class
decided to have a "crush our Rapper's Delight 45's party" - we all brought them to school, put them in a pile and each one of us jumped on them. If only it would have crushed the memory of that song, too...

I still have a lot of crappy stuff on vinyl, however. :D

32. do in-laws count?
i have bad in-law luck. my first MIL was the worst cook ever, but since she started every meal with 4 fingers of whisky in her coffee, she had no idea. the tuna casserole with the standing water was probably the worst.
my SIL's family are the only italians i have ever know that cannot cook shit. and the concept of timing a meal so everything is done and hot at the same time is as foreign as the surface of the moon. in the same meal i have had pasta that you could patch a roof with and tira misu that was frozen in the middle.

you either have to make excuses or drink a lot.

33. Relatives.
My grandmother was a home demonstration agent (like a home economist) and boiled everything to death. I've seen other replies about dieticians that sound the same. I wouldn't eat most of her cooking. Some of it I was allergic to and some of it was just horrible cooking.

My former MIL was the worst cook I've ever seen. Everything was greasy and spicy. I would take one bite and run to the sink to get a glass of water and she would stare at me, like I was nuts.
I literally could not eat anything she cooked.
