When you go to a house party- do you expect home cooked food? Ok with Costco food?

Uh no. I'm not going a pot luck party. If I want to cook, I'll host.

As long as the food tastes good I don't care where it comes from.

Ew no. If you're hosting, you should provide the food. Don't make other people supply food for your party.

It's fine, I don't expect everything to be homemade or expensive.

I’m just happy to be invited. I don’t care who makes the food.

It is not enjoyable stuff from Costco. I

Also it sounds like it's his problem. I'm not the cook in my family, my husband is. And sometimes we're having people over for dinner and he got busy and we're having Domino's pizza. No skin off my nose. Make him solve this problem.

Yes. It’s tacky and not good. If you don’t want to cook, order excellent take out, or just have over for drinks. But Costco reheated food, hard no. That’s offensive.

When I go to a party, I expect good conversations and good food — in that order. I don’t care where the food comes from.

Upon reflection, that’s not quite true. I care that I’m being offered something that the party hosts value and enjoy themselves or that they have chosen to accommodate the preferences of their guests. Beyond that, I don’t care where the food comes from.

If by providing you're just buying a bunch of Costco food then you're barely doing anything. At least give other people a chance to bring something decent.

Maybe reread what you responded to again.

So do you like the Costco food or not? Can't tell.

For a cocktail party with apps, Costco stuff is fine.

For a dinner party? I'd judge.

What is a “house party”?

When I go to a party, I don’t care where the food comes from as long as it’s tasty. I do like Costco foods, sometimes they are better than homemade party food.

And who describes it as “gauche “!? I’m gonna wager that your husband wears an ascot…everywhere.
