[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why on earth would you be expected to eat a big bowl of it?!?[/quote]

Because in their culture it would be considered extremely rude and shocking to not eat what she prepared... an insult to her.[/quote]

Well, not in our culture.  Do you live in the US?

I really get tired of that BS.  I'm an immigrant and I do not expect people to adhere to the cultural norms of my country of origin.  When in Rome.....[/quote]

Well, I'd rather just eat it then get into a debate about culture with her in a language I dont speak.  I just need to know what to expect.  If it's super unhealthy I will beg off but other than that I'd rather try to choke it down[/quote]

+1  I'm with you, OP.  It is the polite thing to do.  I hope it tastes okay.  Oddly, tripe was one of the ingredients on Chopped the other day (it was one of the shows where fans suggested the ingredients).  Most of the contestants, professional chefs, had a difficult time with it but one really nailed it.  If your MIL is making it and it is a family recipe then chances are it will be pretty good!  Come back and tell us about it later!  You are a good DIL!!![/quote]
