[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am Indian and we often serve rice or roti/paratha with a potato/root vegetable dish. I’ve had many questions about this. [/quote]

But do you just serve your guests a potato or bowl of rice for lunch? One or the other, definitely not both, and just butter for sauce.[/quote]

This is such a good example. Giving your guest a potato is super weird. Serving up a loaded baked potato (butter, cheese, bacon, sour cream, chives, maybe some broccoli) would actually be a meal. Buttered noodles = not a meal. Pasta with some kind of sauce = meal. [/quote]

Jesus Christ lady, holy heart attack on a spud!  Give me the buttered noodles any day over the monstrosity you serve your guests: butter AND cheese AND bacon AND chives AND broccoli.[/quote]

You will eat your potato and you will like it. Otherwise never come back again![/quote]

I actually love a baked potato, but just with butter and a bit of salt. Hold the rest. [/quote]

The moral of this story is you eat what you are served. Nobody asked how you liked it.[/quote]

I think it's fine to decline the pasta, without saying "ugh, that's it?"[/quote]

Except no ugh was uttered. You added it in for dramatic flair.[/quote]

It's implied. No adult could possibly be so confused that when they are offered lunch and then handed a bowl of pasta that they honestly have to ask if this is the lunch. [/quote]

I'm sure you can find anything in a comment if you look hard enough. Maybe it was said brightly. Changes the tone completely. You made this for us?![/quote]

You're reaching so hard I'm concerned you'll hurt your back. [/quote]

If it was that big of a deal OP would have been back by now. People seem more put out about this possible slight than OP. The guest was called a "POS" by some who are way too worked up over it. Why not just give the benefit of doubt?

We can give the guest the benefit of the doubt because we weren't there. It might have been an innocent comment. However there are multiple people is this thread with poor socialization who would have been offended to be invited to a friendly lunch that did not meet their standards.[/quote]
