[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am the PP, and I think sandwiches would be equally fine, probably with the same sides (e.g. cucumbers and cutie oranges)

Or grilled cheese, or quick quesadillas, or chick fil a dupe nuggets or veggies and hummus, or frozen pizza.  [/quote]

Okay, so I'm judging your nuggets and frozen pizza a lot harder than a bowl of pasta. This just goes to show that what people think is "better" is completely subjective.

OP, please finagle an impromptu lunch invite to your guest's house next time, and see what she serves you. Feel free to raise your eyebrows expressively and give her a long, appraising look before you silently tuck into whatever the F she dishes out. [/quote]

But why judge that's so rude! See how easy it is? But if you prefer your friends to blow smoke up your not knowing how to cook ass, then that is a personal choice.[/quote]

It's not rude to judge, only to make apparent that the judging is happening.

Look, if every meal must optimize your protein/fat/carb ratios, then you cannnot accept random invitations to dine. You must decline graciously and go home to feed yourself. If you accept an invitation to dine, you must steel yourself to the fact that the offering is completely out of your control and to be a gracious guest you must eat what is placed before you without comment (unless complimentary), unless you have clearly told the host of your vegetarianism/nut allergy/other well-known, not made up dietary restriction. Christ, I've known this since I was 7, when I choked down tuna casserole at my friend's house even though I really wasn't fond of it. The fact that adults today cannot handle this and would rather let their preferences be rudely known shows a real drop in social etiquette. I think it comes from the rise of people eating out so much, where they get to choose exactly what they want. People are not used to eating at other people's houses anymore and it shows. [/quote]

People are also clearly not used to cooking for others. Normally you ask what people like and try to accommodate. Do your kids like pasta? Would have been a good starting point.[/quote]

The kid ate the pasta. So where's the problem?[/quote]
