[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We used to get invited to day parties at someone's vacation home.  Usually there were 4-5 families, and everyone brought their own food.  Of course, kids always wanted to eat what the other families brought.  I was a kid, and it seemed to me that parents or their nannies made a game out of catching random kids eating "their" food.  They would deal harshly with the culprit, of course out of earshot of the kid's parents. [/quote]

[b]This is just truly bizarre[/b]. Were you members of some weird cult?

I guess you learn something new every day. On this thread I’ve learned that there is a subculture of Americans with really neurotic views of food and hospitality.[/quote]

[b]You [/b]sound truly bizarre.  How's your reading comprehension?[/quote]

DP- I agree- it sounds very weird to have day parties where everyone was required to bring their own food. Especially at vacation homes chock full of nannies. You already said it was not in the US. Care to elaborate? We are all curious. In the US we associate vacation homes and nannies with wealth. Are these "vacation" homes like in Russia and Scandanavia, which are sometimes just rustic seasonal shacks? Were the "nannies" neighbor girls?[/quote]

Yeah, this seems like it might be some other country. I’ve never heard of someone in the US or Canada inviting people to their house, but telling them to bring their own food. The closest thing would be a potluck, where everyone shares food. It’s just basic hospitality to provide your guests food. [/quote]
