[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]np: When relatives visit us, [b]I hate dishing out every meal for them[/b] but I do it.  Then they hurt my feelings by going out to eat, implying my meals weren't satisfying.  When we visit relatives, we have to bring all our own food because we keep kosher.  They live where there are no kosher restaurants.  It's hard.[/quote]

No offense, but I'm Jewish & I HATE kosher. [/quote]

Me too. Jewish and hate kosher food and, in fact, most traditional Ashkenazi / Eastern European food. Don't like American food much either. It's Thai / Vietnamese / other Asian foods all the way for me.

My grandparents also wildly underestimate what people will eat. We visit them twice a year. Two visits ago, they bought one small pizza (8 slices) to feed 8 people (them, 2 6' men, 2 nursing mothers, and 2 toddlers). They did serve fruit with it -- stone hard cantaloupe, my grandmother's favorite. :) It was a memorable meal. Last visit we insisted on buying 3 pizza pies rather than the 1 they planned to order. When they balked, we told them it was our treat. They couldn't argue with that and my grandfather demolished 3 pieces!
