Why don’t just put both items out next time that happens. Then you still get to serve what you made to go with your meal, and you’ve been gracious to your guest.

There’s always someone reading too much into the OP, but this is one of the funniest I’ve read in a long time. Extremely simple question and you turn it into a full drama with heroes and villains.Anonymous wrote:Anonymous wrote:Anonymous wrote:Anonymous wrote:Anonymous wrote:OP, did they ASK you to bring dessert?

There is no evidence that OP was planning to bring some awful thing, and it's clearly two days past the event. so what is the point of your comment?
The point is that OP does NOT indicate that s/he was asked to bring dessert, which implies that OP has spontaneously decided to bring dessert. Yikes, what poor behavior. It is completely rude for a guest to bring something for the meal without clearing it with the host.
No, it doesn't.
OP provided us the information we needed to answer the question which is what is a nice Italian dessert to bring to a meal. They didn't need to write a novel.
Whatever. OP is rude. If the hosts wanted OP to bring a dessert then OP would have known a lot more about the dinner. Why you're trying to defend someone so weird and exhibiting such bad behavior is beyond me.
