For my uncle's 70th birthday dinner, one of his cousins organized this weird as gently caress dinner thing where you had to order each course off a menu, except the 'menu' was a list of themed items like "adult diaper", "liver spots", "crutches", etc. For each item you ordered for a given course, they'd serve you a corresponding dinner item (memorably, "adult diaper" corresponded to a portion of beef lasagna. Gross.) There was no way to know what you were actually going to get, you just had to write in a guess and hope for the best. What makes it even more hosed up is that things like silverware and napkins were included in this little game, so you could be served lasagna but no utensils. Also, they cleared away your setting after each course, so if you didn't want to eat lasagna with your hands, you couldn't wait until you got a fork later, it'd just be gone. The cherry on top of this sundae is that all the guests who showed up on time had to go through this ordeal, but the one guy who showed up late got a normal plate fixed up for him, no fuss no muss. It was utter bullshit, and my wife still brings it up whenever this relative may potentially be at an event that we're going to.

My Iranian neighbors who I'd never really spoken to invited me over for dinner. I'd never had arab food and I was excited. They were real assholes though and gave me a bunch of burnt rice. loving assholes. This was shortly after 9/11 so tensions were high.

A friend’s aunt served us fries and toasted wonderbread, with brown gravy from a packet. Probably the weirdest meal I’ve had, it all turned into gravy flavoured mush. We had been snowboarding all day though so we ate every goddamn bit.

This is loving hilarious, I bet your cousin had a lot of fun inflicting this game on the family. On a similiar note, I was at a fantasy/sci-if themed burger joint where you could roll a bunch of dice to decide what burger you got. They had a ton of different meats, veggie options, buns, the works. My random burger? Portobello mushroom patty with mayo and fried mushrooms. That was it.

Visiting a relative on the other side of the country and for entree was served two of the biggest cobs of corn I've ever seen. But the twist was that there was no entree. The corn was the main the entire time!

When I was a kid, I went over to a friend’s house for dinner that was simple Kraft mac & cheese. There was no milk or butter obviously added to mix the cheese in; it was just the powder mixed in with the al dente macaroni. Also, they added salt. Completely inedible to me.

Speleothing posted:Went to a wedding, reception was at a golf course, seemed nice but not outlandish. Food options on the invite were Beef, Chicken, or Veggie. I am a pescataeian, so I got the veggies. The veggie entree was roasted carrots and hummus. Just absolutely insulting to vegetarians.

I have not tried this particular combination, but I don't think the sweetness of roasted carrots would pair well with hummus. its a super low effort "idk what the gently caress vegetarian types eat so I'm going to slap two things together and call it a day" kind of plate. why no pita or naan bread or something with the hummus? why only one kind of vegetable?

I mean it is absolutely a "don't go to a hardware store to buy milk" situation but it's fair to recognize that the milk you get from a hardware store is pretty bad.

A low-effort snack of mine is dipping baby carrots in hummus. Dunno how roasted carrots would pair with hummus, but I’m sure there’s not much difference

"Understand you are going to get an insultingly bad meal if you are veg at a country club" is my stance. I mean, unless you are rich and influential enough to join as a vegetarian member and reshape their menu.

Depending on how roasted the carrots are I can imagine a gnarly melange of mush on mush.

The most egregious thing I've been served is nothing. Had to stay the night at my weird religious aunts house because we were attending a family wedding in their weird religious small town. They went out and got some Amish noodles and chicken from a local takeaway and brought us nothing. They sat down at the table in front of us and ate their individual servings and offered us nothing and by the time we realised what was happening and that they had just excluded us from dinner, it was too late. Small town and everything was closed. We had to drive like 10 miles to McDonald's. It was bizarre. While part of me realizes we had wrongly assumed they would feed us, and that that's on us, my own mother had hosted them at ours for nearly every single holiday for the last 10 years. She would cook for days and they typically contributed nothing. You think they couldve dropped the 15 bucks on a few more bowls of cheap noodles.

That's an advertised feature of vitamixes, never understood why hearing damage is preferable to turning on a stove though. I guess you can blend and soupinate at the same time?

I was hanging out with a friend and he asked if I wanted to grill some steaks. So we put some strips on the grill but he didnt season them at all, not even with salt and pepper, and as he served them I asked "Not even a little salt...?" and he replied that he liked the taste of the meat.

Actually that reminded me, my best friend in part of highschool was Vietnamese and his parents just never had food so if I'd stay over at either of their houses (they were divorced) there was just a big basket full of rice we would eat out of. I don't know how Tim didn't die because there was no food anywhere. I'd come home after a weekend with him and I'd lose like 5 lbs and I only weighed like 135lbs at the time

In elementary school I stayed the night at a friend's house. Dinner was spaghetti with boiled hot dogs, chopped, and topped with ketchup. Dessert was a slice of buttered wonder bread sprinkled with sugar. Turns out his family was poor so this was a pretty normal dinner for them. Seemed strange to me at the time.

A sandwich made of tatar sauce, a thick slice of brick cheese (probably velveeta) on lovely crumbly white bread. I ate too slowly because it was gross af and ended with a wet Velveeta brick with some bread crumbs and globs attached. Deki fucked around with this message at 05:36 on Jun 11, 2022 |
