>TFW Sister-in-law is bringing YOUR signature dish to a family function
At first I was annoyed that it's a direct challenge to me.
Then I felt kind of sad for her because I know as soon as she's out of earshot everyone will tell me how much better mine is.
Then I got even more mad because she could at least have made RED Enchiladas instead of the green like I always make. But no.

Anyone else have food/family related rage issues?

Imagine another man coming to your house, drinking your beer, cooking on your grill, and serving meat to everyone.

[Anonymous No.5113095]

Maybe she wants to feel accepted and just knows that your family loves green enchiladas. Maybe she doesn't know it's your "signature dish," just something that always shows up at family functions that goes over really well.

[Anonymous No.5113104]

>>5113095
She's been with my bro like 8 years, she's accepted just fine. She knows, she fucking knows, I make them all the time, she's been to my home where I've made them, and my moms house is always abuz for like 3 days after I make them for my mom and dad, they get really excited and talk about them and hoard them.

You're the one showing signs of autism.

OP just be blunt about it, ask her directly in front of whoever you want to like your dish the best, why she stole your meal. Unless the other guy is right and you are autistic it shouldn't be hard to make it jovial. Bitches will still go home and their anger will simmer while everyone else looks no further into it.

A cuckold? Really? Is this a cultural thing or do you have some serious personal insecurities?
Where I come from a barbecue is a social event where the host provides bread, salads and drinks and the guests all chip in by bringing some of their own meats. Then everyone cooks their own meat on the provided grills just the way they want it. That way everyone has something they like and the host gets to socialise and relax as well. Using your grill as your holy altar from which your preach the gospel of the providing man to your flock sounds fun too though.

[Anonymous No.5113159]

In our house the man's grill IS his holy altar where he does good works. Our guests bring the beer and salad and feast upon the meat and bread we provide as nourishment to their hearts, bellies, and souls.

I'd just talk to them like a normal person.

I've never understood the whole, secret family recipe bullshit. And no, no one ever with held a recipe from me. I'd ask for said recipe and they'd give it to me. Because it's food and there's nothing secret about it. Like, what??

you've never complained about someone elses cooking behind their back? Not even in a /ck/ Thread?

>>5113216
You don't see how this could bug me? You can't even fathom why anyone would be irritated by this? I've never had a problem with her at all, we don't really have a lot of drama in my family.
>>5113225
I'm free with my recipes, anyone can make them, also I doubt he'll be using my recipe, I just think it's strange and borderline aggressive to show up at my moms house with a dish that I'm knowing for making, it's inevitable that they will be compared.

Like if you throw a dinner party and make chicken cordon bleu or whatever, and then the next week your friend throws a dinner party and makes the exact same dish, and invites the same friends, you guys wouldn't find that strange?

I don't have any grudge about her, she's great. And she's not some weird social anxiety loser trying to win my affections, she's not trying to "reach out to me."

I love going over to my friend's houses and eating their food. It's fucking tasty.

Its enchiladas. Anyone can make that. Why are you pissed about it? And no I wouldn't find that strange! I'd be like, whatever, that person loves enchiladas as much as I do, I can't wait to eat fucking enchiladas that I didn't even have to make.

I don't see the problem here.

This is OP's favorite dish to make and his family loves it too. It's perfectly reasonable to view this as an encroachment upon that.

It would be different if it was a common item that was unavoidable to repeat, but enchiladas in green sauce is pretty specific.

I don't buy that this person doesn't know what they are doing. This is a power move. Though I wouldn't understand everybody on this board to understand the nuances of social/power dynamics.

I mentioned this before, and you are correct.


Anyway, just got back from the birthday dinner (I tried to delete this thread this morning, but it wouldn't let me). Her enchiladas were pretty good, but a solid two points below mine.

She put canned black beans inside them, which would have been fine maybe if they had been cooked separately first, but as it was they were a little dry, And then she cooked rice and put that inside the enchiladas too, I don't know if she even seasoned the rice, but it wasn't spanish rice, and it didn't add anything to the dish, I didn't really understand the point. But It was better than I thought it would be.

Everything went really well, I just still find the whole thing very odd.

[Anonymous No.5115387]

>>5114194
also that's pretty fucked up you would say that about my brother just because you don't like me, OP. My brother is a pretty great guy.

Also, they're not even married, actually, but they've been together so long they might as well be, sister-in-law is more appropriate to the situation than "Brother's girlfriend" especially since she is basically my kid's aunt.

I normally don't have crazy-bitch emotions, but this was an exception. Once I got there it wasn't a big deal, it just felt kind of weird. I texted my craziest bitchiest friend to ask what she thought and she totally understood, at least someone does.

>Anyone else have food/family related rage issues?

Good lord, where do I start. Okay, let's start with this...my sister is a pushy, overbearing, narcissistic bitch. That's not opinion, it's fact. She's been that way since we were children. Even my relatives have mentioned it. Anyway.
SO, every family dinner, she relegates me to the menial chores, like setting the table, or getting out the napkins, even though I used to be an actual chef. I can cook circles around her. I've won awards for my cooking. But every family fucking dinner, she rushes around trying way too hard to help my mom cook, and won't let me do anything but the menial shit WHILE telling me what to do, bossing me around, and telling me I'm setting the table wrong and all that shit. Finally, I got sick of it, and decided to just sit out with the rest of the family and let her take over everything, since that's obviously what she wanted. Then, she went around behind my back and bitched to everyone that all I did was sit on my ass and not do anything to help.
tl;dr she's a cunt.

>You don't see how this could bug me? You can't even fathom why anyone would be irritated by this?

It's one thing to be slightly irritated that your sister-in-law brought your signature dish, but your reaction is disproportionate.

My family flips a shit over the sweet tea I make. When I see my sister trying to make it, bully for her. It means I don't have to make the tea (which I actually hate).

My family also flips a shit when I make peanut butter cookies. Sometimes my sister helps me make them and we talk and rag on people and we bond while we're doing it. Then sometimes my sister will come upstairs and be like, "Hey, I made peanut butter cookies," and I will say, "Man you should have made me come downstairs so I could help," because I enjoy making them.

You're a cunt. Come back when you've cured your autism.
