Yesterday was the worst dinner I have ever had. I make a rule of not socializing with coworkers, and I should not have broken it. This may take 2 posts, it was THAT bad.

6 coworkers met at someone's house yesterday under the pretense of "Irish stew". I grudgingly accepted the invitation and arrived at 2 pm (when I was told to come). I brought traditional soda bread that had to be baked first. The host made a bit of a stink about using the oven when he had other things in there, but I told him I wanted it fresh.

The stew was still cooking and the host was already drinking alcohol at this time. In the middle of a conversation with a member of the opposite sex, the host tells me, "Please, no talk about politics. PLEASE not today". I said if more people talked about politics we would be in a better country, and he got very argumentative so I just dropped it.

I was drinking apple juice that I brought over and the host kept trying to get me to have a beer. He was obviously intoxicated and starting saying how maybe I would be relaxed and "cooler" if I had some alcohol. It was pathetic, like peer pressure from a high school TV show.

Anyway, at that point I became withdrawn and went for a walk. I came back right before dinner, and that is when the fun started.

He made "Irish stew" with beef, carrots, Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, hot sauce, oregano, tomato, and various ingredients. I started telling others that proper Irish stew should only contain mutton, potato, onion, and water, and that beef, tomato, black pepper, hot sauce, and other ingredients would not be available then and therefore it was a modern stew, not Irish stew.

We started eating and someone asked me about what I had said about real Irish stew. The host looked annoyed so I told him. He turned red and told me if I didn't like it I could "get the fuck out and take my apple juice with me".

I was shocked and speechless. He left the room and his girlfriend (they are unmarried but live together) apologized. Eventually, people started talking more comfortably and he came back and was brooding and drinking more.

The stew was okay, but not authentic. I asked him if he knew that mutton was on sale at a local store and he flew into a tirade, bringing up any small error or faux pas I have ever committed at work. People were trying to calm him down, and I simply responded to him in a quiet and calm voice, and said that I appreciated his invitation and his "take" on Irish stew, but it would have been nicer if the company had been more warm.

He got up and pulled me out of the chair, stretching my sweater at the neck. He was literally screaming in my face and had his fist up in a threatening manner.

I told him I would call the cops if he hit me. He then told me to get out and take my "fucking juice and shit bread" with him. A second loaf was still in the oven with 7 minutes left, and I said I wasn't leaving until it was cooked and I could take it.

He shouted at me to leave or he would call the cops ON ME (imagine) and then threw the bread out of the oven on the ground. I was shaking with emotions and told the group that I enjoyed my time with them but I couldn't say the same about the host.

It was a horrible affair, but I decided to make authentic Irish stew today, because I was let down yesterday and had a hankering for it. It is simmering on the stove and I plan on bringing it to lunch tomorrow, one bowl for me and some for the host. It will be a subtle form of revenge as well as a way to show him that I am a better cook and am the more mature, forgiving person.

Any other stories of hosts from hell? People who cannot act respectful towards others in their own home should not have dinner parties.

At the first couple sentences I could tell it was bait. But just for others reading this, you never, ever openly criticizes someone's cooking who has invited you into their home for a meal. To do so is the utmost crude, rude and ignorant behavior. That is the lesson people should take from this.

He didn't actually openly criticize the meal, he just talked about what authentic Irish stew constitutes. He even said it tasted pretty good.

If I invited someone over and they said, "real Irish stew is mutton, onions, and water" I would say, "wow, that sounds pretty bland", think they are Assburgered, and leave it at that.

Nope, not often. People tend to enjoy my company more. I veer the conversation to them and their interests, since everyone is an expert about themselves, and be an engaged listener to their thoughts and opinions. Strokes their ego and leaves them a good impression for future meetings. I may even learn a useful thing or two.

There are people I don't intend to be anymore than shallow friends/acquaintances with, so I don't go out of my way to possibly offend them in case I need them later. It's foolish to burn bridges without considering the possibilities.

Otherwise, if I was with my colleagues or close friends/family, we go through the whole range. Rule of thumb is that if I can't joke about dead babies around them, I better stay away from religious or political topics.

It all boils down to how american politics differs from your own. If you want to paint broad strokes, go right ahead because I can tell that you either base it on our terrible media or a handful of experiences.

Most americans regarding politics are the same as everyone else's. That is, nonchalant in every day life while carrying a few vague beliefs held together by word of mouth than in depth research. And every once in a while, during elections or something else attention grabbing, we'll shout at how lousy and corrupted our politicians are while offering no real viable solution.

Only real difference is that we tend of have more of a religious flavor, sprinkling 'God' and 'Jesus' in the speeches.

I think the idea is if people had critical discourse about politics, not "hurrrrrr Party 1 out of 2 is best because my family raised me to believe this" the population would make more informed voting decisions and expect more of the government.

The way it is now, people are getting collectively fucked over but they can't focus on one topic for over one week. Dangle something shiny, like a juicy bit of gossip or affair or sports event, and they forget all.

Sorry, but this is not correct. American politics is ultra-polarized, hijacked by lobbyists, corrupt, and pseudo-religious.

Most countries have these aspects in their political system, but not to this extreme.

I am Canadian and our political system is becoming more polarized, but we are still VERY far from that of our southern neighbours.

I watched election ads for some mayoral race when I was in the US once and it was vicious. And they were flanked by Bell commercials using "support the troops" as a sales pitch and pharmaceutical and health insurance commercials.

Leave your country for an extended amount of time. You'll see things are NOT the same everywhere.

Good show, my kind sir! No need to tolerate the inexperience and foolishness of mere commonfolk. Just by the thought of lowering yourself to a simple-minded plebeian, who can not tell a rudimentary Irish Stew, is preposterous. I support you, when you told that ruffian whatfor and how dare he fool innosent colleaues with a meal that is not fully and completely authentic.

what do you mean of course?

Soda bread is always fucking white. You cannot have authentic wholemeal soda bread, friendo.
Of course it could be true that my granny, everyone else around me and Ormo have all been lying to me my whole life. I wouldn't know, I've never left Ireland. Born and raised here, and I've never even heard of wholemeal soda bread.

Do you mean wheaten? That's entirely different, but it would go with the stew much better. Normally that what we'll eat with stew, not soda.

You're clearly not the expert you think you are on Irish traditional fare, and it enrages me that you'd insult a host in such a way, which is far less Irish than the host's take on the fucking stew.

>> No.4855741

>>4855691
Maybe in some circles. Among my crowd (middle aged urban dwellers who like to cook) dinner parties are an excuse to get together and socialize while the host (hopefully) gets to show off their cooking chops. Yeah, sometimes those with the best places for entertaining aren't the best cooks, or the best cooks have less than perfect apartments. But throw enough wine into the equation and nobody minds. It's a great way to socialize when you've aged out of the bar scene and your friends have different enough income levels that you could never agree on a restaurant.

It's also easy for me to host, since I raised two sons who frequently brought friends over for dinner (and still do). Even though I moved to Brooklyn my Manhattan friends still make the trek when I throw a dinner party. That would never have happened a decade or two ago.
