My sister and I recently hosted a lunch party for a little cousin get together. We are all between 26 - 30, unmarried with no children. Three cousins told us they would have their partners with them, so that brought the total to 8 people.

We told everyone the food would be Asian themed and to let us know of any food restrictions. Nobody has any food allergies but one cousin, Zach, told us that his girlfriend Maria (27) is a vegetarian.

My sister and I made 8 dishes and put them in plates and bowls for everyone to serve themselves. For Maria, we made spinach curry and miso-glazed eggplants. There was also steamed rice to go with the food. The other dishes had some kind of meat in them.

Everyone had a great time and Maria thanked us for the food though I noticed she ate very little. She had two large helpings of the store bought ice cream we served as dessert though. Zach was not as talkative as usual but I didn’t think much of it.

Zach later called us that while we had so many meat dishes, he felt we did not accommodate Maria enough by providing only two vegetarian options. That was why she had so much ice cream because she was so hungry from not being able to eat our food. I told him if Maria was such a picky eater he could have told us what exactly she likes to eat, so we could cook exactly what pleased her, maybe a little too obvious I was being sarcastic. Zach told us our food was too exotic and we should at least provide some fries which was what everyone could eat.

I don’t believe my sister and I were AH at all. My sister, however, thought maybe Zach was right and we should have taken into account that some people don’t do well with exotic dishes. Were we AHs?
