Recently my sister and my BIL hosted a small pot luck. Attendees were our siblings and one SIL. Everyone was encouraged to bring a dish. Nobody has any food allergies and nobody is bound by any religious restrictions.

I brought chicken curry. My secret ingredient was dark chocolate to thicken and add richness to the sauce. Unfortunately, halfway into the party I had a work emergency I had to attend right then, so I left. By the time I was finished it was very late and everyone already left the party and everything seemed to be going OK.

Two days after the party, my sister called me, upset, asking me what things I put in my curry. As it turned out, my BIL’s brother Tim stopped by toward the end of the party. He hadn’t eaten so my sister and BIL invited him in for a bite. Tim had my curry and said he liked it so much that my sister packed him some to take back home. Then his girlfriend (not living together but has a key to his place) went through his fridge, heated some curry for herself, and unknowingly fed the curry to her dog, resulting in vomiting. They took the dog to the vet and the dog is fine now.

When my sister learned that I put chocolate in my curry, she said I should have let her know such a fact. I told her everyone at the party could have chocolate just fine, and anybody with allergies or planning to feed a pet needed to check for ingredients in unknown food before eating/feeding their pet said food. My sister said people don’t expect chocolate in their curry and therefore I should have told her to prevent something like this from happening. AITA?
