When it comes to serving food to guests, it’s hard to please everyone. But what if your guests accuse you of serving dog food? That’s what happened to me when I cooked a traditional recipe for my housewarming party. My wife’s brother’s girlfriend was not a fan of the beef cheeks and tongue I served and accused me of serving dog food. While everyone else enjoyed the meal, she took to Facebook to call me names and insult my upbringing. Was I in the wrong for serving traditional food? Or was she being ridiculous? Let’s discuss.
