So house guest decides to cook. Shows dh the recipe and is checking off ingredient list together. Recipe has ingredient on that dh knows I absolutely hate in food.
He obviously knows this as when I smell it and ask if it's got it in dh laughs and pretends it hasn't and house guest looks sheepish and says they were just following instructions.

Not only do I hate the taste of this stuff but it smells strong so now I am sitting in my room unable to go find something else.

Dh thinks that I'm rude no doubt.
Aibu to refuse it and sulk in my room? It's late here. I'm annoyed that he's let someone cook food I detest and I'll have to go find more food.

Don't eat it then.

I think you are being a little madam with regards the smell though. Very dramatic reaction to take yourself off to your room.

You are rude. Also possibly a 7 year old.

Yeah you're being very rude to your house guest acting the way you are. Its not their fault and you need to get over yourself quickly.

Just for context. I do a lot of the cooking and had spent time yesterday cooking a meal for everyone so this is not a case of me not ever cooking.
I went for a bath when the conspiring occurred and it feels deliberate.

Fish?
Onions?

Agree - very over-dramatic over something so minor!

Well, DP hates a certain ingredient. To the extent the smell makes him feel sick. I wouldn't cook it when he's around, or let a houseguest suggest to cook it.

This is my house guest a's i theyre staking with ua for a few weeks. The stuff stinks and to me is revolting. I'm usually fine with smells but it's an overpowering spice. Smells and tastes like you're eating dettol

Great typos.
Well yes I was in the bath and heard the ingredient being read out then something about me..then I come out and say I can smell it and it's 'oh it's not in...what are you talking about... ha ha'. I say you know how much I hate it so why would you let my guest make it?

You're over reacting
Your DH is being a dick putting it in knowing you hate it, why would he do that?

Your houseguest must feel very embarrassed and stuck in the middle.
