morning!
So, I have this group of friends. When we go camping for the weekend, one of the girls (J) always sends out a group text about 'meal combining'. She will say hey lets all combine food, and then say she is bringing something like homemade pickled goods and artichokes (this was last time). The other ladies jump on this.
I hate this. I'm the sole vegetarian, and I like to bring my own food. Which others then like the look of and take some. I can't share any of theirs as its usually meat (and the fecking pickles).
I would like to add the reason this makes me so grumpy is that J had 2 couples over to hers for the long weekend in May. She charged everyone $20 each for food for Saturday dinner, and for the sandwiches on Sunday. I had to bring my own veggie option. The others all got some rubbed beef(?) or something like that.
I don't get it. When I have people over for dinner, I don't charge them!!
But we are all going away again in 2 weeks, and I bet this message comes up again. I want to say no, my boyfriend thinks its rude.
Please, what is the best reply? All I want to bring to be honest is some veggie burgers and a shitload of prossecco. and not share. turns out I can't spell Prosecco. Proseco? anyway.
