‘Just the meat for me please’ Sunday Lunch issue ’

Completely off topic but i remember in keto days everyone's breath was awful. Don't get too close OP 😄

To be fair, it might be the neice making these demands on his behalf and he would be mortified if he knew. A certain type of woman take great pleasure in giving penis portions and insisting on lots of meat for their manly man.

I have what most people would consider a strange diet. When I am in someone else's house I eat what I am given. I make no demands. It is rude.

That’s a good point.

In most other circumstances I think people would consider someone eating a whole chicken plus extra meat to be binge eating. But when it’s a gym-going male, it’s suddenly acceptable to some?

It’s the words “he’ll pile his plate high” isn’t it? Not “can he have a bit extra meat/ will there be enough”, not waiting to be offered or “he’ll just have some meat” but the entitlement that this man can choose to pile his plate high without thinking of others.

Your niece is clearly trying hard to please him. But you don’t have to. He should eat what is put in front of him and like it

I have several really inconvenient dietary restrictions and am always happy to eat part of a meal. Expecting a whole chicken for one person in a cost of living crisis is rude, whoever is expecting it.

I would find it really off putting watching someone eat just a plate of meat. I also think it is a complete liberty to expect to eat this way in someone else’s home. If you’re that fussy (and expensive) you should decline meal invitations.

I’d be more concerned about the cost. When I do a roast, we have the leftovers the next day. It’s my free meal! So I wouldn’t be happy with someone else hoovering up all the meat. It’s not exactly cheap is it?!

I'd rescind the invitation. I'm happy to accommodate guests, including cooking meat even though I'm vegetarian but I haven't got time for this bullshit. If he can bring his own avocado and mayonnaise he can bring his own bloody chicken. I'm actually laughing my head off at how crazy people are these days.

People like that are uncouth and dragged up.
Yanbu to raise your eyeballs at your sister and the twat shd is with.

If he's that bloody obsessed that he can't navigate one meal, he should eat beforehand.

I would be mortified at a family member thinking this is even mildly acceptable to raise with me when I am hosting.

Basic manners to turn up, eat, be appreciative and leave.

You are not a restaurant.

What a CF Is he human or feline? Does he want it served raw? 😆😆

Is ‘on a cut’ a new term for disordered eating and restrictive dieting, but made to sound like something more manly?

We have family tea every week and people add in their suggestions
. Don't care what we have as long as it isn't always me that decides..
One Saturday ds announced a quick visit over lunchtime and could he have fish fingers.. He left quite unsatisfied that he wasn't having the box of 20 to himself. I said if he wanted unearthly sized portions he should have brought his own.

So ime a normal portion is acceptable.. Greedy fuckers need bring their own.

Cant get over the entitlement and cheekiness of this dude..what on earth..? Why cant he just eat a protein breakfast after his gym bunnying and then eat whatever he wants when home. I cannot ever imagine demanding expensive lunch items from someone. Is this a thing now ?

I think it's cheeky. Meat is expensive! If you're that strict take your own food to other peoples houses. And it's not the same as people who genuinely cannot eat something.

Is this her BF 😍😍😍

I hate these sort of situations. My ggm and gm were absolute sticklers for etiquette and good manners, and my dm passed that on in her breast milk! I feel the pressure to be a good hostess, but it makes me extra sensitive to rude guests, and, frankly, more than a bit resentful.

I think it’s great you’ve been able to have a sensible and forthright exchange with your dsis. Really well done.

It’s staggeringly rude to come to lunch and expect to eat an excessive amount of the most expensive food. Eat a normal portion, more if pressed, and fill up on the way there or home, but you don’t inflict your predilections on the host.

Nor do you bring food that requires cooking or further preparation to a meal someone else is catering.

He’ll just eat the meat, is fine. He’ll pile his plate high with meat is not fine. It’s for the host to say, we’ll pile his plate high then, or enquire if there’s something else he might enjoy as a side.

I would bear in mind that it’s your dsis that’s being rude in this situation. The bf might have better manners, and she might just be reflecting what has become normal when she hosts him, rather than what he automatically expects.

I know my sense of decorum is only a hundred years or so out of date. It’s more of a disability than anything else in the 21st century 🤣

What will your boys do to have a field day? Take the piss?

That young man is going to get kidney disease later on in life.

What about the other guests? Do they get extra whatevertheywant? Extra trifle?

I think the key is, though, to make sure you serve people’s meat on their plates, and only the sides are self service.

You can put some extra drumsticks in the oven for him and whoever else wants, and add this to the self service bit of the meal so that he can put these on his plate instead of potatoes etc, but you need to ensure everyone else gets their fair share of the main joints.

If I ate only meat i wouldn't expect someone to cook more for me.

Surely he could manage to just have a normal portion of meat for one meal in his life.

Great minds 😂😂😂
