To think it was my curry?!

She didn't want it whenever. She wanted it then. It was her bloody curry and she had every right to eat it without some cheeky entitled sod making snide comments

Urgh, greedy fucker.

I’m sorry but this is absolute nonsense and you’re just making stuff up now. We’ve had plenty of empty plates and groaning stuffed guests over Christmas. I’m also a “put all food in the middle and let people help themselves” person in general. But when everyone’s chosen a particular takeaway and one person has some leftovers from it, I’d always assume that person has first dibs on it. And they’d just got back from a pub lunch earlier - I don’t imagine the guests were hungry.

The hungry was the previous evening. When the plated were empty, and there was still food left over. To me, that indicates people were left hungry
Well rude friend doesn't seem shy in asking for more food! It sounds like he just fancied more curry, not that he was hungry.

He needs to be asked to leave .
How rude .
I bet they have cost you a fortune , do they have to come back any time soon ?

People were left hungry because they finished their curries but OP didn't finish hers?

That makes no sense at all.

I am 100% Team Curry for Breakfast (and indeed Team Dinner for Breakfast - I would much rather eat a plate of cottage pie for breakfast than a bowl of cereal).

I am on the fence because I 100% do agree with you that that was your curry and it's not on for everyone else to finish theirs and then expect to share the meal you didn't finish the next day.

However, tactically I would have anticipated that someone might ask for some and would have chosen (as I frequently do) to have my secret leftover curry for lunch whilst anyone I couldn't just tell to bugger off/stab with a fork if they came too close had gone!

So I don't think you were unreasonable to want the whole curry but I do think it was predictable that someone would have expected to get some of it because it was undoubtedly the best breakfast option and would inevitably attract dangerous breakfast envy, so the easier route would have been to save it until later.

No it really doesn’t. OP didn’t eat her curry, everyone else had their own curry plus sides. Leftover food doesn’t automatically mean people are hungry, on the contrary it means people have had enough and aren’t clamouring for more?!

All food is put in tbe middle of our dining table and you take what you want. Every single meal, from cereal, to full Sunday roasts. So I think you were the rude one. If you wanted to keep that for you, you should have kept it for a more private meal time.
If people did that when we were share out a take away I'd lose out big time.
Im a veggie. Non of my friends, family.ily or colleagues are.

When food is shared at meals like this or at buffets the meat eaters can eat everything and always go for the veggie food as well as the non veggie stuff.

My previous manager made a point of saying I had to go first to make sure I got some food when we did a Jacobs join as she noticed on several occasions there wax nothing I could have except some soggy lettuce! 😆

I think that is a massive leap, @Twinkletoes127. The OP has clearly catered very generously during her guests’ stay, so it is strange to assume she would have underfed them on curry night.

You have clearly decided the OP is an awful host - mean and ungenerous - and will refuse to have your mind changed, even if @Lolabear38 comes back and says everyone was stuffed to the gunnels after their curries.

The hungry was the previous evening. When the plated were empty, and there was still food left over. To me, that indicates people were left hungry

Would have been brilliant to give him a beaming smile and say “oh I’m so sorry, but I sneezed on it”

(would never be able to think of something like this to say at the time though!)

I was responding to pp claiming that because it was all eaten, they were still hungry.

Though he did expect some of OP's curry the next day despite not sharing his own curry.

Never invite them back.

very Greedy.

Nobody did that though

I have not read about any crying or even arguing. Pretty sure her guests did not go hungry after she had catered for them for 5 days.

No one goes hungry in my house either

Why do you think anyone was going hungry, @Twinkletoes127? @Lolabear38 had laid out a spread for everyone else - where does she say they were going hungry - or is that a conclusion you have leapt to, with no evidence?

Of course you couldn't have shared about the curry. It would have been touched by your cutlery, saliva etc unless you only served some and left the other in the packet, as opposed to serving it all into a plate and then putting what wasn't eaten in the fridge.

What on earth makes you think they were all unsatisfied and still hungry? They all ate their curries (that's what people do) but OP left some of hers. They also had side dishes so almost certainly they were not left hungry unless they have gigantic appetites.

No talk of the curry "being guarded". I expect OP just cleared the plates etc away and put HER leftover curry in the fridge.

OP obviously does share food but is not ridiculous enough to think sharing half a curry between so many is a good idea plus it was HER curry. The others all ate theirs

It isn't greedy to eat an entire curry but it is greedy to eat an entire curry and then expect someone else's curry too.

I do think it’s a little odd to serve guests various leftovers and then heat up your curry separately. I would probably have picked at the communal leftovers and then snarfed the curry once they were in bed 😆

However - I think it’s unbelievably rude for a guest to say “I’ll have that” of your plate of food and then “Lola doesn’t share food” when you have been generously hosting for 5 days!! Who does that? Hope he has looked back and is embarrassed for himself.

(and I also think they should have offered to pay for the entire takeaway as a thank you, although perhaps this is ok IF they cover everything when you go stay there).

Why do you assume that the others who ate all their curries were still hungry & unsatisfied? I nearly always finish all my food & am very rarely still hungry

Greed. So its Greed to eat an entire curry.
No, its not. Unless there had been significant starters, its not Greed. He was probably still hungry. But then, having said thst, if sharing is so awful, he could have ordered more, then hidden his leftovers for tomorrow I suppose

no one else had any left, so they were left unsatisfied and still hungry, while this curry sat being guarded.

What are you on about?
