To think it was my curry?!

I wouldn't have food just for me when we're all sharing leftovers so yabu

A friend of mine had a christening for her grand daughter. Her son’s school friends just shovelled as much food as they could on their plates (yes, all men!) so when she came to have something they had scoffed it all. She isn’t stingy at all and she knew the food was t going to last when she saw those selfish grown men going up a number of times.

Some people can be incredibly selfish and we have a big obesity issue in the UK because people can no longer recognise a portion size.

Hmmm I think you were a bit rude in making your own separate food and not offering to share it, my expectation in this scenario would be that all leftovers would be shared so I would find it a bit odd that you did this. Was everyone else not all sharing the leftover sides, which presumably means you/DH also shared some of their leftovers? But i think he was extremely rude in asking to have it and then pushing when you said no. I also think their behaviour - letting you cook every time and leaving you to pay for things - is disgustingly rude and I wouldn't invite them back.

Possibly but astonishingly rude to keep hammering on about it after being given a reasonable explanation

The best of the food for herself?
It was leftover curry!
Did you even read the post?

The well known legal principle of "my gaff, my rules" should clearly apply here

Load of old bollocks.

A grown adult should be a hinderance to no-one in the kitchen and if he is, all you have to do is keep out of it while he does his fair share of cooking for HIS friends 🙄

So many women on here falling for strategic incompetence while the bloke puts his feet up.

You were totally entitled to your 1/2 portion of leftover curry when the guy already had a plateful of yummy leftovers. It’s not like you’d given them all scraps and cooked yourself wagyu steak! After all that hosting you were entitled to first dibs on anything, but particularly something you’d bought for yourself (and everyone else had already eaten theirs). I think it was just the opinion of that one greedy man and none of the other guests were thinking the same as him

I'd have probably told the greedy twat he's had enough of my food.

This. I can't get past this.

You paid for all their curry????

They are hideously ungrateful people but I think YABU to eat something different to your guests, I'd have kept the curry for later.

It was definitely your curry and you were right to stand your ground. What a cheek him saying "I'll have that" as if he could just claim your curry. Greedy pig! Glad you ate it in front of him!

I wouldn't be inviting them ever again! Hope they paid for the pub lunch to say thank you for all the food and drink they had consumed for their stay.

i would have stuck a fork in his hand for stealing food.

If you order food, leave it and then want to have it the next day thats fine - it is your food.

leftovers from a cooked meal might be fair game but not for food you have ordered in for yourself.

I don’t understand how people can be so rude. I also don’t understand how most people don’t get bankrupted by situations like this, given how much food costs these days!

clearly it was your curry and he’s a CF. Just don’t invite him if he can’t even show gratitude.

When it was delivered thr night before, was it served sharing style eg in the middle of the table with everyone to help themselves? Or did everyone eat their individual portions? I think it would be really odd for everyone to eat their individual portions then claim you should share yours that you'd left.

They sound rude and ungrateful

Which the other guests wouldn't have known though as presumably no-one's policing or keeping track of how much curry each person did or didn't have left over at the end of the night.
So I think it's only natural to think curry would be part of the leftovers too if someone's said "it's leftovers from yesterday today!"
(Yes, they could have contributed towards the cost but that's a separate issue)

Lovely language

Is this him?

??

Greedy cunt.
Don't invite them again, he sounds awful.

Unless all the rest of the leftovers were gravel and pig-shit, he had no business wanting yours. Half a leftover curry is hardly a lot, if EVERYONE wanted some it would be less than a spoonful each, so what was he hoping to achieve?

Definitely visit them and sit back.
If it isn't reciprocated, knock any catering on the head, and even visits.

So many women get into this bullshit habit of being skivvy to visitors.
Don't do it.
It is utterly thankless.

Of course it was your curry.
He was just a rude, ignorant, greedy pig.
You should have repeated to him, "its my curry greedy".
I would be telling my husband that.

I wouldn’t have embarrassed myself by not sharing. I take it there was plenty of other food?

I hope you told the greedy prick to fuck off

It was a bit cheeky of him to ask the first time but unbelievably rude to bring it up a second time, complete with barbed comments. The greedy pillock had a full plate of food that you had prepared for him in your house.

I doubt he has any idea how hard it is to keep preparing food for days, when I am in that situation I often don't actually enjoy the food so much myself so getting a take away would be a relief.
