Am I cooking shit or being stingy??

The food is not low quality- it’s just healthy!

I haven’t read your whole post but only needed to see that you have given them a holiday at no cost to them and are providing and cooking all the food. How can you even think you are in the wrong here?
It is definitely them rather than you!

I am not sure what you are trying to do?

Do you want the OP to invite you so you can show her how to prepare fatty food for her ridiculous guests?😂

It's Breakfast, with kids around they'll likely have their mid-morning snack 2 hours later, and lunch just a few hours after breakfast anyway. It's so not a big deal, they're on holiday not on a food-tasting fry up marathon.

She’s not hosting!! She is on holiday.

I wouldn't dream of inviting someone away, where I am planning to cook meals in a lovely kitchen, and then offer them low quality food

I disagree. Food you serve to others has to be of good quality.

Bil is acting like he's doing OP a favour by being there 😅
How entitled to sit there not contributing a penny, expecting you to pay for food and cook said food, and THEN have the gall to COMPLAIN.
Op you shouldn't be apologising to them for your food or hosting. They are unbelievably rude and entitled. Not sure why your DH doesn't have your back, why is he letting another man criticise you like that??

Cook for you and your lovely ds only.

Theres no need to be nasty.

Overweight or not, my guests are happy, fed and welcomed by a warm host

I don’t think so. They’re already getting a free holiday and OP has been gracious enough to also provide free food. I’d be over the moon if someone offered me a treat like this, embarrassed to accept if anything. The way they are treating OP is abysmal. The dad sounds like Jay from The Inbetweeners’ dad. Obnoxious as fuck.

If the op purposefully got a place with a big kitchen, and is planning to bake, shes hosting!

And cereals and yogurt are added to the list - for those so precious they cant manage a fry up 🙄

Its hardly enough to label it repulsive, I assume they didn't mean chunks of gristle floating around but a reasonably high fat content of meat which let's be honest provides flavour and keeps the meat tender.

Regardless agree that OP isnt hosting these people and she can serve whatever level om the fatty/watery bolognese scale she likes

It all depends on portion size and the quality of the cooking.

Exceptionally rude to comment on any food someone has made for you unless it’s your partner / a very close friend and the food is atrocious (I’m thinking Bridget Jones blue soup style!) so you can joke about it… Your food sounds completely normal for British people, I eat that for breakfast most days.

You must be very bored or have very little guests if you genuinely believe it's normal to faff around so much with breakfast every time you are hosting people, or they are hosting you 😂

Not one yogurt, no cereal, bit grim
at least there are fruits I suppose.

Your food sounds lovely. They sound rude. It’s a free holiday. It’s rude they haven’t contributed eg they could have offered to bring pastries for breakfast or contribute to food kitty after all they would need a weekly shop at home.
I suspect they have a very different diet to you so can’t comprehend no white toastie loaf S that’s a staple in their house.
They also probably had different expectations of holiday ‘treat’ food eg pastries, fry up or bacon butties. Pizza, fish & chips.
I’d say what you a cooking they are welcome to do their own thing if it doesn’t suit.

a) It wasn't the first night
b) Kindly inviting someone who can't afford a holiday to share your holiday home at no cost to them does not make you their 'host'

I dont really know what to say, i am genuine 😕

Ive seen watery bolognese- which is what you get when you pad it out with mushrooms and veg

For your guests, who you know like a bit of food!

They truly sound like a bag of dicks (including your husband).

I do think there should have a been a discussion about food beforehand though. Were you expecting them to chip in or was it agreed you would also cover all food as well? Did you ask them what sort of things they like to eat for meals or just hope they would eat the same things in the same amounts as you? Did you bring extra food to accommodate them or are you stretching out what you have?

If I were to be honest, the portions would be too small for our family, and the breakfast wouldn't go down well as we tend to have a more substantial and savoury meal.

That being said, if you were footing the bill for our holiday, and providing and cooking the food, we would be eternally grateful and telling you it's the best damn food we ever had.

I assume if they had stayed at home they would have had to buy food for themselves so they should use that money to buy some food. They shouldn't have spunked it all away on crap and then complained about not having enough money to keep doing food shops.

I wouldn't want to cook again for the ungrateful arseholes either.

Given that the sister and BIL are getting free accommodation, I think if anyone should be going out with long shopping lists it's them, not OP.

It sounds like they have bigger appetites than you generally and prob have less healthy options day to day.

The bigger issue I expect is they’re expecting “holiday food” and you’re providing normal home cooked meal. On holiday some people expect treats, big portions, BBQ, etc.

OP are either or your sister or bil good cooks. Could you and them do a big shop and they cook for all of you?

You BAKE on holiday??!

She invited them on holiday - that doesn’t mean she has to cook a variety of meals three times a day.

I disagree that if you invite people on holiday with you you are suddenly ‘hosting’ them. That’s 7 people and three meals per day. Not a great holiday. Why can’t everyone muck in? Why can’t the husbands cook? Why can’t her sister pop to the supermarket?

It’s a family holiday that the OP has already paid for them. They are getting a free holiday!

No, be a better host, at least for the first night!

I wouldnt dare insult someone but I do see why theyre not fans of the food offered

And I also ask about the background to this, as there seems to be a backstory
