In Ireland, being this bad a host would be grounds for excommunication https://t.co/q9pQuqU26a

I’d love for your daughter to have 3, 4, 5, as many plates as she likes! As a person who lives cooking and feeding people, it’s fab when my guests ask for more. Suspect something else is going on here, a different agenda. So sorry that you’ve both been made to feel bad.

What kind of woman makes a scene about a teenager getting more food? I wonder if that extra plate was worth shaming her niece and putting a splinter in her relationships?

Having a Greek grandmother (my yiayia) meant that you weren’t allowed to leave until you had eaten at least 4 platefuls. Didn’t matter if you were hungry or not. Different culture I guess, but I’d prefer what I grew up with to whatever that family has.

If one of my sisters even dared to stop the other sister from getting a 3rd plate of brisket they would have been fistfighting in the front lawn, while my other 5 sisters watched and took bets.

The only rule is that you can go back for as many plates as you want AFTER everyone else has been served.

Maybe I’m tripping but I think this whole thing is a misdirect and that the aunt was fat-shaming a teenager (which is like 100000% more common than stinginess in this sort of context) https://t.co/0JCFjBJa9T

Cultures that discourage the sharing of food are objectively worse than cultures that encourage it. If I invite you over for dinner, you will have as many plates as you want.

in a healthy society you should be terrified that God will level your house if you even so much as look funny at a guest who takes more food https://t.co/9JAV0r8Lww

You see, for the ones of us where stuffing the guests with food till they can barely breathe is a matter of pride and duty… This is such a foreign idea that my own niece will leave my house wanting for food. https://t.co/ejDCsQSTwp
