so I have a friend that is a bit competitive when it comes to food, cooking etc. She doesnt let her kids eat food that other moms made..she gets upset if her kids happen to try the other moms food and say they like it. but besides this. when she is invited to my house, she usually asks for me to reheat her food even if I just took the food out to the table. she has done this 3 times already and I find it offensive. I never say anything because as the host I find it that I need to be as accommodating as possible, but where does one draw the line? I mean last time she told me her kid had to spit out a piece of pie that my sister made for my dinner party. She always tries to make me feel as if something was not up to her standards. also, if she eats the food that I serve she never comments about how good it is...she remains quiet and if someone else compliments on my food she will never join in the conversation.
I dont know how to confront her or how to deal with this issue without creating a fight. I am invited often to her house and I would never dare tell her that something was not of my liking out of respect.
how come she doesnt feel to behave in the same polite way if she really doesnt find my food to be up to her standard?
Sounds like she has some form of obsessive compulsive disorder, your two choices are to realize this is her nature and ignore her rude behaviour or you could start to eliminate this person from future social interaction.
I usually do all the hosting/cooking for large get togethers at least once a month and we do have a few of the people you describe the constant whiners/malcontents knowitalls,usually if i get a bit irritated i tell them nicely that i put a lot of work and effort into making all the food if theres anything you dont like dont eat it.I refrain from also saying if this type of social interaction is not to your liking in the future please feel free to decline the invite.
No obviously i dont ask her to compliment my food u r right that would b weird lol i ment she never says anything at all..instead she kinda takes slow bites and is like analizing the flavors. Usually i invite alot of people for dinner and girls ask me for recipes so i know my food is not discusting. I like her as a friend but this is making me have doubts...the rudness when it comes to food.
agree with PAhippo. Her making her kids spit out food is very strange, but it may be more that she's a germaphobe more than a flavor snob and is concerned about residual pesticides, GMOs, growth hormones, etc. At any rate, she's not going to change.
Frankly I think you friend has mental issues and needs to get some help. Making her kid spit out a piece of pie is simply nuts and she's going to pass her neurosis to her kid. Her actions are far from the scope of normal I hope she realizes it before it gets more debilitating.

Had that happened to me without saying a word i would have picked up the plates of pie that were served to her and her family and taken them back to the kitchen.No seconds!
