Yay taco's/taco salad for dinner! everyone loves that. I went shopping and grabbed everything needed and some refriend beans because some people in the house like it. Im done cooking and my bfs mom comes in and she like oh did you get refriend beans I said yup about to put them on now...shes like oh there not old elpasso are they,I said no there taco bell brand shes like oh is thaat what you like? I said i just picked up cans of refriend beans,I dont like a spacific brand.shes like well we do.... what the f@*ck! what ever happend to being appreciative?? I just cooked you dinner and your ganna complain about the brand of refried beans! When you go to someone house or they come to you and cook for you ,and theres something you dont like,what would you do?? If someone cooked me dinner and there was something I did not like I would simply skip over that food and not eat it but stil appreciate what they did for me..I would thank them and later in a nice way suggest another brand to try... I definatly would not be rude about! geez.

Some people just want to have things their way. They want everything their way, right down to the brand of things. Honestly, it's food. If you are hungry, then you should care what kind of brand it is.

I know right..Somethings are a waste of money if you buy the cheaper brand I understand that but I didnt get an off brand! Never know what you got untill you aint got it any more...

if your story had been about any other guests - i would be upset as well.. but you mentioned it was your bf's mom - which i would take as equivalent as a mom-in-law - i am sorry... you may not understand this.. but this is pretty normal for our culture - between the mom-in-law and the daughter-in-law.. logic being - the moms are just telling us the things they (the husband's family) appreciate because we are now part of that family - and therefore should know 'these things'... again - THIS IS ACCEPTABLE IN OUR CULTURE - so i am NOT SAYING that you should NOT BE UPSET about what happened to you .. if it had been some other guests complaining, or telling me what brand of food to use in my cooking - i would be fuming as well.. you dont want to eat the food i prepared for you - you are free not to do so.. i dont mind - more of the food to go around then, dont you agree ?

Sounds like my husband! He is a Name Brand only person.. and even then...he will have stupid reasons why one is better than the other. He insisted that htis one peanut butter stating "natural" was more healthy than Jif. Once home, I compared the labels and showed him that they were the same except the "natural" one had 10 more calories than Jif and .5 more fat than Jif and had Palm oil, while Jif had Hydrogenated oil...basically the same thing...both bad for you. Of course he had a come back with "that wasn't the brand he thought he was getting. It was a different "natural", he just picked up the wrong one!!! yeah, right. Beans are beans tho! I have tried all kinds and find on difference. I do only see that Rosarita no fat traditional ones do have less oils in it.

hi mikeswifey well for o ne thing I s ure would not complain and tell them the brand I like, I appreciate being asked to someones home for a home cooked meal and if I do not like so mething I eat what I can and just say if asked "oh everything was so delicious I am stuffed. what a lovely dinner." I do not like to be rude to any one who has gone to that much trouble for me.,That was damned rude of your bf's mom to say that.i If there is anything i do not like I do not make an issue of it., thats not my place and its very rude. I do appreciate being asked to someone's home for a meal and I try to have good manners too.

It was nice of you to cook, but she probably just feels so comfortable with you that she feels like she can talk to you like you are her daughter. I mean, I don't know her, but YOU do, so do you think she would have acted like that had she been at some RANDOM person's house instead of at your house?? I mean, she is kind of like your family so...you know how family is.
