The Future Mother-in-law draws blood.

Reading between the lines, Freddie is gay. If not now, he will be driven to it soon.

Rude or not, you'll not catch me eating anything that's festooned with onions and/or peppers. No point taking a bite as I know I won't like it, as I know that there is not a single way that onions or peppers can be cooked that I will like them. So if someone serves it, I simply pass the bowl along (if served family style) or say, "No, thank you" if being served by someone. If asked, I will say that I dislike onions and peppers. I don't consider it rude to state a preference, or lack thereof.

That's a relatively low order of rudeness, and not at all uncommon, so you will not create much of a fuss by indulging it.

Lol, this upcoming marriage isn't quite starting off overly well, now is it!?

I have tried oh so hard to like them because, well, they're in just about every fucking thing in American cooking. But I can't. I really, really can't. I like scallions okay, and leeks are one of my favorite foods, but yellow, white, and purple onions? Oh Christ. I think I just threw up a little in my mouth thinking about them.

I have a co-worker who hates onions, garlic and anything spicy. She has trouble finding things for lunch in restaurants' menus, unless she goes for schnitzel+fries or pizza.

[KRonn]

I love onions, cooked that is. I have no desire for uncooked onions such as in salads. But I cook onions mix in with a lot in other foods like beef stew, some vegetable dishes.

[MadImmortalMan]

You like scallions and leeks but not onions? 


That defies logic.

[DontSayBanana]

Sounds a bit exaggerated, but while some of the complaints may seem quaint it also does seem like the girl may be a bit of a chav. 

Not helping yourself to seconds is the only one that stands out.  I have a suspicion that the would-be mother-in-law is being a twit and that the diabetes and "announcing what you will and will not eat" are closely linked; the tone came across like "I've got nothing against diabetes, some of my best friends have diabetes..."  Actually, if she's hypoglacemic, that would also explain the asking for more food and starting early.

[DontSayBanana]

Also, I'm kind of interested to hear how many people are complaining about having been in the girl's position- my problem has always been that we're kind of like Freddie's family- the money left the family a couple generations ago, and some of the sticks in the mud haven't gotten the message yet.  Only run-in I've ever had where S' family needed to say something to me was on chewing with my mouth open (an old jaw injury from a fistfight in grade school makes it hard for me to chew easily sometimes).

Onions...

..are wonderful.

And you call yourself Mexican?

That's madness.   

But it goes to show that sometimes once someone makes up their mind no matter of logic or reason will change it.

I like onions and peppers.
