I can only laugh at this, cause my wife's "kosher " Aunt Frida made a big stink about our wedding not being at a kosher venue, but when we saw her at another family event, she literally bullied her way to the front of the food line to pick off all of the shrimp that were tooth picked to the pineapple palm tree centerpiece.
The opinionated old bag, like just about everyone else, seemed to make up their own rules ( yet she had no problems criticizing everyone else rules. They called up to complain about us having a vegetarian wedding ( eggplant parmesan, 3 types of different stuffed home made ravioli....). She said we should have marked that it was vegetarian on the invitation, so people knew they should eat prior to coming. Oh wait, that was her husband Uncle Morris who did that.
Anyway, that felt good getting that one off my chest,
Thanks for listening ( and sorry for venting)

Lol, I know where you are coming from, 30 years ago we had to spend a few weeks with my mil , we were between houses. My wife's brother who has been to India and practices yoga and meditation. He's a vegetarian so my mil tried to,make vegetarian meals, one day we were all out but my daughter was asleep,in the house. She woke up and walked into the kitchen to find my bil. Eating cold lamb sammys, we all laughed , they are what they are when it suits,lol. I enjoyed your story very much.
