Do You Get Offended When Friends Don't Like Your Cooking?

Tweet

One of my friends is so incredibly picky. I swear, she eats like a spoiled 3 year old. I can't go out to eat anywhere with her because she won't eat anything unless we go to one of those "breakfast for dinner" places. So tonight I was going to cook veggie burgers. She has eaten these before and they're really good ones. But she tells me she's had too many burgers lately. I haven't made them for her for at least a month, so I figure she means the cow kind. We just had spaghetti the other night, yet that's what she wanted again. Well, actually, first she wanted me to go through a drive thru and get her some french fries. So after I put the kabash on the french fries, I made spaghetti for us. Or I should say, I made spaghetti for me. She just wanted plain noodles. And corn. Then she got angry with me for not having dessert. At her house, she always feels bad if she didn't get a dessert I like. Our family is not a dessert family though. I'm not used to having a dessert with every meal and frankly I find that a bit disgusting. Every so often it is a nice treat, but every meal is way too much for me. I am a big eater, but not on sweets generally. I placated her with some cookies and finally she shut up about me not making her a dessert. I know she doesn't like restaurant cooking either, but I can't believe her manners. She even insulted my stove! She called it old fashioned. She has a brand new piece of junk electric stove that can't cook anything right. I have an old but awesome gas stove that is just perfect. I'm insulted that she can't just eat the food as I make it. She doesn't have any allergies and I'm not trying to get her to consume something outlandish or disgusting. Would you be offended if your friends wouldn't eat your cooking? Or if they'd only eat something extremely basic that you made, like noodles and canned corn? She even complained that I couldn't somehow make it turn into creamed corn! Argh!
