Woman Freaks Out After Her Sister Calls Her Cooking 'Unhygenic' At Dinner

Some people pride themselves on their cooking skills. While we're definitely don't consider ourselves to be chefs, we definitely appreciate a good home-cooked meal. If our friends want to cook for us, we won't say no. Then again, we have pretty low standards and therefore would be impressed by any homecooked meal. Throw a simple pasta dish our way and we'll fall in love. Make it a sexy steak and we're automatically yours forever. In conclusion, while we may not be chefs, we'll eat anything you cook for us, so take notes, gentlemen of the Cheezcake universe. Even though we're suckers for homecooked meals, there are some people that simply shouldn't be in the kitchen. In today's 'Am I The A$$hole?' post, OP talked about how her sister thinks she's an amazing cook when in reality, she's actually far from it. OP's family allows her sister to believe that she's a good cook regardless because it doesn't harm anyone - until today's story. OP was invited to her sister's for dinner, but after she saw all the unhygienic activity her sister was involved in while cooking, she refused to eat anything, which prompted her sister to ask why she wasn't eating. OP decided to be honest with her sister, which is when the dinner turned dramatic.

    Font - Posted by u/Thrwra_cookingsis 6 hours ago AITA For Telling My Sister Why I Won't Eat Her Food? My (42F) sister (35F) has always prided herself on being a perfect housewife. She has two kids in middle school and stays home taking care of them and her five dogs. Her husband is the breadwinner of the family so she focuses on chores, cooking, child care, etc. The one thing my sister prides herself on the most is her cooking. She's always experimenting with new dishes and loves cooking for oth

    It sounds like OP's sister is living her best life as a housewife. It's cool that she not only takes care of the kids but also 5 dogs. That's a lot of living beings to care for, in addition to constantly experimenting with different dishes. If we have enough cash to order in that month, we will. When we don't have enough money, we make an easy sandwich or salad for ourselves. It's nice to know that there are people out there who aren't as lazy as we are. We're wondering what issues OP will bring up about the seemingly innocent housewife that is her sister.

    Font - is, not only is she not as good as she thinks, she is also extremely unhygienic. She always has her (very long) hair down, never washes her hands, lets her dogs in the kitchen, you get the point. Our family often tells her how great her cooking is but I just can't stomach it knowing how she cooks. I'll always make an excuse when invited over like I'm too busy or I'm not hungry, which usually works as I do work a very tiring job.

    We don't know what kind of family OP comes from, but it sounds like they just don't want to deal with hurting the sister's feelings. If someone's family won't be honest with them, then nobody else will. If she thinks she's such a great cook, she's gonna be in for a rude awakening when people begin to make up excuses about coming to dinner because nobody told her that she needs to improve. Plus, her unhygienic tendencies have us gagging and we see where OP's coming from. We're glad that OP was finally honest with her sister about her cooking, but she could have gone about it in a nicer way.

    Font - Last night I was invited over to dinner to celebrate her husband's promotion and it was one of the times I couldn't refuse. The kitchen and dining room are open so I could see everything she was doing from my spot at the table. Not only was her hair down and she was cooking in a very large knit sweater, I also watched her stick her fingers in pans then lick them and pick up her dachshund and carry him around the kitchen. At one point she even set the dog on the counter with the cutting bo

    Font - Obviously, I didn't eat during dinner and just tried to make small talk but of course, she noticed. When asked why I wasn't eating I tried to make excuses like I wasn't hungry before giving in and saying I was grossed out by the way she cooks. I said as calmly as I could that she was unhygienic and I didn't want to risk eating food with hair in it or that she stuck her unwashed fingers in. Well, my sister was shocked and burst into tears right then and there. She told me she worked extrem

    Font - She and her husband have been texting me all night calling me an asshole. They said I was being dramatic about the food and I really hurt her feelings, there was no hair in it and it tasted fine but how would I know because I didn't even give her a chance. I feel bad that I hurt her feelings but she asked why I wasn't eating and I told her the truth. AITA for being honest?

    Font - a-mathemagician · 6 hr. ago Partassipant [2] ESH. Some of that stuff was pretty gross, but things like having her hair down or wearing a sweater aren't. Lumping it all together makes me think you have weird standards. She should be more conscious about hygiene, but also you could have talked to her about this ages ago in a nicer way.

    Font - NiDonnaNaiz · 6 hr. ago NTA I do think you are weird about the hair and sweater thing. But, the dog in the counter, not washing hands, etc. is supper gross.

    Font - Thrwra_cookingsis OP · 5 hr. ago Perhaps I'm a bit of a germophobe but hair in my food will make me throw up. But I also know she doesn't take the best care of herself and her hair is kind of greasy so that's why. She just isn't the best with hygiene

    Font - exhaledeeply · 5 hr. ago Partassipant [1] YTA in this situation for calling her out publicly during dinner. Have some more tact. Not wanting to eat her food doesn't make you an AH but the way you handled it does. You could have said something privately while she was still cooking or if you had such a problem with it, why didn't you get up and help her? Also I was with you on the dog eating food while on the counter... But the type of sweater she was wearing? The fact her hair was down? Do

    Font - Quadruplicate · 6 hr. ago Asshole Aficionado [15] NTA. Why would you want to eat dirty food? That's disgusting. She needs to keep her pets out of the kitchen and be more clean when cooking.

    Font - Dry-Comment-6889 · 6 hr. ago ESH - you could have been a decent sister and told this years ago. Like a normal sister would do. Or gift her cooking classes, hygiene is covered at the beginning of each class. Your family as well - just tell her, choose an appropriate moment and break the news "hey, we are not comfortable eating at your home considering the cross contamination and your lack of hygiene'. Your sister definitely has lost a plot if she thinks that anything of that is ok. I have

    Font - Thrwra_cookingsis OP · 5 hr. ago She's been offered cooking classes in the past and refused because she thinks it means she's not good enough. My family knows about the way she cooks but either don't care or don't want to bring it up because they've always been comfortable eating her food. My sisters always been extremely sensitive and doesn't handle criticism well at all so no matter when or where I said it she would have taken it personally.
