Video: Mealtime Tantrum: This Little Animal Is 'Serious About His Food'
A young beaver threw a tantrum while eating at River Bandit Wildlife Rescue in Farmerville, Louisiana.
A home-cooked meal caused a conflict between a couple, and a psychologist shared his opinion about the situation concerning one of them.
Describing her relationship problem on a Reddit forum, a user asked if she would be wrong “if my boyfriend cooked a meal and asked me how it was and I said, 'Great.'”
She wrote: “My boyfriend made chicken breast with white rice, garlic salad and we also ordered some pickles and beets (from a jar). We sat down at the table and he asked, “How was it?” And I said, “Great, nothing special, everything tasted just right.”
It seems that this was not enough.
“He got upset,” the woman said, “and said he'd added more garlic to the salad and soy sauce to the chicken breast (we both said we couldn't taste it), and I explained that I wasn't used to making comments about food the way his family does.”
The woman noted in her post that she and her boyfriend (not pictured) had gotten into a fight after he cooked her food — and she didn't compliment him enough. Others had different opinions on the spat. (iStock)
She mentioned that in her boyfriend's family, “everyone has to say something like 'that's delicious'… 'so delicious'… 'yum'… at every meal.”
She added that her family has a different approach to food and would find such comments “a little disingenuous.”
The woman reported that her boyfriend “took his plate and went to the office to eat. I don't want to participate in a family tradition that I don't consider natural,” she added.
“I feel like I'm being forced to say words that I don't care about or believe in. It's chicken breast and white rice.”
Many Reddit users shared their thoughts on the couple's food spat in the comments section.
“If my husband cooks something new or from scratch, I say 'thank you' and tell him it's really delicious,” one user wrote.
“If my husband cooks a meal and it's something new or from scratch, I say thank you and tell him it's really good,” one user (not pictured) wrote in the thread. “Unless it's bad. I'll be honest, that's very rare.” (iStock)
She added: “Unless it's bad. I'll be honest [in that case], but it's really rare.”
Another user noted: “I share this opinion. My ex-partner loved to cook, experiment with flavors, etc. It was important to him. I don't like to cook. I don't enjoy discussing culinary nuances.”
Another commenter commented on the man mentioned in the situation: “He and his family are used to words of affirmation as a way to show love. You don't have to use flowery language, but you could say, 'It's okay babe, thanks for making dinner.'”
“If someone goes to the trouble of cooking for you, they deserve some gratitude.”
Instead, the same commenter added: “What you said was clearly disparaging.”
Another Reddit user wrote: “If someone makes you a meal and then asks about it, the first thing you should say is a compliment.”
“What you said was clearly disrespectful,” one Reddit user commented on the row between the couple (not pictured). (iStock)
