When it comes to food, most people have expectations.

Like when you say you’re gonna cook a specific recipe, your guests would, of course, expect to eat such meal.

This woman said she’s going to serve chicken pot pie, but added a few more non-traditional ingredients to it – and some people weren’t happy about it.

Read below for the full details!

AITA for telling everyone that I was serving “a chicken pot pie” for dinner when it wasn’t a plain and basic one?

So I had a few people over, and one of the easiest meals for me to make is a pot pie.

To me, a pot pie is just whatever you want inside of a crust.

This woman added a lot more ingredients in her version of pot pie.

Chicken pot pie is usually leftover veggies with a thick gravy and crust.

This time around, I had fresh roasted hatch chilies and some corn, chicken, onions, and kale.

So that’s what I put inside, and I used my savory pie crust that has some cheddar and black pepper.

But, apparently, her brother-in-law didn’t appreciate it.

When I served it, however, I guess it really annoyed my brother-in-law Frank who immediately started complaining, asking, “What the hell is this?” and “How is this a pot pie?”

I told him it’s a pot pie and explained what I said above.

He tried to argue that, “a chicken pot pie shouldn’t have anything other than chicken, gravy, peas, carrots, and maybe potatoes.”

She said sorry, but he kept on and on about it.

I said ok, well, sorry, I don’t really see food in black and white.

No one said they had any allergies or issues with food so I didn’t think it would be an issue.

He kept on scowling and pushed around the food and eventually left early.

So, now, she’s asking if she’s at fault.

Am I the jerk?

In my family, we really never kept recipes as hyper specific.

We cook and eat what we have.

I guess I figured most families were the same, and that it’s just people on the internet who make a big deal out of recipes.

Let’s see what other users have to say about this story.

This user shares their personal thoughts.

This one says a heads up would have been appropriate.

Here’s another valid point.

This user says they wouldn’t have eaten it, too.

To put it bluntly…

People were expecting the traditional pot pie.

I guess your recipe just didn’t live up to their expectations.
