Imagine being criticized every time you bring a meal to a family dinner.

In this story, every holiday meal turns into a comedy roast at one sister’s expense, with her dishes always the punchline.

This year, the critic suddenly asked for her sibling’s famous casserole recipe—claiming her coworkers had specifically requested it.

Should she give her sister the recipe or keep it to herself? Let’s read the whole story to decide.

AITA for refusing to give my sister the “family recipe” because she always criticizes my cooking?

Now she’s telling everyone I’m selfish..

Am I a jerk?

Now the family is split on whether protecting the recipe was justified or just plain petty—and Reddit is serving up its verdict.

This person has some petty jokes.
