Imagine being on a strict diet. If you were going to a family member’s house for dinner, would you bring your own food, or would you expect the host to provide enough food that you could eat?

In this story, one vegan woman has had an issue with her grandmother not providing enough vegan food for her at family dinners. She’s really not sure how to handle this situation.

Let’s read the whole story.

AITA for bringing “back up” vegan food to the family function?

I brought my own packaged vegan food to a family get together at my grandma’s house.

She does try to make sure there are vegan options for me, but sometimes she misses the mark. Example: salad with non-vegan dressing and fried potatoes. So that day I only ate fried potatos.

The food was only a “back up” in case that happened again.

Her grandma was upset.

She was pretty mad when she saw i had brought it.

I tried to explain but she said it was rude and that she always makes sure i have enough to eat. (She tries to make sure, but it doesn’t always work out)

She’s not sure what else to do.

In the past i have offered to cook some vegan dishes together.

She said no one is allowed in the kitchen with her.

I don’t know how else to deal with this, was what I did really rude?

She wasn’t trying to be rude. Did her grandmother overreact, or was she rude?

Let’s see what Reddit has to say.

A self-described “older person” weighs in.

Someone with allergies shares their opinion.

A non-vegan person thinks there’s no way to win in this situation.

At least hdf grandma tries.

Family meals can be complicated when you’re on a vegan diet.
