“AITA For Forcing My Sister To Make Dinner After She Poured Maple Syrup Into My Pasta?”

“AITA For Forcing My Sister To Make Dinner After She Poured Maple Syrup Into My Pasta?”

ADVERTISEMENT

Mankind has not yet come to a consensus about culinary talent – is the ability to cook well innate, or can it be learned? Therefore, for every Jamie Oliver with his video tutorials, there will always be some analogue of Professor Slughorn from the Harry Potter books, claiming something like “the talent for potions is definitely inherited.”

But there is one thing, perhaps, no one doubts – the amazing ability of some people to spoil literally any dish more complicated than a sandwich, to be a phantom kitchen menace, is absolutely impossible to learn. Moreover, heredity does not matter here either – after all, it sometimes happens that one of the closest relatives is a really outstanding chef, while another is a walking culinary disaster.

Here is a great example that clearly proves this – a wonderful post in the AITA Reddit community, which racked up 4.8K upvotes and more than 870 different comments in just a few days. Cooking stories are always very interesting, and this one is also quite funny. So let’s get to reading and enjoying it!

More info: Reddit

The Original Poster hosted a family gathering and decided to cook something delicious for her relatives

The Original Poster says that she recently hosted a family gathering and being a good hostess, she decided to cook a lot of different delicious meals for her relatives. While the woman was cooking, her older sister arrived, much earlier than the rest of the guests. After talking for a while, the sister offered the OP her help in the kitchen.

The OP’s sister volunteered to help her, ended up pouring maple syrup onto pasta and meatballs

The OP was well aware that, unlike herself, her sister was not endowed with special culinary talents, but she was very persistent, promising to minimally interfere in the process, and at least just not be a burden. Imagine the OP’s shock, when, after leaving the kitchen for some time and then returning, she noticed a strange smell coming from the pasta and meatballs she had already cooked!

Yes, it turned out that while the hostess was outside the kitchen, the sister managed not only to spoil everything, but approached this very creatively. The woman took the maple syrup and poured it generously onto both pasta and meatballs. After the OP’s initial shock wore off, she asked her sister why she thought spaghetti, and especially meatballs, needed such an out-of-the-ordinary ingredient as maple syrup.

Moreover, the hapless cook claimed that maple syrup perfectly matches with meat and spaghetti

The sister’s reasoning was absolutely deadly. So, according to the hapless cook, pasta is a carb and is made from wheat, like, for example, pancakes. And what is the best and probably the most delicious addition to pancakes? That’s right, it’s maple syrup!

Okay, we seem to have sorted out the pasta – but why add syrup to the meatballs? As it turns out, the OP’s sister also had an answer for that – turns out meatballs are red meat, just like bacon, so when combined with maple syrup, it also looks quite normal and would taste good.

When asked to cook something to take the place of the spoiled dishes, the woman made some disgusting kind of a sandwich

ADVERTISEMENT

To give the OP credit, she didn’t force her sister to eat what she did herself. Instead, she simply asked the poor cook to make something others could have instead of the spoiled dishes. What did the sister do? That’s right – she took a piece of bread, peeled off the crusts, spooned on some coleslaw, pre-made by the OP, and called it the proud word “sandwich”.

Image credits: u/Happy_Cheescake_552

The OP admits that after that, she just gave up and asked her sister to stall the guests while she boiled new pasta and cooked the meatballs. Anyone who’s ever done cooking knows it’s not the fastest process, so the OP left the kitchen straight in the heat of a meeting.

ADVERTISEMENT

Image credits: u/Happy_Cheescake_552

At the table, the OP stated that her sister should eat only that sandwich as revenge for spoiling everything

When it was time to sit down at the table, the OP handed her sister the “sandwich” she had made and said it was the only thing she was allowed to eat today. The sister was indignant, but the OP simply started telling the guests what she had done in her kitchen. Their younger brother, hearing about such culinary sacrilege, just shuddered, but still said that the OP had perhaps gone too far.

Image credits: David MV (not the actual image)

People in the comments told the OP that her sister should have probably eaten those pasta and meatballs with maple syrup

However, the vast majority of people in the comments still remain on the OP’s side. Moreover, many people called the woman too merciful – after all, it would have been right to give her sister a full plate of meatballs and spaghetti with maple syrup and make her eat it all. “Let her see how her logic holds up”, the commenters note.

ADVERTISEMENT

By the way, the OP’s sister’s “logic” was also devastatingly criticized by the commenters. People wonder if the woman has ever tried to combine meatballs, pasta and maple syrup, or if her argument is just a pure theory. According to the commenters, the OP’s sister was perhaps simply trying to justify herself for her kitchen fail.

If you liked the topic of outstanding kitchen fails, then you will probably enjoy this post of ours with a great selection of the most disgusting home cooking ever, and if you have your own cooking tale, we are already looking forward to it in the comments below!

You should have given her the mess she made to eat. That was complete stupidity of her to assume it's like breakfast to add syrup. Does she cook? Has she ever had pasta and sauce and meatballs before? Does she add that at her own home or out to eat? Seriously she needs to be given a cookbook and some lessons. As an adult I do pity any man she cooks for.

NTA. But maple syrup makes everything better! That said, I don't plan on putting it on spaghetti and meatballs. Asking if you need help, means waiting for a specific assignment, not taking over and doing what she wants. Having a toxic sister, it sounds intentional to me.

To be fair, her reasoning for the combination is somewhat valid, just different semantics. I myself have weird food combinations, such as banana and Sriracha or chicken soup with mustard. But that doesn't means she should impose the same to everyone, messing up with someone else's food without even asking first, that's straight up lack of respect and selfishness.

I can understand having never cooked before, but has sis ever, like... eaten food before? Otherwise I find it almost impossible that she thought this was a good idea. Spaghetti and meatballs are hardly some exotic, never-before heard-of dish; I can't imagine that sis has *never* seen it in some capacity before, or not walked by a can of pasta sauce in the grocery store at least once in her life. Even IF maple spaghetti and meatballs was her own quirky little personal recipe, any sane, normal 26-year-old person would know that nobody else on planet earth eats their pasta that way. And coleslaw sandwiches? I almost feel like that *could* be a thing I've heard of that exists, but that'd still pushing it after the whole maple syrup spaghetti thing.

I'm in no way a physician/expert but this sounds like touches of schizophrenia. The logic steps make sense on a surface level but unfortunately the end result is way off. I wonder if the pasta was wheat pasta which triggered the pancake association.. just a thought 🤔

I think she is kinda an AH. So she screwed up your meal. Spectacularly. She should not have too starve because she is an idiot. She is a guest in your home. I woukd have let her eat and laughed at her syrup incident with everyone else.

I mean, I HAVE had sweet pasta before. Noodle kugel, introduced to me by my Jewish husband, comes to mind. Butter pasta with cinnamon sugar is another. Those are delicious. And I've heard of adding a bit of sugar, or something else sweet, to pasta sauce or chilli. But maple syrup, over savory meatballs? No thank you...

I would have served her the syrup spaghetti since she's the only one that will eat it and obviously likes that combination. But if she asked for some of the regular spaghetti I let her eat it because spaghetti is cheap and what she did was stupid but not vicious. I would never let her live down that story though 😂

Sooooo here's the thing. NTA obviously. But... I will admit to using maple flavored sausage when I make meatballs. Only when I'm cooking for myself and no one else. But still, I would have tried that without hesitation lol. She still shouldn't have done it though. Definitely a stupid move.

This is obviously totally made up, sound like a creative writer on a bad day. That said, maple syrup with meatballs is amazing - pop them back in the pan to caramelise. Yummo. I use it instead of sugar, so yes, some might go in the sauce too. Not on the pasta.

And I've heard of adding a bit of sugar, or something else sweet, to pasta sauce or chilli. But maple syrup, over savory meatballs? No thank you...

This sounds like something someone who is not "all there" would do.

I would have served her the syrup spaghetti since she's the only one that will eat it and obviously likes that combination. But if she asked for some of the regular spaghetti I let her eat it because spaghetti is cheap and what she did was stupid but not vicious. I would never let her live down that story though 😂

Sooooo here's the thing. NTA obviously. But... I will admit to using maple flavored sausage when I make meatballs. Only when I'm cooking for myself and no one else. But still, I would have tried that without hesitation lol. She still shouldn't have done it though. Definitely a stupid move.

There’s no way this actually happened. I’m willing to die on this hill. No one would do any of this. It’s weird to even make it up.

I would have given her a choice - eat your pasta concoction now or leave. First remark about anything and she'd be out. Possibly for good.

As I am a great cook, and live by myself, at that point I'd dump the entire pot of syrupy c**p into the garbage and just say that from now on the refrigerator is off limits and they can go and buy their food.......as I walked out to get my takeout.

It most likely meant that the rest of the family lived out of town and was driving in.

This is obviously totally made up, sound like a creative writer on a bad day. That said, maple syrup with meatballs is amazing - pop them back in the pan to caramelise. Yummo. I use it instead of sugar, so yes, some might go in the sauce too. Not on the pasta.

You idiots thinking NOTHING ever happens. You do realize people are being murdered and kidnapped at this very moment, right?
