We don't even have to guess if you've ever been served food at someone's home – we know you did, we all have. At the end of the day, food and its importance in social interactions is something that unites most of the cultures around the world.
At the same time, it can not only build those social bridges, but destroy them too. Especially, when the served food misses the mark – just like it did in the stories from today's list.

My first time meeting her but I wouldn't touch it even to get on her good side. BTW, ya'll do know they are not talking about Jell-O for these kind of molds, it's gelatin you use. AKA food in aspic.

When you go to someone’s house, it isn’t uncommon for you to be served food by them. In fact, food is typically served not only for sustenance, but it also plays a major part in social dynamics, a guest's experience, and even in creating lasting memories. So, essentially, it’s a pretty important thing a host does when a guest comes over, even if it doesn’t seem like it.
Food can create a welcoming atmosphere for a guest and show the host’s politeness. It can foster social interactions, as it can be a natural conversation starter and icebreaker. For instance, asking the host about how they prepared the meal, what’s in it, whether it has any sentimental or other value, and things like that.

It can also set the tone for the whole event, like creating a fiesta vibe with Mexican cuisine, making a sophisticated evening with fancy cocktails, or inspiring a nostalgic mood with meals from your childhood or home country.

One of my grandmothers did not believe in cooking anything properly, because cooking shrinks lots of things, especially meat, and she decided it was frugal to hardly even heat anything because then it goes further. Everything she made was disgusting, and as I child I physically could not eat it, because it made me puke. (Her cooking skills were the least bad among her faults, so we didn't see her after I was about 8.) The other grandmother did not have a clue about food safety of basic hygiene, so there were quite a few "interesting" moments when visiting. One time I found a fly fried into a meatball I was served. Another time she put a tub of sour cream in front of me to put on my food that expired a year prior, and was just kept in the pantry, not in the fridge. She also got an electric deep fryer from one of her kids one Christmas, and she fried something in it every time we went to see her, but never, like EVER changed the oil in it, just topped it up when it seemed low.

After all, besides all of the mentioned significances, it's no secret that food carries a lot of cultural importance. It's considered a part of intangible cultural heritage. From traditional recipes to cooking techniques to dining etiquette – it all can reflect the values and beliefs of different cultural communities.
Interestingly, The UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage list even includes quite a lot of food-related customs. For example, the culture of Ukrainian borscht cooking; the Korean practice of making and sharing kimchi (known as Kimjang), or Arabic coffee being as a symbol of generosity in Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, and the UAE.

They served me with a glass of pina colada and it tasted very weird. I look inside the metal straw and it was full of mold 🙂
And so, since food carries such a big importance in many areas of our lives, it is rather easy to mess things up and prevent it from fulfilling its many purposes.
Here’s where this meme comes to mind: “You can’t eat at everybody’s house.” It was a phrase that went viral on various social media platforms, with people sharing their takes or jokes about why it’s “dangerous” to eat at other people’s homes.
Whether it’s because they simply don’t know how to prepare food, or they do it in questionable manners, with questionable products.

Brains aside (which I’m not particularly fond of either), it’s not “jello,” it’s aspic. There’s a big difference between the two, which the gastronomically challenged seem to miss based on some of the comments in this thread. Aspic dishes can be excellent when done right.

It was horrible, but I was a polite child, so with a lot of effort I managed to swallow it, then I coughed for a good while. It was water with dishwashing liquid, so we could blow bubbles. I was a city kid, never seen homemade bubble making stuff, only the store kind with a little wand that had a hole.

If it makes me retch, I will be polite but honest and just say it's triggering my "sensitive" IBS.

My sister, our cousin, and I went to visit our mother many years ago, and she was excited to offer us some peach ice cream that she had made. She fixed up a big bowl for each of us. It was awful. My sister and cousin got their choked down while we were sitting around talking, but I just took a nibble every once in a while. Finally Mom heard her phone ring in the bedroom and went to answer it. I immediately jumped up with my almost full bowl of ice cream, ran to the bathroom, and flushed it. That was around 40 years ago and I don't think my sister and cousin have ever forgiven me.
