Bringing one experimental dish wouldn't even be that big a deal if it was just a side option and not presented as a big event. Like hey, we're all here if you'd like to also try this...
I tried an experiment for thanksgiving 1 time. It was beef Wellington that I had made before and was trying to get better at. It was not the center piece of the meal as the smoked turkey was.
@wannabehistorian371 It was a short clip, but the jest of it was that someone had messed with a family recipe ...which is probably why the video cut. Can't have Auntie going to jail lol
Sorry to inform you, but the thanksgiving story is all but confirmed to be fake. Someone found out that the story and OP’s comments were all AI-generated (they ran a similar prompt through ChatGPT and got pretty much the same results) It also explains why the “photos” OP promised to share in the original post have yet to be released
I would have created a family chat and said "since my mom has decided who is creating the menu for Thanksgiving, she is also hosting. I will not have anyone at my house."
Story 3: there’s a difference between not being a good cook and making a completely inedible dish. Using craft glitter in food is dangerous, she could have made someone sick.
There is a reason you don't cook those items together, such as oysters and cranberries. And the sister knows it as well, seeing as she apparently needs to go out to BUY the ingredients, meaning she didn't have most of this stuff on hand. She expressly makes these dishes to torture her family, at least based on how I view it.
Most glitter is relatively safe. Because it often get into the air, companies have to manufacture it in such a way that if someone does end up eating some, They'll be okay. ( Now it depends on the amount, so if there's a ton of glitter in there it'll still cause problems just because it's not something you can digest) Edit Op did say she was buying edible glitter. Some of the scale issues where if she gives too much will still happen but it should not be a big issue. Willow may think it wasn't Kraft glitter because it crunched edible glitter often will also crunch. It's meant to dissolve in stomach acid, not taste pleasant or feel pleasant. Further edit to clarify : I'm not defending her cooking or anything like that, but the glitter is not the thing that really should be concerning.
last story, this sister talks big about her cooking but I'm really curious if she actually eats her own experimental food too. It'd be really telling if not.
I was thinking about this, too. From the way OP described it, with only a single bite of the stuffing being eaten in the past and the sister leaving the food behind, it sounds like she's just shoving it onto everyone else.
I read the actual post on reddit. Farther down in the comments the op said she actually ate several helpings of her own cooking and many people discussed of she had some type of taste disorder. Like maybe to her it did taste nice. I mean if done properly meat in aspic can be really nice. Like many French terrine. It has aspic and pate and are served in slices or tiny pots. And good raw oysters on the half shelf with a light cranberry shallot vinegrette might be lovely as I do like oysters with mignonette sauce And a sweet potato curry could be incredible and nice if seasoned proper. Lol sorry I used to be a chef and could see potential but too many times folks get kinda carried away. And it was made clear the glitter was craft glitter not the cookie toppling edible glitter (which is basically dyed egg whites. Thinly dehydrated and flaked) Haute cuisine can be nice but it can also miss the mark
I've been wondering throughout the entire story if she ever tried what she cooked. I'm guessing NO because if she did she would know if it was good before trying to feed it to others. How could you NOT taste test your own food?
I was going to comment this myself if nobody else did, she’s being a total AH if she gets upset over others not eating her food when she can’t/doesn’t eat it herself
13:23 THATS GENUINELY DANGEROUS. depending on the type, craft glitters are usually made with glass or other sharp materials that can cut into your esophagus, stomach and intestines.
Now I'm wondering if she doesn't know the difference between edible and non edible glitter. I think it does exist but it's pricey. Edit it does exist and no it's not pricey. It would be in the baking area.
The most common/cheapest craft glitter is typically plastic that isn't safe for consumption or even biodegradable. They do make edible glitter which makes it worse. You can even turn sugar into edible glitter. My point is, there is no excuse for putting inedible glitter in food.
Do you think… when she saw that there’s edible glitter in some baking video,,,, she thought… “oh glitter must be edible” or that it was so small like salt that it wouldn’t be an issue and it would pass normally
@@iridescentsolace yeah, theres no chance of that passing normal, i was a dumb kid and ate glitter.. hospital visit.. i seriously hope none of those people actually swallowed the potatos
I still remember that one Reddit post where the entitled mother ruined thanksgiving by putting essential oils in all the food, and blocked the door and ordered everyone back to the table to eat her snake oil infused food and she also ruined all the food everyone brought by adding snake oil to it all to, then EM sent op and his wife membership cards and oils and asked to be payed back for buying everyone a membership in the family into pyramid scheme and they found out that their mother had handed over all their personal info and all hell broke loose
To be fair, glittering sweet potato mash sounds fun, if she had actually used an edible glitter and not plastic. Never let this woman anywhere near a kitchen. Aside from her own. If she wants to eat that garbage and pretend it’s delicious, feel free, but feeding it to others is borderline abuse
They would have never gotten to the state of glittered potatoes if Opie hadn't been exclusionist from the very beginning. Meatloaf with cinnamon might be weird but it's not a reason to exclude somebody from making a meal when everybody else is doing it and Opie proved in the story that he was perfectly willing to just make sure there's multiple backup dishes for if the food doesn't go well so he could have just done that from the very beginning let her bring whatever weird experimental does she wanted to bring and not worried about it Instead he had to make a big deal of explicitly telling her she wasn't allowed to bring food before even knowing what it was she was going to bring and for reasons that sound completely snobbish like "I just wanted to make sure everybody had a consistent dining experience and actually enjoyed the food" dude if people don't like the green bean casserole it doesn't mean the rest of the food is ruined or anybody's going to have a bad experience at dinner.
@@lahlybird895 Did you even listen to the story? The sister makes borderline inedible food. NOTHING she makes is good. If you can't cook, don't cook for others. Plain and simple.
@25Erix And the entire family knew this already. All they had to do was let her bring a dish and do as they planned by bringing the same food as if she wasn't bringing a dish. Then people could attempt to try a dish made by someone known to make horrible dishes or skip it. It's not like OP was saving unwitting guests from a horrible surprise
@@lahlybird895op is not excluding anyone. People need to know their limits and bring something people will eat. Bringing plates or cups or drinks is perfectly reasonable if you can’t make food people will eat. Does the sister even eat the stuff she makes? Op mentions no one goes for seconds for anything the sister makes so I’m going to assume the sister doesn’t either. It’s incredibly disrespectful to keep bringing food and making a huge deal out of it if no one actually eats it. Especially since she’s just wasting food every year. How many times did she practice making everything and just wasted that food and money?
I love cooking and baking, I love experimenting with both! But what I would NEVER do is bring an experimental dish to a literal captive audience for a meal gathering of any kind! Like??? OP IS BEING CONTROLLING? This sister is being INSANELY manipulative! Absolutely wild to me that she is trapping her family into being guinea pigs for food at an event that is already an emotional minefield for most.
What’s wild to me is that, even after this disaster of a meal, people are still outright refusing to tell her no and just dancing around it by saying they’ll either eat out or just not celebrate. I get drawing a line in the sand after cranberry oysters and craft glitter, but they still forgot the ever so important part of straight up telling the sister her cooking is dangerous and disgusting, and that she’s not allowed to cook for them anymore.
Love how the conclusion of the last story isn’t next time we don’t let the sister cook rather we’ll all go to a restaurant it’s crazy how clear it is to see that the sister is the golden child
Second story is so sad. Imagine being taken away from your parents. Your grandparents refuse to take you in, you have no one else, and your step siblings want nothing to do with you. Don't want to meet you, see your face, or even know your name. Grandparents are pretty awful in the story. OP's mother isn't. She's under no obligation to take in a child that isn't hers. OP and their siblings are under no obligation to meet the child. But goddam is this story sad. The grandparents could take the child in and slowly have the half siblings meet em if feelings change or just every now and then as time goes on, but instead they're trying to force a child into a household where they would be unloved and unwanted.
I doubt feelings would ever change for an affair child. These people are too old to really want to forgive their father and be in this kid's life. I do wish her the best and hope the grandparents take her in but I don't see them having a relationship with her.
They aren't step siblings, they are half siblings related through their father. Step implies by marriage only, not blood. Asking the half siblings to meet is one thing, but expecting their unrelated mother to take care of the child is crazy.
Random thought: Can "the system" deny grandparents taking in grandkids on age alone? If you're reasonably healthy and financially ok, can age all by itself disqualify you? Just wondering...and would the laws vary state to state?
@@wickiwo1098 Your question doesn't make sense. The only way that would even come up is if the grandparents asked for custody while someone else was already demanding it. Custody is granted to whichever home best suits the needs of the child based on who is requesting to be the primary care giver. The state doesn't force custody on someone that refuses to take a child. If the grandparents and no other living blood relative is willing then the kid goes to foster care and eventually orphaned for adoption. Friends of the family would then be first in line for adoption permissions (assuming they wanted it at all)
Story 3: I was 100% ready to say just let her bring her single trash dish that no one will eat because it's not worth the drama. Then it turned into a whole freaking dinner with place settings and weird family group chat drama. At this point.... I mean if I were in OP's position, I'd not want her to even be there anymore.
if i was OP, then at the point where OP finds out that there is a family group chat that is excluding them, i'd just say "i'm no longer hosting thanksgiving, sister is" and leave it at that. that was just so rude.
@@jennteal5265 not much of a "family" group chat when it doesn't include the whole family. I would never host again. Let them go to Glitter Chef's house from now on.
Story 3: Gordon Ramsey would probably be too disgusted at the food to even look at her. It sounds like the sister wants to be this "big star cook" with masterpieces, but it also sounds like she doesn't even try the foods she cooks, just assumes everyone will love it. Cue the dinner when EVERYTHING failed, and I doubt she'll learn from this
She is the EXACT kind of person Ramsay dealt with in Kitchen Nightmares - the stuck-up, cocky, arrogant, and horrible chef who doesn't know how to make good food.
I was wondering if she ever even tried her own dishes. Like, making a weird turkey gelatin mold is one thing, but CRAFT GLITTER?? The fact OP never said she ate anything, I can’t believe she did. Surely a small bite would wake her from her delusion.
the kind of people who creates inedible dishes is the kind who never tried them beforehand to know if they are edible or not and are simply believeing they are the second coming of jesus chef
Especially the person who he’s bailed all responsibility from for decades and told him once before he gotta pay. No one cares about the plight he thinks he has.
@ Mid bait lil bro but sure, I’ll bite. Women aren’t given a pass to abandon children, they can and are forced to pay child support and an face consequences for not doing so.
Last story: As someone from a town who has both cranberries and oysters as staple foods grown and fished near me, just no. I live pretty close to where the pilgrim's landed so almost all thanksgiving food is actually our local staples. We have cranberry bogs, pumpkin patches, apple orchards, Turkeys are a wild animal you can see taking a walk down the street, green beans and squash are grown in most people's yards and I grew my own potatoes and corn this year. I am 100% onboard with experimenting with our local staples that have become part of thanksgiving tradition. But I wanna puke hearing this menu of cranberries and oysters. Also craft glitter is made of plastic. Did the sister worry about her kids not getting enough microplastics in their diet? Lol
As European, let me just say that there is a reason why "traditional" dishes exist: They are delicious or at least popular enough to be passed on and have been for a long time. I'm also personally one of those people who struggles with all those somethingsomething fusion dishes, where people mix sweet potatoes, salad, salmon, mango, peanut-soy sauce, oat-milk cheese and onions in one bowl, mix it and call that a meal... Please stop experimenting y'all, there are tonnes of good and delicious dishes around, no need to reinvent the wheel and make it square cardboard for "innovation".
I just want to point out that the courts will often pursue missing child support even if the recipiant doesn't want them to. It's about failing to follow a court order, which is a big legal issue.
No, it's 100% about money. The state gets a percentage of the child support. Why do you think the courts favor the mother so consistently? They want the dad's salary because it's usually higher.
@seekeroftruth6728 Why'd you say this like you're disagreeing with me when everything you said fits fine with what I said? All you did was elaborate on why failing to follow a court order would be a big legal issue.
@@uhh_Alex Because you're missing the forest through the trees. Compliance isn't what motivates the courts. It's money they care about. Full stop. Our "justice" system is just a business. One big money grab.
@@seekeroftruth6728 lmao I think you're the one missing the point. All I was saying is that she couldn't be the asshole because it's no longer her decision. I was in no way arguing about the governments motives, flaws, or etc. My focus was on the women's part in the story. Not the governments. Stop acting like a child and picking fights on the internet with people who weren't asking for it.
@@seekeroftruth6728 Funny how the seeker of the truth misses the forest through the trees. "They want the dad's salary because it's usually higher." So you're saying they base it on income and that men usually earn more. That's not favouring a gender doofus. That's basing it on income. The reality is women get favoured for custody because for most couples the mother is the one doing most of the caring. This doesn't make the court biased. They can't do 50/50 if most relationships lean heavily one way because THAT would be unfair. I'm sure there are cases where men and women get screwed over, but most of the time its the man's fault for not treating child rearing as his responsibility too.
Thanksgiving story: there's a difference between "being experimental at the kitchen" and into being a culinary Doctor Viktor Frankenstein. Like, the casserole was already bad the previous years, and she decided to do it again even after her family all showed they disliked it. Then she goes and pulls even worst dishes, including one that used CRAFT glitter instead of actual edible glitter; At this point trying to keep the peace by not antagonizing OP's sister isn't something I would do anymore. Next Thanksgiving if she wants to pull something like Ham with Cranberry Kool Aid Jam or something like that, she can host her own dinner. Not guaranteed anyone will go to it though. Also we saw OP mentioning a lot of the other family members tasting her horrible food, but not the sister herself. If she's so sure her food is this "culinary novelty masterpiece" why she don't taste it? Because I feel she knows it's horrible, but is into this power trip (so much I'd call her calling OP the 'controlling' one a massive projection).
Honestly in that last story, when it gets to that point of things when the nice route isn't working, it's time to be blunt. Just have to say it outright: "Your cooking sucks and always goes uneaten, it's a waste of food." And any challenges should be met with "then you promise to eat all of it".
The last story, if i was the OP, id have made the sister to eat a plateful of everything she crafted together and make her eat her own concoctions and see how she feels about her own "food". Give a good chunks of the food on plates to people who defended the sister too and were hard on OP. I doubt she ate any of it, not even tasted while cooking, and just brought it to t*rture others at this point. I dont think even gordon ramsey could fix this case. I feel sorry for the kitchen these abominations were spawned in. World's kitchens should be protected from this culinary te*rorist.
OP claims in some comments that the sister was eating loads of her own food, and was indeed the only one eating it, which probably means she has basically no taste or smell senses AT ALL.
@@Tustin2121 yeah okay theres something off with the sister. Possible skinwalker? I doubt human biology can do that. Or this was k*mikaze by food poisoning.
Story 2: It's always cathartic hearing "Why don't you do (insert arduous task here)?" The answer is simple: There are people who enjoy the feelings associated with doing a good deed but don't want to deal with the discomfort of having to do it themselves, so instead they pass their b.s. onto someone else. That way, they can say "Look! I helped!" and walk off into the sunset without a care in the world. I feel like there should be a word for it, by now, with how often this happens.
Yea the word is Jack@ss lmao. They sit there on their high horse saying "do this right thing here and I can take credit for giving you that advice," but don't take their own advice. smh
Reasons could also include inability to do something so you try to help by helping somebody else help for instance If somebody isn't financially able to help but know someone who is and ask them is there still helping but not hurting themselves Or if say a elderly couple don't have the space or perhaps health to take care of a child they're still helping me trying to make sure they find a home for the child even if they aren't capable of doing it themselves we know nothing about what is stopping them from taking it in the first place since op directly states that he didn't let them talk and didn't get their excuses But trying to ask other people to help doesn't always necessarily mean that you're unwilling to it could simply mean that you can't for whatever reason but still want to contribute into helping them in the whatever way you can do
14:36 The Jello dish is Kholodet, a traditional Russian dish. It's normally eaten during winter holidays and is made with pork. I guess you could make it with turkey? While it is admirable to make it Turkey shaped, her other creations makes me doubt it's edability. While I personally don't like it, most people in my family do like it.
It can be made with pork, beef, chicken and even fish. Meat is boiled at least for 8 hours btw. And Holodetz has to be eaten with horse radish souce or Russian mustard (weaklings can take French mustard😂) . If properly! done this dish is delicious.
Hmm. That's interesting. I'd never thought gelatinized meat would be something that people would find tasty, but that's humans for you. Always weird to the bitter end. (I say this as a cheese lover)
@@Jaseoffire Most things can be tasty if prepared right. The opposite is also true. Afterall some people love pineapple pizza and others view it as heresy.
Wow, the Thanksgiving sister! It's always projection, isn't it? The one that's trying to control the one in charge, is accusing the one in charge of being controlling!
Story 1: All of this could've been avoided if he just paid the Child Support when he was supposed to. He had the money, just didn’t want to pay for some reason. He can't blame OP
Yeah too many men seem to assume it'll magically go away if they dodge it until they're 18. No it just means instead of that money being spent on your kid, you have to pay back the other parent for not helping in the first place.
That thanksgiving story was something else. I have to say I was hungry at the beginning but hearing that disaster of food. My hunger disappeared and makes matters worse I pictured those dishes in my head and my mind told my stomach " naw bro, you never want to eat for a while until op(me) forgot about this"
The story about op's sister that can't cook a good meal is that op should have said if you bring a awful dish it will go straight into the trash and not wonder if anyone else will try it
My concern about the story is what is going on with the sister thinking that her food is tasty. Can she not tell how 💩 it tastes? Also her family could’ve sued her for serving food with inedible glitter which could’ve harmed them.
@@lorilancaster5917sometimes I make actual garbage food. But I like to convince myself it's actually tasty and delicious because I made it, as to not hurt my pride. Maybe that's what's going on.
Story 1: Like…can we normalize the idea that laughing at an unreasonable asshole does NOT make you the bad guy… NTA Op, your Ex is just a loser and like…you get that you won’t get a penny from him if you forgive this debt…
Thanksgiving: when the time comes, say “I want to be a good host, so I’ll make everyone’s plates.” Everyone who said you were overreacting gets double portions
The sister will become famous alright, but after Gordon Ramsey vomits the dishes she pulls and calls them the worst thing he has tasted in all of his career
That Thanksgiving story was wild. Sometimes people WANT and look forward to “boring old food”. A lot of the stuff our family has for Thanksgiving, we only eat that once a year. Go stimulate the taste buds with your dangerous concoctions on Halloween or Black Friday. Leave my non-glittery foods alone, OP’s sister. 😂
So, I am not sure if the sister in the last story got inspired by Eastern European cuisine, but buckle up - meat jelly dishes are a thing (I am Lithuanian, here it's called "šaltiena", in Russian "Студень", now you can google it); so basically you boil pork with all the fats and freeze the broth with the meat in it and possibly add some veggies (no gelatin actually goes into preparing it). Personally I am not a fan of it, but it's quite popular here. Tho, hearing about the oyster and glitter monstrosities, I don't imagine it was edible in the slightest lol.
Yup I commented about холодец which is the Ukrainian variant. I remember the gelatin part came from the cartilage of the meat to give it that jelly texture. Basically when you boil cartilage which is what they use to make gelatin it should get thicker. I'm not a fan either but my mom is Ukrainian and loves it. We also have a similar dish across central Europe known as aspic. I believe it's popular in the region of Lombardy in Italy and across France. I haven't been to Lombardy in a hot minute so I have no idea and have never seen it in the south of France but hey, that's what Google says. Also the last time I saw this dish was when a friend of my mom from moldova made it.
@@Greatcelestialkaligo thanksgiving is typically a potluck dinner that has traditional food items, but like all potluck dinners it can having anything. so long as the food is edible, then its good.
Thanksgiving story: The second the mother chimes in defending the sister would also be the second BOTH of them were uninvited. Any additional family members who chime in defending them would also be uninvited. My house, my hosting, my rules. Don’t like it? Go somewhere else and host it yourself. Also, personally I would rate the sister closer to 2.5/5. It’s much more malicious than stupid. She actively shoved herself into the event taking center stage and stealing OPs thanksgiving event. Then she got mommy to come to her defense and gaslight OP when she wasn’t getting her way. Mommy’s little princess a little shit who can’t take no for an answer.
OP in the third story should've said after the sister stormed out "Alright, all of those who defended her and her cooking eat up. There's a lot of glitter and gelatin to go around. Everyone else, who wants ham?"
For all the family members who encouraged chef disaster.. they would have gotten plates of that mess and no emergency ham.. people could have really gotten salmonella from that trash.. sometimes you HAVE to to tell someone they’re making a huge mistake..
Story #2 - NTA, and I’m proud of this teenager’s maturity in this story. You know just how vile an adult is when they have to be scolded by a child for their bad behavior. I don’t know what lead to the half sister being taken in by CPS, but these grandparents need to learn to take responsibility for their own (grand)children, and stop whining and screaming like spoiled narcissists. If they wanna be mad at someone, they should be yelling at their own son and new DIL for not taking responsibility for their own child.
No, no, no NO!!!! The sister deserves something like 4/5. Thanksgiving is a family holiday, where you are THANKFUL (hence the name) for what you have and what you are blessed with. The sister made this aaaaaall about her and her ambitions. She not only ruined the dinner for a bunch of people, but also served harmful food (that glitter is not safe to eat). And in the end, when nobody was impressed, but everybody had the decency of not calling her out (there was no "WTF is this shit, your cooking is worse than ass") she decided to blow up and leave, not wanting to eat her own masterpiece. The world does not revolve around you and your crappy cooking - 4/5
What gets me....is that she didn't stop to taste whatever she was cooking. Hell, most recipes out there usually have the line, "add ___ to personal taste." Implying that you should TASTE your cooking to ensure that it's edible and pleasant for your guests. Also, there's a limit to "creativity" when it comes to food. What she made, could be classified as display dishes. Better yet, just keep her out of the kitchen.
The thanksgiving story it sounds like they should sign her up for Worst Chef in America. Maybe having professional chefs gag on her “experience” Will make her realize how inedible it is
Unfortunately the Thanksgiving story was probably fake. Someone managed to get basically the exact same story out of ChatGPT. So that's probably where the original story came from.
Where do you think ChatGBT takes from? It's source is reddit. Just like the new AI SORA managed to perfectly recreate and decided unprompted to put Marques Brrownlee's fake plant in a video about itself. Seriously check it out, it's creepy, but it shows pretty strong proof these things are fed off RUclips and Reddit and Pinterest (cause it's free)
That last story, this is why participation awards and golden child type stuff shouldn't exist. Also, the sister deserves a score, but the mother and father deserve an even larger one for enabling her. If I was op, I wouldn't have brought any food and let the parents lay in the bed they made.
I like how, in the Thanksgiving story, sis literally said she is bringing EXPERIMENTAL dishes for the family to try. The whole point of an "experiment" is to try something and see where it goes. It might work out well; or, it'll not work out at all. That's like bringing a science experiment to a science fair without knowing what the result of the experiment will be. DON'T DO IT! EDIT: I don't think I've ever heard rSlash laugh more than during the Thanksgiving story. That was really funny hahaha
9:12 I’ll be honest. Op stressing to much. Lrt just get a foldable table for her food and still make your food. Isn’t it a good thing if there too much food at a thanksgiving. I got a pretty big extended family. We use to have like 30-40 people at my Mamas, she moved to Florida. So it only get about 10-15 big now. A lot of family moved in recent years.
I disagree about Thanksgiving sister. It's not ha-ha funny because she's a bad cook. It's yikes-funny because of how incredibly self centered she is. She was delighted to risk ruining everyone's holiday, serving them disgusting and inedible food, just to "have her moment." This probably manifests in lots of ways and the story illustrates how the family coddles and denies the problem. It's a lot bigger than Thanksgiving. I'd say 3/5 bh.
The sister ranting to the family about none of them supporting her, that they're not willing to expand their pallets and saying they'll regret, is just her trying to convince herself her crap is good!
Craft glitter in food is unforgivable. That's sharp plastics. That's gonna lead to internal cuts and the risk of ER visits. WTF is wrong with that sister?
We all have that one family member that wants to bring their own creations… my sister is that person. Having to lie every year to suit her emotions is getting old. No one wants to tell her she can’t cook but I’m tempted to tell her at the next gathering!!!
You misspelled "attempted murderer". Cheap craft glitter sometimes contains small glass shards, because they "glitter" so nicely... And feeding someone glass shards is an attempt to kill them.
Story 3 "1.5 out of 5 buttholes. It's more of a stupid moment than a butthole moment." Nah, that was some high-key disrespect. If someone had the audacity to treat Me, My home, and My hospitality like that, they and anyone who tried to defend them would be out of my life immediately.
yeah. OP should have just passed the buck off to the sister. tell the family that sister is now hosting thanksgiving and cooking all the food. see how many people turn around and tell sister to shut up then.
R/Slash. You should get merch going of your famous phrases. Like "Why don't YOU do it!" Or "Your money, your rules" "your body, your rules" or other phrases that are just iconic for you. I know for a fact I'd get stickers or a shirt of it immediately.
For the Thanksgiving story, what confuses me is that it seems that the sister never even ate her own food. If she can't stomach it, why does she expect other people to?
actually, by coments added by the op of that story, she eated loads of her own food, which brings the question, does she even have a sense of taste, smell or textures?, because probably she doesn't and that is why she thinks the other foods are "boring" because she hardly feels anything edit: also the story might had been generated by chatgpt, since the last "update" was made 13 days ago, and the op of that story "promised" pictures of the food, yet nothing shown in 13 days(probably tried to make some AI generated images yet none felt realistic probably xD
@@cronft yep. Story’s fake. As far as I can gather, the story’s itself was spouted out with the same exact dishes by ChatGPT. The comments were also remarkably similar to what ChatGPT gave for a similar prompt (credits to u/DistressedDandelion for pointing this out): The prompt was "answer to the following comment, to the point, promise to upload the photo at a later time, because you are still out" followed by the original comments OP replied to. Comment: Oh boy, I've been following this story and I can't WAIT to see these photos, commenting for later😂 I'm glad your family ended up having a good day! OP: I’m glad you’ve been following along, and trust me, the photos will be worth it. Today was definitely a wild ride, but in the end, we managed to salvage the day. I’ll post the pictures later when I’m back home-it’s going to be something to see. ChatGPT: Thanks for the support! I promise I’ll upload the photos as soon as I’m back home-trust me, you need to see them to fully grasp the chaos. Stay tuned! Comment: There has to be something wrong with your sister. Like I would’ve laughed in her face. Please post the pictures OP: Honestly, after today, I’m starting to wonder the same thing. The confidence she had in these dishes was truly something else. I managed to take a few pictures without being obvious, so stay tuned. I’ll post them when I get back from decompressing with my cousin. You won’t believe your eyes. ChatGPT: I honestly wish I had laughed, but I was too busy trying to figure out how to discreetly dispose of my "portion" without being caught. I promise I’ll post the pictures soon-there’s no way you’d believe it without seeing it! Comment: I just made my wife aware of this entire saga and now we're eagerly anticipating the photographs. I told her "Turkey gelatin mold" and she lost it. OP: The turkey gelatin mold is definitely the showstopper of this saga. I’m glad you and your wife are enjoying the chaos-it’s been a ride, to say the least. I’ll have the photos up later, and trust me, they’ll live up to the hype. Thanks for following along! ChatGPT: I can only imagine her reaction! "Turkey gelatin mold" really does hit a new level of absurd, doesn’t it? I’ll upload the photos as soon as I’m back-brace yourselves for the full horror!
Story 2: OP suggested that too.. It's crazy, they're showing they don't care but that they do at the same time. If you're so worried about her, take her in yourself. It's not that hard to file adoption papers.
Story 3: I feel like Op shouldn’t have made a big deal about the sister wanting to make food. Him trying to fight back made the sister not only double but triple down and he should’ve just let her make her one dish and let everyone hate it. Mom was crazy enabling tho
That sister's food sounds like somthing my grandma would force me to eat to cheer them up, and then punish me when I use too much water to choak it down
Anyone else think the sister realized how terrible it tasted and was waiting for anyone to have a negative reaction? Just so she could give her little speech and leave herself and not have to eat the food? I would have packed it up for her and had Mom and Aunt (any of the supporters take it back to her later. Or maybe she doesn’t have any sense of taste…long COVID symptom or something else?
Plot twist: the thanksgiving sister is a multi media artist and sculptor who decided to add food as a working material. That's the explanation that my brain found and tbh food in modern art is not that strange (banana duck taped to the wall anyone?) but most of the time both the artist and the public have the understanding that it's not something to eat. If it turns out that the sister has an office job, I would start to get worried.
For the Thanksgiving Food Story, I would have my cousin add me then say "Look, if you want to do all this, you can host thanksgiving, I will not be attending so everyone be sure to go to her place. Enjoy." The drop out of the group chat. If she wants to be the "Head Chief of Thanksgiving" and railroad OP likes this then she can host Thanksgiving and feed everyone her horrific concoctions and make those who though OP was blowing it out of proportion suffer for their idiocy.
I swear as I kept listening to the story the part about the actual meal and what she served, the people's reactions, finally the aunt gagging, I just lost it and started laughing my ass off. I would have paid a thousand bucks to be a fly on the wall at that party
Except for the literal glitter it's technically food... But so is a pork intestine smoothie... Still doesn't mean it's tasty... Or edible without holding your nose...
Unfortunately the Thanksgiving Foos post is almost certainly made up. OP promised that she’d show pics of her sister’s dishes but it’s nearly been two weeks since Thanksgiving and there’s no pics anywhere. Guess the OP bit off more than she could chew with her creative writing project.
As far as I'm aware, ingesting glitter can be fatal. I'm not sure if it's to do with the digestive tract or if it's just the risk that you might aspirate some accidentally.
To quote an angry Auntie I saw on Instagram, "YOU EXPERIMENT AT YOUR OWN HOUSE. YOU DON'T EXPERIMENT ON THANKSGIVING!!"
Bringing one experimental dish wouldn't even be that big a deal if it was just a side option and not presented as a big event. Like hey, we're all here if you'd like to also try this...
@Vincent_Beers 100%
I tried an experiment for thanksgiving 1 time. It was beef Wellington that I had made before and was trying to get better at. It was not the center piece of the meal as the smoked turkey was.
What was the context of that lol
@wannabehistorian371 It was a short clip, but the jest of it was that someone had messed with a family recipe ...which is probably why the video cut. Can't have Auntie going to jail lol
Someone should get the sister to audition for "Worst Cooks in America." Tell her it's a cooking show, but don't mention which one.
Is that still on? Haven't seen it in years.
I think even the contestants on worst cooks in America would be screaming “noooooo!!!” At what the sister whipped up.
@@Vincent_Beers it is
Sorry to inform you, but the thanksgiving story is all but confirmed to be fake. Someone found out that the story and OP’s comments were all AI-generated (they ran a similar prompt through ChatGPT and got pretty much the same results)
It also explains why the “photos” OP promised to share in the original post have yet to be released
@@demi_shin That's... kind of a relief. I don't wanna know what happens when you eat craft glitter.
I would have created a family chat and said "since my mom has decided who is creating the menu for Thanksgiving, she is also hosting. I will not have anyone at my house."
yep. thats what i would have done.
I absolutely agree
This.
Yup. Tell everyone that she's the only one who's gonna cook for Thanksgivin and see how everyone reacts.
@@Juju2927 exactly 😂 I bet that would have shut down the convo real quick. No one ate that disaster of a meal.
Story 3: there’s a difference between not being a good cook and making a completely inedible dish. Using craft glitter in food is dangerous, she could have made someone sick.
The story mentioned edible glitter, not craft glitter
@@brendanboomhour7606 no, the sister used craft glitter.
@brendanboomhour7606
The op clarified that she in fact did not use edible glitter and used craft glitter instead lol
There is a reason you don't cook those items together, such as oysters and cranberries. And the sister knows it as well, seeing as she apparently needs to go out to BUY the ingredients, meaning she didn't have most of this stuff on hand. She expressly makes these dishes to torture her family, at least based on how I view it.
@@brendanboomhour7606 sister used craft glitter, not edible glitter
Forget about glittery poop, glitter is tiny pieces of sharp plastic and metal that can potentially do some significant damage to one’s inside parts.
@@P1xlbunnyop said it isnt
It was papercraft glitter
@@P1xlbunny 13:21 no she didn’t
@p1x try paying attention, it wasn't edible glitter
Most glitter is relatively safe. Because it often get into the air, companies have to manufacture it in such a way that if someone does end up eating some, They'll be okay. ( Now it depends on the amount, so if there's a ton of glitter in there it'll still cause problems just because it's not something you can digest)
Edit Op did say she was buying edible glitter. Some of the scale issues where if she gives too much will still happen but it should not be a big issue. Willow may think it wasn't Kraft glitter because it crunched edible glitter often will also crunch. It's meant to dissolve in stomach acid, not taste pleasant or feel pleasant.
Further edit to clarify : I'm not defending her cooking or anything like that, but the glitter is not the thing that really should be concerning.
@@unknowngamer37415 glitter is microplastic, so it would not digest and therefore probably give you cramps and an upset stomach
last story, this sister talks big about her cooking but I'm really curious if she actually eats her own experimental food too. It'd be really telling if not.
My thoughts exactly. If she had eaten the food, I think OP would have told us about it.
I was thinking about this, too. From the way OP described it, with only a single bite of the stuffing being eaten in the past and the sister leaving the food behind, it sounds like she's just shoving it onto everyone else.
I read the actual post on reddit. Farther down in the comments the op said she actually ate several helpings of her own cooking and many people discussed of she had some type of taste disorder. Like maybe to her it did taste nice.
I mean if done properly meat in aspic can be really nice. Like many French terrine. It has aspic and pate and are served in slices or tiny pots.
And good raw oysters on the half shelf with a light cranberry shallot vinegrette might be lovely as I do like oysters with mignonette sauce
And a sweet potato curry could be incredible and nice if seasoned proper.
Lol sorry I used to be a chef and could see potential but too many times folks get kinda carried away.
And it was made clear the glitter was craft glitter not the cookie toppling edible glitter (which is basically dyed egg whites. Thinly dehydrated and flaked)
Haute cuisine can be nice but it can also miss the mark
I've been wondering throughout the entire story if she ever tried what she cooked. I'm guessing NO because if she did she would know if it was good before trying to feed it to others. How could you NOT taste test your own food?
I was going to comment this myself if nobody else did, she’s being a total AH if she gets upset over others not eating her food when she can’t/doesn’t eat it herself
13:23 THATS GENUINELY DANGEROUS. depending on the type, craft glitters are usually made with glass or other sharp materials that can cut into your esophagus, stomach and intestines.
based pfp
Now I'm wondering if she doesn't know the difference between edible and non edible glitter. I think it does exist but it's pricey.
Edit it does exist and no it's not pricey. It would be in the baking area.
The most common/cheapest craft glitter is typically plastic that isn't safe for consumption or even biodegradable. They do make edible glitter which makes it worse. You can even turn sugar into edible glitter. My point is, there is no excuse for putting inedible glitter in food.
Do you think… when she saw that there’s edible glitter in some baking video,,,, she thought… “oh glitter must be edible” or that it was so small like salt that it wouldn’t be an issue and it would pass normally
@@iridescentsolace yeah, theres no chance of that passing normal, i was a dumb kid and ate glitter.. hospital visit.. i seriously hope none of those people actually swallowed the potatos

I still remember that one Reddit post where the entitled mother ruined thanksgiving by putting essential oils in all the food, and blocked the door and ordered everyone back to the table to eat her snake oil infused food and she also ruined all the food everyone brought by adding snake oil to it all to, then EM sent op and his wife membership cards and oils and asked to be payed back for buying everyone a membership in the family into pyramid scheme and they found out that their mother had handed over all their personal info and all hell broke loose
Okay wow now I want to read this story! Thanks for the info 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Hey do you know what the title of the story is I want to find it and read it
Title of that story please? I REALLY need to read that.
Found it y’all, it’s in the JustNoMIL subreddit. It’s titled “MIL ruined Thanksgiving dinner with oil”
Oh my God I never heard that reddit story can you please link that story please and thank you
To be fair, glittering sweet potato mash sounds fun, if she had actually used an edible glitter and not plastic.
Never let this woman anywhere near a kitchen. Aside from her own. If she wants to eat that garbage and pretend it’s delicious, feel free, but feeding it to others is borderline abuse
Sounds like she didn't even try her own food. As the story was told, she stormed out without eating.
They would have never gotten to the state of glittered potatoes if Opie hadn't been exclusionist from the very beginning. Meatloaf with cinnamon might be weird but it's not a reason to exclude somebody from making a meal when everybody else is doing it and Opie proved in the story that he was perfectly willing to just make sure there's multiple backup dishes for if the food doesn't go well so he could have just done that from the very beginning let her bring whatever weird experimental does she wanted to bring and not worried about it
Instead he had to make a big deal of explicitly telling her she wasn't allowed to bring food before even knowing what it was she was going to bring and for reasons that sound completely snobbish like "I just wanted to make sure everybody had a consistent dining experience and actually enjoyed the food" dude if people don't like the green bean casserole it doesn't mean the rest of the food is ruined or anybody's going to have a bad experience at dinner.
@@lahlybird895 Did you even listen to the story? The sister makes borderline inedible food. NOTHING she makes is good. If you can't cook, don't cook for others. Plain and simple.
@25Erix And the entire family knew this already. All they had to do was let her bring a dish and do as they planned by bringing the same food as if she wasn't bringing a dish. Then people could attempt to try a dish made by someone known to make horrible dishes or skip it. It's not like OP was saving unwitting guests from a horrible surprise
@@lahlybird895op is not excluding anyone. People need to know their limits and bring something people will eat. Bringing plates or cups or drinks is perfectly reasonable if you can’t make food people will eat. Does the sister even eat the stuff she makes? Op mentions no one goes for seconds for anything the sister makes so I’m going to assume the sister doesn’t either. It’s incredibly disrespectful to keep bringing food and making a huge deal out of it if no one actually eats it. Especially since she’s just wasting food every year. How many times did she practice making everything and just wasted that food and money?
I love cooking and baking, I love experimenting with both! But what I would NEVER do is bring an experimental dish to a literal captive audience for a meal gathering of any kind! Like??? OP IS BEING CONTROLLING? This sister is being INSANELY manipulative! Absolutely wild to me that she is trapping her family into being guinea pigs for food at an event that is already an emotional minefield for most.
And she can't even do it properly?! There's a reason edible glitter exists
I'm wondering if she ever eats her own dishes? Like, there's no way her taste buds are THAT screwed??
Yeah cuz I do that's supposed to be about family support is totally the wrong time to try sharing something with your family
Controlling the meal is one thing. Taking over someone else's house when they are hosting is an additional level. More like 2-2.5 bad apple score
What’s wild to me is that, even after this disaster of a meal, people are still outright refusing to tell her no and just dancing around it by saying they’ll either eat out or just not celebrate. I get drawing a line in the sand after cranberry oysters and craft glitter, but they still forgot the ever so important part of straight up telling the sister her cooking is dangerous and disgusting, and that she’s not allowed to cook for them anymore.
Love how the conclusion of the last story isn’t next time we don’t let the sister cook rather we’ll all go to a restaurant it’s crazy how clear it is to see that the sister is the golden child
Or the sped child
Right?! No one is going to tell the sister ANYthing.
My thoughts on that Thanksgiving dinner story: to quote B Dylan Hollis, "That's not food. This is a war crime."
oh my god, i absolutely love him!! hes what sparked my interest in baking!
"This tastes like a boot! A size 10 boot!"
🤣🤣 So very true!
Dylan is hilarious I actually made the pumpkin quickys and they were really good
@@vulpixle9659 I've made his marshmallow bark and Rolo Ritz sandwiches. Both were good.
Second story is so sad. Imagine being taken away from your parents. Your grandparents refuse to take you in, you have no one else, and your step siblings want nothing to do with you. Don't want to meet you, see your face, or even know your name.
Grandparents are pretty awful in the story. OP's mother isn't. She's under no obligation to take in a child that isn't hers. OP and their siblings are under no obligation to meet the child. But goddam is this story sad.
The grandparents could take the child in and slowly have the half siblings meet em if feelings change or just every now and then as time goes on, but instead they're trying to force a child into a household where they would be unloved and unwanted.
The question is if the geanfparent have got denial
I doubt feelings would ever change for an affair child. These people are too old to really want to forgive their father and be in this kid's life. I do wish her the best and hope the grandparents take her in but I don't see them having a relationship with her.
They aren't step siblings, they are half siblings related through their father. Step implies by marriage only, not blood.
Asking the half siblings to meet is one thing, but expecting their unrelated mother to take care of the child is crazy.
Random thought: Can "the system" deny grandparents taking in grandkids on age alone? If you're reasonably healthy and financially ok, can age all by itself disqualify you? Just wondering...and would the laws vary state to state?
@@wickiwo1098 Your question doesn't make sense. The only way that would even come up is if the grandparents asked for custody while someone else was already demanding it. Custody is granted to whichever home best suits the needs of the child based on who is requesting to be the primary care giver. The state doesn't force custody on someone that refuses to take a child. If the grandparents and no other living blood relative is willing then the kid goes to foster care and eventually orphaned for adoption. Friends of the family would then be first in line for adoption permissions (assuming they wanted it at all)
Story 3: I was 100% ready to say just let her bring her single trash dish that no one will eat because it's not worth the drama. Then it turned into a whole freaking dinner with place settings and weird family group chat drama. At this point.... I mean if I were in OP's position, I'd not want her to even be there anymore.
if i was OP, then at the point where OP finds out that there is a family group chat that is excluding them, i'd just say "i'm no longer hosting thanksgiving, sister is" and leave it at that. that was just so rude.
I think part of the problem is that it got blown way out of proportion. If butthole OP didn't throw a hissy fit the 1 dish would have been brought.
@@jennteal5265 not much of a "family" group chat when it doesn't include the whole family. I would never host again. Let them go to Glitter Chef's house from now on.
i'd say both sisters are unhinged.
@@ragdollfantasies not being in the group chat could as easily be a statement about OP than about the family.
Story 3: Gordon Ramsey would probably be too disgusted at the food to even look at her. It sounds like the sister wants to be this "big star cook" with masterpieces, but it also sounds like she doesn't even try the foods she cooks, just assumes everyone will love it.
Cue the dinner when EVERYTHING failed, and I doubt she'll learn from this
She is the EXACT kind of person Ramsay dealt with in Kitchen Nightmares - the stuck-up, cocky, arrogant, and horrible chef who doesn't know how to make good food.
Gordon: I've never eaten dog 💩, but those dishes definitely look the part!
I was wondering if she ever even tried her own dishes. Like, making a weird turkey gelatin mold is one thing, but CRAFT GLITTER?? The fact OP never said she ate anything, I can’t believe she did. Surely a small bite would wake her from her delusion.
Ramsey would have an effing coronary and he wouldn't hold back.
the kind of people who creates inedible dishes is the kind who never tried them beforehand to know if they are edible or not and are simply believeing they are the second coming of jesus chef
HE SAID IT!!! I heard it! I love it when he says it! I get such a kick out of it. "Why Don't You Do it"?!?!
Me too!! Someone should make a compilation of those stories
Its aways when other friends or family that get upset on the somebody'sbehalf whenever op doesn't wanna do, pay, or help that somebody.
My advice to OP: "No, let your sister cook!!"
The chaos of this is amazing. I wish there were pics
Bro didn’t pay child support even when ordered by the court, what makes him think that anyone would believe he’d pay outside of court?
Especially the person who he’s bailed all responsibility from for decades and told him once before he gotta pay. No one cares about the plight he thinks he has.
*Deadbeat Husband:* "Why yes dear, I do in fact believe you are _that_ stupid."
Why should a man be forced to pay child support when women can abandon children free and clear of the consequences?
@@GreenBeret1903 The parent who doesn't have the child pays the parent who is raising the child... don't make this about genders.
@ Mid bait lil bro but sure, I’ll bite. Women aren’t given a pass to abandon children, they can and are forced to pay child support and an face consequences for not doing so.
Last story: As someone from a town who has both cranberries and oysters as staple foods grown and fished near me, just no. I live pretty close to where the pilgrim's landed so almost all thanksgiving food is actually our local staples. We have cranberry bogs, pumpkin patches, apple orchards, Turkeys are a wild animal you can see taking a walk down the street, green beans and squash are grown in most people's yards and I grew my own potatoes and corn this year. I am 100% onboard with experimenting with our local staples that have become part of thanksgiving tradition. But I wanna puke hearing this menu of cranberries and oysters.
Also craft glitter is made of plastic. Did the sister worry about her kids not getting enough microplastics in their diet? Lol
Wow, it sounds idyllic. Lucky you
As European, let me just say that there is a reason why "traditional" dishes exist: They are delicious or at least popular enough to be passed on and have been for a long time. I'm also personally one of those people who struggles with all those somethingsomething fusion dishes, where people mix sweet potatoes, salad, salmon, mango, peanut-soy sauce, oat-milk cheese and onions in one bowl, mix it and call that a meal... Please stop experimenting y'all, there are tonnes of good and delicious dishes around, no need to reinvent the wheel and make it square cardboard for "innovation".
I just want to point out that the courts will often pursue missing child support even if the recipiant doesn't want them to. It's about failing to follow a court order, which is a big legal issue.
No, it's 100% about money. The state gets a percentage of the child support. Why do you think the courts favor the mother so consistently? They want the dad's salary because it's usually higher.
@seekeroftruth6728 Why'd you say this like you're disagreeing with me when everything you said fits fine with what I said? All you did was elaborate on why failing to follow a court order would be a big legal issue.
@@uhh_Alex Because you're missing the forest through the trees. Compliance isn't what motivates the courts. It's money they care about. Full stop. Our "justice" system is just a business. One big money grab.
@@seekeroftruth6728 lmao I think you're the one missing the point. All I was saying is that she couldn't be the asshole because it's no longer her decision. I was in no way arguing about the governments motives, flaws, or etc.
My focus was on the women's part in the story. Not the governments.
Stop acting like a child and picking fights on the internet with people who weren't asking for it.
@@seekeroftruth6728 Funny how the seeker of the truth misses the forest through the trees.
"They want the dad's salary because it's usually higher." So you're saying they base it on income and that men usually earn more. That's not favouring a gender doofus. That's basing it on income.
The reality is women get favoured for custody because for most couples the mother is the one doing most of the caring. This doesn't make the court biased. They can't do 50/50 if most relationships lean heavily one way because THAT would be unfair. I'm sure there are cases where men and women get screwed over, but most of the time its the man's fault for not treating child rearing as his responsibility too.
Thanksgiving story: there's a difference between "being experimental at the kitchen" and into being a culinary Doctor Viktor Frankenstein. Like, the casserole was already bad the previous years, and she decided to do it again even after her family all showed they disliked it. Then she goes and pulls even worst dishes, including one that used CRAFT glitter instead of actual edible glitter;
At this point trying to keep the peace by not antagonizing OP's sister isn't something I would do anymore. Next Thanksgiving if she wants to pull something like Ham with Cranberry Kool Aid Jam or something like that, she can host her own dinner. Not guaranteed anyone will go to it though. Also we saw OP mentioning a lot of the other family members tasting her horrible food, but not the sister herself. If she's so sure her food is this "culinary novelty masterpiece" why she don't taste it? Because I feel she knows it's horrible, but is into this power trip (so much I'd call her calling OP the 'controlling' one a massive projection).
Honestly in that last story, when it gets to that point of things when the nice route isn't working, it's time to be blunt. Just have to say it outright: "Your cooking sucks and always goes uneaten, it's a waste of food." And any challenges should be met with "then you promise to eat all of it".
Yes! Make her promise to eat it or wear it.
The last story, if i was the OP, id have made the sister to eat a plateful of everything she crafted together and make her eat her own concoctions and see how she feels about her own "food".
Give a good chunks of the food on plates to people who defended the sister too and were hard on OP.
I doubt she ate any of it, not even tasted while cooking, and just brought it to t*rture others at this point.
I dont think even gordon ramsey could fix this case.
I feel sorry for the kitchen these abominations were spawned in.
World's kitchens should be protected from this culinary te*rorist.
OP claims in some comments that the sister was eating loads of her own food, and was indeed the only one eating it, which probably means she has basically no taste or smell senses AT ALL.
@@Tustin2121 yeah okay theres something off with the sister.
Possible skinwalker?
I doubt human biology can do that.
Or this was k*mikaze by food poisoning.
Story 2: It's always cathartic hearing "Why don't you do (insert arduous task here)?" The answer is simple: There are people who enjoy the feelings associated with doing a good deed but don't want to deal with the discomfort of having to do it themselves, so instead they pass their b.s. onto someone else. That way, they can say "Look! I helped!" and walk off into the sunset without a care in the world. I feel like there should be a word for it, by now, with how often this happens.
Yea the word is Jack@ss lmao. They sit there on their high horse saying "do this right thing here and I can take credit for giving you that advice," but don't take their own advice. smh
Reasons could also include inability to do something so you try to help by helping somebody else help for instance
If somebody isn't financially able to help but know someone who is and ask them is there still helping but not hurting themselves
Or if say a elderly couple don't have the space or perhaps health to take care of a child they're still helping me trying to make sure they find a home for the child even if they aren't capable of doing it themselves we know nothing about what is stopping them from taking it in the first place since op directly states that he didn't let them talk and didn't get their excuses
But trying to ask other people to help doesn't always necessarily mean that you're unwilling to it could simply mean that you can't for whatever reason but still want to contribute into helping them in the whatever way you can do
The word is "virtue signaling"
14:36 The Jello dish is Kholodet, a traditional Russian dish. It's normally eaten during winter holidays and is made with pork. I guess you could make it with turkey? While it is admirable to make it Turkey shaped, her other creations makes me doubt it's edability. While I personally don't like it, most people in my family do like it.
It can be made with pork, beef, chicken and even fish. Meat is boiled at least for 8 hours btw.
And Holodetz has to be eaten with horse radish souce or Russian mustard (weaklings can take French mustard😂) . If properly! done this dish is delicious.
Hmm. That's interesting. I'd never thought gelatinized meat would be something that people would find tasty, but that's humans for you. Always weird to the bitter end. (I say this as a cheese lover)

Thanksgiving OP should sell the rights to their story to South Park
Story 1: All of this could've been avoided if he just paid the Child Support when he was supposed to. He had the money, just didn’t want to pay for some reason.
He can't blame OP
Yeah too many men seem to assume it'll magically go away if they dodge it until they're 18. No it just means instead of that money being spent on your kid, you have to pay back the other parent for not helping in the first place.
That thanksgiving story was something else. I have to say I was hungry at the beginning but hearing that disaster of food. My hunger disappeared and makes matters worse I pictured those dishes in my head and my mind told my stomach " naw bro, you never want to eat for a while until op(me) forgot about this"
The story about op's sister that can't cook a good meal is that op should have said if you bring a awful dish it will go straight into the trash and not wonder if anyone else will try it
My concern about the story is what is going on with the sister thinking that her food is tasty. Can she not tell how 💩 it tastes? Also her family could’ve sued her for serving food with inedible glitter which could’ve harmed them.
@@lorilancaster5917sometimes I make actual garbage food. But I like to convince myself it's actually tasty and delicious because I made it, as to not hurt my pride. Maybe that's what's going on.

Story 1: Like…can we normalize the idea that laughing at an unreasonable asshole does NOT make you the bad guy…
NTA Op, your Ex is just a loser and like…you get that you won’t get a penny from him if you forgive this debt…
Thanksgiving: when the time comes, say “I want to be a good host, so I’ll make everyone’s plates.”
Everyone who said you were overreacting gets double portions
If Dabney ever sells merch and if he doesnt have a shirt or something with 'WhY dOn'T yOu Do It?!' plastered on it, I'll do it myself lol 😆
The sister will become famous alright, but after Gordon Ramsey vomits the dishes she pulls and calls them the worst thing he has tasted in all of his career
That Thanksgiving story was wild. Sometimes people WANT and look forward to “boring old food”. A lot of the stuff our family has for Thanksgiving, we only eat that once a year. Go stimulate the taste buds with your dangerous concoctions on Halloween or Black Friday. Leave my non-glittery foods alone, OP’s sister. 😂
So, I am not sure if the sister in the last story got inspired by Eastern European cuisine, but buckle up - meat jelly dishes are a thing (I am Lithuanian, here it's called "šaltiena", in Russian "Студень", now you can google it); so basically you boil pork with all the fats and freeze the broth with the meat in it and possibly add some veggies (no gelatin actually goes into preparing it). Personally I am not a fan of it, but it's quite popular here. Tho, hearing about the oyster and glitter monstrosities, I don't imagine it was edible in the slightest lol.
i wonder if she used lime jello
@@abiean222 It's not festive without kitty kibble...
It's Thanksgiving. I'm not American, but I'm sure you don't have something like that for an American event.
Yup I commented about холодец which is the Ukrainian variant. I remember the gelatin part came from the cartilage of the meat to give it that jelly texture. Basically when you boil cartilage which is what they use to make gelatin it should get thicker. I'm not a fan either but my mom is Ukrainian and loves it. We also have a similar dish across central Europe known as aspic. I believe it's popular in the region of Lombardy in Italy and across France. I haven't been to Lombardy in a hot minute so I have no idea and have never seen it in the south of France but hey, that's what Google says. Also the last time I saw this dish was when a friend of my mom from moldova made it.
@@Greatcelestialkaligo thanksgiving is typically a potluck dinner that has traditional food items, but like all potluck dinners it can having anything. so long as the food is edible, then its good.
Thanksgiving story: The second the mother chimes in defending the sister would also be the second BOTH of them were uninvited. Any additional family members who chime in defending them would also be uninvited. My house, my hosting, my rules. Don’t like it? Go somewhere else and host it yourself.
Also, personally I would rate the sister closer to 2.5/5. It’s much more malicious than stupid. She actively shoved herself into the event taking center stage and stealing OPs thanksgiving event. Then she got mommy to come to her defense and gaslight OP when she wasn’t getting her way. Mommy’s little princess a little shit who can’t take no for an answer.
I am so happy you posted the thanksgiving story. I had heard the start of it elsewhere and had been wanting an update
OP in the third story should've said after the sister stormed out "Alright, all of those who defended her and her cooking eat up. There's a lot of glitter and gelatin to go around. Everyone else, who wants ham?"
For all the family members who encouraged chef disaster.. they would have gotten plates of that mess and no emergency ham.. people could have really gotten salmonella from that trash.. sometimes you HAVE to to tell someone they’re making a huge mistake..
R Slash losing it is just perfect☠️ 5:02
Christ. Each time I hear about this abomination of a meal, I feel a bit sicker.
Story #2 - NTA, and I’m proud of this teenager’s maturity in this story. You know just how vile an adult is when they have to be scolded by a child for their bad behavior. I don’t know what lead to the half sister being taken in by CPS, but these grandparents need to learn to take responsibility for their own (grand)children, and stop whining and screaming like spoiled narcissists.
If they wanna be mad at someone, they should be yelling at their own son and new DIL for not taking responsibility for their own child.
I’m so happy you’re covering this Thanksgiving nightmare story 😂
11:08 i just want to know why op#3 is hosting family for thanksgiving when they’re not included in the FAMILY GROUP CHAT
The last story just told me I should stop eating breakfast during my morning rSlash watch.
No, no, no NO!!!! The sister deserves something like 4/5. Thanksgiving is a family holiday, where you are THANKFUL (hence the name) for what you have and what you are blessed with. The sister made this aaaaaall about her and her ambitions. She not only ruined the dinner for a bunch of people, but also served harmful food (that glitter is not safe to eat). And in the end, when nobody was impressed, but everybody had the decency of not calling her out (there was no "WTF is this shit, your cooking is worse than ass") she decided to blow up and leave, not wanting to eat her own masterpiece. The world does not revolve around you and your crappy cooking - 4/5
What gets me....is that she didn't stop to taste whatever she was cooking. Hell, most recipes out there usually have the line, "add ___ to personal taste." Implying that you should TASTE your cooking to ensure that it's edible and pleasant for your guests.
Also, there's a limit to "creativity" when it comes to food. What she made, could be classified as display dishes. Better yet, just keep her out of the kitchen.
Disagree. 4.9 out of 5.
The thanksgiving story it sounds like they should sign her up for Worst Chef in America. Maybe having professional chefs gag on her “experience” Will make her realize how inedible it is
I would’ve made the mom eat the sisters food.
“You told me to step back so go ahead and eat your words”
16:20 This is approximately where I would say "I'm thinking about grilling some steaks and chicken. Who's in?"
Unfortunately the Thanksgiving story was probably fake. Someone managed to get basically the exact same story out of ChatGPT. So that's probably where the original story came from.
Yeah I’m starting to think so too. It really takes a whole two weeks to decompress form a single day that the sister was in for like 2 hours?
That and OP promised to post pics of her sister’s food but it’s nearly two weeks since Thanksgiving and still no pics.
Where do you think ChatGBT takes from? It's source is reddit. Just like the new AI SORA managed to perfectly recreate and decided unprompted to put Marques Brrownlee's fake plant in a video about itself. Seriously check it out, it's creepy, but it shows pretty strong proof these things are fed off RUclips and Reddit and Pinterest (cause it's free)
@@Mario-SunshineGalaxy64 that, more then the "chatGPT managed to sh1t out a story just like OP's!" is whats convincing me that the story is fake.
Yeah, the ChatGPT things means nothing. The lack of pictures after pictures were repeatedly promised is the big red flag here.
That last story, this is why participation awards and golden child type stuff shouldn't exist.
Also, the sister deserves a score, but the mother and father deserve an even larger one for enabling her.
If I was op, I wouldn't have brought any food and let the parents lay in the bed they made.
A moment of silence for those turkeys who died to be ground up and turned into a jello mold
I like how, in the Thanksgiving story, sis literally said she is bringing EXPERIMENTAL dishes for the family to try. The whole point of an "experiment" is to try something and see where it goes. It might work out well; or, it'll not work out at all.
That's like bringing a science experiment to a science fair without knowing what the result of the experiment will be. DON'T DO IT!
EDIT: I don't think I've ever heard rSlash laugh more than during the Thanksgiving story. That was really funny hahaha
9:12 I’ll be honest. Op stressing to much. Lrt just get a foldable table for her food and still make your food. Isn’t it a good thing if there too much food at a thanksgiving. I got a pretty big extended family. We use to have like 30-40 people at my Mamas, she moved to Florida. So it only get about 10-15 big now. A lot of family moved in recent years.
I disagree about Thanksgiving sister. It's not ha-ha funny because she's a bad cook. It's yikes-funny because of how incredibly self centered she is. She was delighted to risk ruining everyone's holiday, serving them disgusting and inedible food, just to "have her moment." This probably manifests in lots of ways and the story illustrates how the family coddles and denies the problem. It's a lot bigger than Thanksgiving. I'd say 3/5 bh.
yeah, enabling bad behavior because its easier is one of the worst things about families.
@@abiean222 And for some reason that protection only ever applies to the people causing the problem not the people pointing out how its a bad idea.
BRO DID NOT JUST ASK HER TO ACCEPT 22.5 YEARS OF PAYMENTS 😭
The sister in the final story is the embodiment of "EVERYBODY'S SO CREATIVE!"
"She's trying to 'challenge our palates'."
To mortal combat?
My absolute favorite thing you do is, "THEN WHY DONT YOOOUUUU DO IT!'
15:27 I doubt that the sister tasted her own cooking, if she did needs to fix those broken taste buds
Last story, OP should have made her taste her own creations to prove a point
Bring back stories about Kevin, tech support, ahole tax, choosing beggars and feel good stories (we all could use some joy)
Those are hilarious
Don't forget tree law!
yes
Yes! And entitled parents!
@@lillyvaughn5398I really miss entitled parents
The sister ranting to the family about none of them supporting her, that they're not willing to expand their pallets and saying they'll regret, is just her trying to convince herself her crap is good!
I'm fully expecting your first piece of merch being a shirt with a deranged cartoon version of yourself yelling "Then YOU Do It!!"
1:43 Bold for someone old enough to have a 38 year old daughter to assume he’s going to live for another 18 years
Craft glitter in food is unforgivable. That's sharp plastics. That's gonna lead to internal cuts and the risk of ER visits. WTF is wrong with that sister?
We all have that one family member that wants to bring their own creations… my sister is that person. Having to lie every year to suit her emotions is getting old. No one wants to tell her she can’t cook but I’m tempted to tell her at the next gathering!!!
If you’re putting non edible glitter in your food and expecting people to eat it anyway, you’re a disgrace.
You misspelled "attempted murderer".
Cheap craft glitter sometimes contains small glass shards, because they "glitter" so nicely...
And feeding someone glass shards is an attempt to kill them.
Story 3
"1.5 out of 5 buttholes. It's more of a stupid moment than a butthole moment."
Nah, that was some high-key disrespect. If someone had the audacity to treat Me, My home, and My hospitality like that, they and anyone who tried to defend them would be out of my life immediately.
9:48 if I were OP I would tell my family that they can have their thanks giving at their sisters! I would NOT host it anymore
I would invite those, who want it traditional, but the rest (parents and sister) can eff off and have their Thanksgiving 😂🎉🎉
See the family needs to grow a backbone and stop protecting her feelings and tell her straight up “your food is not good”
The last story - OP should not serve *any other food* except her sister's creations. That would solve the issue once and for all.
Oh, and it did! :D
yeah. OP should have just passed the buck off to the sister. tell the family that sister is now hosting thanksgiving and cooking all the food. see how many people turn around and tell sister to shut up then.
Sounds like even Gordon Ramsay wouldn't even approve of this person's "unique cooking".
That last story was so well written and funny, and rSlash did a fantastic job on going with that flow. Loved it!
R/Slash. You should get merch going of your famous phrases. Like "Why don't YOU do it!" Or "Your money, your rules" "your body, your rules" or other phrases that are just iconic for you. I know for a fact I'd get stickers or a shirt of it immediately.
For the Thanksgiving story, what confuses me is that it seems that the sister never even ate her own food. If she can't stomach it, why does she expect other people to?
actually, by coments added by the op of that story, she eated loads of her own food, which brings the question, does she even have a sense of taste, smell or textures?, because probably she doesn't and that is why she thinks the other foods are "boring" because she hardly feels anything
edit: also the story might had been generated by chatgpt, since the last "update" was made 13 days ago, and the op of that story "promised" pictures of the food, yet nothing shown in 13 days(probably tried to make some AI generated images yet none felt realistic probably xD
@@cronft yep. Story’s fake. As far as I can gather, the story’s itself was spouted out with the same exact dishes by ChatGPT. The comments were also remarkably similar to what ChatGPT gave for a similar prompt (credits to u/DistressedDandelion for pointing this out):
The prompt was "answer to the following comment, to the point, promise to upload the photo at a later time, because you are still out" followed by the original comments OP replied to.
Comment:
Oh boy, I've been following this story and I can't WAIT to see these photos, commenting for later😂
I'm glad your family ended up having a good day!
OP:
I’m glad you’ve been following along, and trust me, the photos will be worth it. Today was definitely a wild ride, but in the end, we managed to salvage the day. I’ll post the pictures later when I’m back home-it’s going to be something to see.
ChatGPT:
Thanks for the support! I promise I’ll upload the photos as soon as I’m back home-trust me, you need to see them to fully grasp the chaos. Stay tuned!
Comment:
There has to be something wrong with your sister. Like I would’ve laughed in her face. Please post the pictures
OP:
Honestly, after today, I’m starting to wonder the same thing. The confidence she had in these dishes was truly something else. I managed to take a few pictures without being obvious, so stay tuned. I’ll post them when I get back from decompressing with my cousin. You won’t believe your eyes.
ChatGPT:
I honestly wish I had laughed, but I was too busy trying to figure out how to discreetly dispose of my "portion" without being caught. I promise I’ll post the pictures soon-there’s no way you’d believe it without seeing it!
Comment:
I just made my wife aware of this entire saga and now we're eagerly anticipating the photographs. I told her "Turkey gelatin mold" and she lost it.
OP:
The turkey gelatin mold is definitely the showstopper of this saga. I’m glad you and your wife are enjoying the chaos-it’s been a ride, to say the least. I’ll have the photos up later, and trust me, they’ll live up to the hype. Thanks for following along!
ChatGPT:
I can only imagine her reaction! "Turkey gelatin mold" really does hit a new level of absurd, doesn’t it? I’ll upload the photos as soon as I’m back-brace yourselves for the full horror!
Story 2: OP suggested that too.. It's crazy, they're showing they don't care but that they do at the same time. If you're so worried about her, take her in yourself. It's not that hard to file adoption papers.
3rd story: Usually I see this in cartoons but why don't the terrible cooks taste their food to make sure it's good?
13:59 i am literally laughing really loudly! What a disaster! Boy, the family sure learned!
In the last story the sister was at least right about one thing: It was an unforgettable meal.
Story 3: I feel like Op shouldn’t have made a big deal about the sister wanting to make food. Him trying to fight back made the sister not only double but triple down and he should’ve just let her make her one dish and let everyone hate it. Mom was crazy enabling tho
The last story is the prime example of:
Tell me you never taste test your own cooking without telling me you never taste testing your own cooking 😐
i think the sister needed to just throw her own crappy dinner party, rather than hijack thanksgiving 😭
That sister's food sounds like somthing my grandma would force me to eat to cheer them up, and then punish me when I use too much water to choak it down
The thanksgiving story is soooo famous...in a bad way. Betting sister never taste tested her own "creations".
Anyone else think the sister realized how terrible it tasted and was waiting for anyone to have a negative reaction? Just so she could give her little speech and leave herself and not have to eat the food? I would have packed it up for her and had Mom and Aunt (any of the supporters take it back to her later. Or maybe she doesn’t have any sense of taste…long COVID symptom or something else?
As I'm listening to the Thanksgiving food story all I can think is that this is a biohazard and it should not be consumed even by your worst enemies.
Plot twist: the thanksgiving sister is a multi media artist and sculptor who decided to add food as a working material.
That's the explanation that my brain found and tbh food in modern art is not that strange (banana duck taped to the wall anyone?) but most of the time both the artist and the public have the understanding that it's not something to eat. If it turns out that the sister has an office job, I would start to get worried.
For the Thanksgiving Food Story, I would have my cousin add me then say "Look, if you want to do all this, you can host thanksgiving, I will not be attending so everyone be sure to go to her place. Enjoy." The drop out of the group chat. If she wants to be the "Head Chief of Thanksgiving" and railroad OP likes this then she can host Thanksgiving and feed everyone her horrific concoctions and make those who though OP was blowing it out of proportion suffer for their idiocy.
Rslash slogan: why don’t YOU do it?! 😂
I swear as I kept listening to the story the part about the actual meal and what she served, the people's reactions, finally the aunt gagging, I just lost it and started laughing my ass off. I would have paid a thousand bucks to be a fly on the wall at that party
how bad can the food be, couldn't be worse than the mac and cheese story. (Gets to story) i was so wrong WTF thats not food
Except for the literal glitter it's technically food...
But so is a pork intestine smoothie...
Still doesn't mean it's tasty... Or edible without holding your nose...
Ahhh, the rSlash/Dabney war cry! "Then WHY. DON'T. YOU. DO. IT.???!! I absolutely love you for that!
Unfortunately the Thanksgiving Foos post is almost certainly made up. OP promised that she’d show pics of her sister’s dishes but it’s nearly been two weeks since Thanksgiving and there’s no pics anywhere. Guess the OP bit off more than she could chew with her creative writing project.
yeah, that whole story was super sus.
On the other hand, if it was made up why would she promise that?
That sister is gonna find herself in one of Auntie Tanara Doublechocolate's videos. The Internet keeps giving her "creative" material
Oh that Thanksgiving story. Jesus….
As far as I'm aware, ingesting glitter can be fatal. I'm not sure if it's to do with the digestive tract or if it's just the risk that you might aspirate some accidentally.
