Revenge is a dish best served cold—and u/coffeebeans2836 found the perfect dish to prove her point to her MIL.

Unlike a lot of people, I’m not picky and will eat just about anything that smells yummy. But I understand that not everyone has such a broad palette. My sister was always very particular when we grew up, picking the onions out of omelets and slathering ketchup on her otherwise dry cafeteria food plates. Bland and boring, I used to make fun of her dishes because it never occurred to me that she just liked food to be plain. Now, though, as an adult, it’s clear that there’s nothing wrong with having different tastes!
