My mom and her close friend often hosts these little social gatherings where everyone who’s invited brings a dish for lunch. (kind of like a potluck). My mom could not attend but my sister and I went anyway. Since I was too lazy to cook, I brought some chinese take out. So we get to the party and the ladies are talking in the kitchen. Someone was asking the lady who was hosting the party about a meal she cooked, and she commented on how she had learned to cook chinese food from a friend of hers. So I come in and I say, “Oh you cooked chinese, well I brought some chinese takeout.” Turns out she brought some takeout too. I put down the box of takeout in the kitchen right next to this plate of food and realize that they are both the exact same dish. This lady got exposed for passing off takeout as her own cooking in front of all her guests. I don’t think she will be inviting us back.
