I (22F) was invited to a group dinner hosted by my friend Hannah (23F), who’s vegan. In the message she said, “It would be awesome if you all could bring plant-based dishes so everyone can try everything.” I didn't think it was a RULE, I saw it more like a suggestion.
I am from Chile and my friends love our food, so I decided to bring empanadas de pino (non-vegan) and sopaipillas con pebre, which are vegan. I made sure to put a visible tag that showed the vegan and non vegan food. (She didn't try none of the dishes I brought)
At the dinner, Hannah looked really upset and later texted me that I was really disrespectful for bringing animal products into her home. I apologized, but I also didn’t think it was a that big of a deal since I didn't force her to it and I brought a food that she could also eat. Also, mind you, we've already eaten non-vegan food there plenty of times, so I would've never guessed it would be such a problem.
AITA?
guys it was not a small dinner with friends, we were 27 people there and there were over 20 different dishes to choose from, with most of them being vegan
