It’s an old saying that mothers and grandmothers know best in the kitchen. They’ve had years of experience, have their signature dishes, and could execute them with their eyes closed. Admittedly, some might have some questionable cooking tactics.
Like this MIL, who had a very particular way of making goulash and was micromanaging her SIL in the kitchen. Fed up with the controlling behavior, the guy decided to follow her strange request of putting pig fat that had gone bad in the dish. He then shared this story online to illustrate that sometimes ridiculous requests require equally ridiculous revenge.
The son-in-law in question, the user u/Itchthatneedsscratch, kindly agreed to have a chat with Bored Panda. He told us the reasoning behind sharing this story online, what the relationship with the MIL was like before this, and what we could all learn from this about dealing with difficult people.
