What is your opinion on this?
I think that there is a " Seinfeld " episode which touches on a situation like this .

George `s parents brought an item to a dinner with the parents of George`s girlfriend of the moment .

It wasn`t served and George`s parents wanted it back ........

I`m sure several who read this will recall that episode .
