Exactamundo! Why the hell did she ask then announce it? That's very rude.

I do, however, make pork tenderloin brushed first with Dijon mustard then
coated with whole wheat bread-crumbs mixed with garlic, sage, salt & pepper.
I'm not a fan of prepared mustard (or any "condiments")...but this isn't
that bright YELLOW stuff <gag>. Honestly, if no one asked they wouldn't
even know I'd lightly brushed it with the Dijon first. It's delicious
Not saying you'd have to eat it... just pass the plate.

She was rude, no doubt in my mind.
