I suspect that the hostess would learn nothing from the experience
unless someone spoke up and protested that they had been asked to bring
that item, or if she were to invite the snubee to another dinner and the
person or persons whose food had been rejected declined the invitation
and told them that the last time they did that they were offended by
being asked to bring something specific and were then told it was not
wanted because someone else had already brought something better <?>.
