This was the same scenario with The Brighter Side podcast network host Amber Nelson who was invited for a casual dinner by one of her friends.
She took to her Twitter page and shared a hilarious statement saying her friend prepared Penne alla vodka, a pasta dish, which she took a couple of servings.
“Got invited to someone’s place for dinner and they charged me for it….this is weird, right? This makes me not want to accept offerings in the future,” she tweeted.
However, after enjoying the meal, the American woman said she was shocked when her friend slapped her with a $17 bill (equivalent to USh 63,000) for home-cooked food.
Amber said she had nothing to do but to pay the bill and since then she hasn’t spoken to the friend again.

Below are some of the mixed reactions
The lady’s experience drew mixed reactions on social media with followers sharing similar experiences.
“Two very good friends planned a baby shower for me. A week afterwards, they emailed me the bill. For my own baby shower. Which they planned.” Gaelyn Cokayne said:
“If you invite me to your house, offer me food, and then demand I pay you for it, I’m keying your car on the way out.” Lauren said:
“If I invited you over and said “I’ll cook,” I would never expect payment. That was my choice to host. I would be thrilled if you brought a bottle of wine or a dessert. But if I was short on money, we’d have discussed it prior to the event and done a potluck.” Wan Kenobi said:
“Seems like a small price to pay to find out someone is not worth another minute of your sweet and precious time on this earth.” Keylea Champion said:
“This happened to me, the guy even wanted to charge us for the spices he used to make the food (he broke down the cost for us to see lol).” Eriina Ileen said:
Elsewhere, a Kenyan woman identified as Mkenya Sheila narrated that when she was pregnant back then in 2005, she sat in the living room one evening waiting for her housemaid to bring supper to the dining table.
At an indefinite time it felt like the food was taking longer than it should. She became curious and decided to get to the kitchen and investigate.
