    What were the calories and macros of this alleged pie? Can you provide the recipe? Was there any topping, like whipped cream or cool whip? Was the crust home made or store bought?

    Also, and this is very important, did the pie contain any diary products?

    I'm assuming your bf's father was upset that you brought the pie because you weren't asked to bring anything?

    I've been in weird situations (usually with female family members) when I've brought a dish to a party and wasn't asked. It's seen as offensive to some. Not sure why. I live in the south and sometimes women get territorial when it comes to hosting and serving food. The more food the better, imo.

    Chances are the father would have found anything to b!tch about. Your bf probably did try to defend you at some point but was unable to get a word in edgewise.

    I wouldn't worry about it. But if you see a future with this guy, I would seriously think about what you're getting yourself into.

    MFP does not provide a Macros pie chart so I cannot update you accurately until there is one. We can only hope for one at the next upgrade.

    Ask your SO what happened. Otherwise its obviously going to eat at you (since you've posted here) and there's no sense in letting it bother you. My guess is that his dad is a jack*** and your SO knows that when his dad is drunk that's its just better let him yell and ignore him.

    *Note: Anyone that gets angry about pie is automatically a jack*** in my book.

    That reminds me, I need more pie.

    Interesting angle though we did agree at Thanksgiving this would be my contribution and the SO's father does all the cooking not his mother. ( I understand where you are coming from I was raised in the south then transplanted to New England...)

    Thank you for your advice...I am thinking this over and thusly posting it here as part of my condsideration.. Right or wrong.

    Yep. If they can't appreciate your pie, just don't give it away.

    Never be associated with any family that yells about pie..ESPECIALLY pumpkin pie.

    So...with that being said...

    Just break up.

    If the father was drunk, and frequently gets drunk, probably the family tunes out whatever he's b!tching about and don't fight with him no matter what the subject. That's just what people do to ranting family drunks.

    Probably the best answer here, IMO. Have you been around his father when he was drunk on several occasions? I have to assume your SO knows from experience that the best way to let things blow over is not to say anything at all. I'm sure it felt like some kind of betrayal, but he was probably watching out for you the way that would work out best for everyone involved.

    Seriously, though, why not ask him? He's the only one who can give you the real answer.

    You're so right...I did ask him. He has no answer or, son't give one. I have never seen his father 100% sober. Which, at this stage of the relationship I am questioning why if my BF and I have talked about this why he didn't stick up for me or at least remind his father what was discussed as a family what was to be brought to Christmas.

    Christ, I could have kept the pie for myself. It was spectacular and not deserving of a blowhard drunk for sure.

    Thanks for your help, advice, concern and jokes everyone. Happy New Year!

    Your SO probably didn't want to make a scene/cause a problem on that special day.
    I wouldn't look to far into it.

    You should always be able to stand up for yourself anyways.
