But us it the main meal?
Duly noted
yeah but would you ask them to bring the main meal? LOL
I'd assume you would need more than 1 chook for 4+ adults.
I understand why your frustrated but unless your willing to talk to them about 'the rules' id just accept it is what it is and possibly not offer in the future if it comes with certain standards (not being rude just couldn't think of a better way)

Completely off topic, but I keep thinking about people saying one chook would not feed 4 adults. We normally eat a roast chook (with potato, vegies and or salad) at DH parents on a sunday and that one chook feeds 8 adults and 4 kids so to me it is very much possible that the chook is the main part of the meal.
Sorry completely off track.

I just have to say....
that's impressive..... you must be small eaters though.... cause DH, DSD and I will eat half a chicken between us.... so I too could imagine 4 adults....
but 8 adults and 4 kids..... that's not a lot of chicken..!!!!

I don't think a chicken is a whole meal. There's surely going to be other things served with the chicken and as someone else mentioned, I'd rather be asked to pick up a chook (which can be done on the way there) than have to prepare a salad. And by the time you buy all the bits and pieces to make a salad, you're looking at the same cost anyway.
I do get your frustration at them not contributing when the situation is reversed, but I think you've put yourself in this situation. In future don't offer if you're unhappy it's never reciprocated. Or flat out ask them to bring something next time, don't wait for them to ask (or not ask as the case may be).
