A Miserable Lunch

Three of us friends meet up regularly for lunch, occasionally out but most times we take it in turn to host the lunch at home. One of the ladies sometimes brings a fourth lady (I shall call her Jane, because that is her name) who is more of an acquaintance than a friend. When we do lunch it is nothing flash - I usually do a homemade soup, homemade bread & something sweet to follow.
Yesterday Jane invited us to her (rather nice) house) and we were all drooling over a lovely quiche she had just taken from the oven.
Guess what she fed us? We had beans on toast....one of those small tins of beans and one slice of toast each....we each had about 6 baked beans!
After we left we headed home via the chippie.
Stingy or what?

I Really Hope........

I am still gobsmacked that anyone would think one small tin of baked beans is adequate as a meal for four people

I am going to get shot down in flames here but could the fact that Jane is a Scot be relevant?

Or as Gran would say ... not enough to make a sparrow fart

PS Mrs O - colleague in Flamingoland going to Whitby for fish and chips tomorrow - asking for best place to go - any advice?

I wouldn't have the brass neck to:-

A) Serve beans on toast to guests, unless they were home made;
B) As a Yorkshire woman suggest Scots are stingy!

Weird isn't it? I've been invited to lunch before and given a boiled egg with half a slice of dry bread. Another time we were invited to a dinner party where the hostess had invited 12 and catered, in my opinion, for 4. Oh and the best was a Sunday dinner with loads of veg , gravy, but no meat at all -and no one said anything.

Well you don't have quiche hot anyway so you'd know that wasn't for you. But she should have stretched to 2 or 3 slices and a small tin each. That'll learn you to go to the house of an acquaintance of a friend, for lunch. What wine was served with it ?
