Can We Agree to Disagree?

Why is this topic so controversial?

First, I am very much in the crowd as small as it may be, which states I respect your opinion, I truly do, can we move on now?

I said all of that because I was given a very large frozen ham over the Holiday’s. I asked a friend of mine to cook it for me. In return he could have a large portion of the ham. Fair enough?

Oh by the way, the friend asked how did I want the ham cooked? He is Cajun he cooks a lot, has a catering business, just surprise me. He almost did. The one ingredient I did not want was sugar.

More Ingredients?

Come to find out, he was going to add two more ingredients I did not want, honey and pineapples. I do appreciate, he is a good cook, and he was going to cook it for me. However, I disagree with the ingredients he was going to use to cook this ham. But I did have to let him know my preference.

Nearly everyone I talked to including my family, could not believe I just wanted a simple cooked ham. They would tell me, “You got to have honey, are you kidding me you must have pineapples, and a sugar rub”. It all sounded like a sugar rush, and a trip to the E.R. for me.
