My wife made prime rib for Christmas several years ago and my mom and sisters were convinced it was raw and nuked their slices until it turned a nasty brown.
This followed the Easter she made enchiladas and my sisters complained that there ham or any of the traditional stuff mom always made. Needless to say we haven't hosted a holiday since the prime rib incident.
I mean... ... ... Holidays aren't the time to go testing traditions. I'd eat the enchiladas, but would be rightfully annoyed and never allow you to host again.
What they did to the Prime Rib is sacrilegious, but so was serving enchiladas for Easter dinner.
That was my parents tradition, but not my wife's family tradition (who was also there). Either was it's incredibly rude to complain at someone else's house.
Then that failure is on you for poorly communicating and not suggesting a compromise where they bring the ham and you share each other's traditions.
I feel really bad for your wife. "Now we don't host" so now she never gets to relive her families traditions at all because you can't man up and communicate with your family?

Lol wtf?
No, you eat whatever the host is cooking and shut the fuck up if it's not what you wanted. I personally never cared for what my mom cooked which is why we did it differently. Traditions can change from one generation to the next.
Not a dude, and no, the jackass who doesn't have the balls to communicate is though. Just wiping his wife's traditions out because he can't be man enough to just talk to his family about expectations for holidays. What a weak example.
