Things MIL say... Share yours!

So my MIL and FIL were invited to my side of the families Christmas Eve celebration this year. We thought it would be nice to include them since it's their first Christmas with a grandchild, and we all get along very well.
Which makes me super disappointed to share this...
Apparently, MIL pulled DH to the side at some point during the night, and told him "what is this?" Referencing to the food we were having. Every year we switch up getting food catered, and this year we did Mexican food, which she hates and thinks is gross, but you can't make everyone happy!
She told DH, "what is this, it's disgusting, tomorrow I'll make you real food, not this garbage."
It hit a nerve, because we invited them over, paid for their portion of the game we play, waited an hour for them to arrive, while everyone else was on time, to start the evening, etc.
If you don't like something, fine, but at least be gracious! She is one who only thinks her cultures food is amazing, won't go out to eat, because her cooking is best, and nobody knows spices like her. Granted their food is good, but she's no award winning chef!
Please, share your version of "what MIL say!"

My mom says the most annoying tripe not my MIL.
Yesterday she was over with my Grammy and sister and I started nursing DD. She said,"it's so great that you can be the mom I always wanted to be and never could because we were living in so much evil."
Don't ask me what she means by that except that she only ever acknowledges her parental failings when she can lay the blame somewhere else or make excuses for it. If I want to talk about something that hurt me she changes the subject or denies that it happened. Thank God for therapy.
My mom didn't even see my dd today for her first Christmas. She lives 20 minutes from our house and 5 minutes away from my grandparents, where we were all day. I refuse to go to where she lives because she and her bff who she lives with smoke in the house. And have for 15+ years..like chain smoke. And my moms bff has two small dogs who aren't trained what so ever and they nip at people. When we were talking about how she wasn't going to see dd on Christmas she tried to make me feel bad for not going over there so I told her she's known since I was pregnant that I wouldn't go so she said
"yeah, but I figured that would change over time, it's not a big deal it's not like is smoke in the house while y'all are here,"
..are you kidding me? She keeps holding on to this idea that I'm going to wake up one day and change my mind about all my rules for my daughter. Like no giving the 9 month old diet coke, no smoking around the baby, no letting the baby chew your pill bottles, etc. she says crap like that all the time. Thank god for my wonderful mil lol
