  • Guests are increasingly likely to bring a bottle of olive oil - or something likely to last more than the evening.

The article from the Daily Mail discusses a controversial dinner party incident where a guest, identified only as 'J', brought a bottle of olive oil as a gift, which was deemed inappropriate by the host and other guests.

The incident sparked a debate online about dinner party etiquette, with opinions split between those who found the olive oil gift rude and those who thought the host's reaction was overly critical.

The discussion highlighted differing views on what constitutes an acceptable gift for such occasions.
