See 1 Corinthians 8 through 10 for Paul's guidance. See also Acts 10, esp. 9–23, for Peter's vision.

If the food is to be eaten at home, there is no chance that scandal would be given. So tuck in.

And the fact that your son thinks it's ridiculous, unfortunately it's a sign that he's contaminated with worldiness. Even if he didn't agree, the fact that he considers this "ridiculous" means that he is of little faith. Sounds like both your son and the girlfriend are worldlings.

It must be great to be able to read minds, especially at such a distance!

I probably would have trashed the chicken later without saying anything to the girlfriend but it's your house and your rules. Your son was probably embarrassed but hopefully he'll come around.

Isn't such an offering a form of pagan worship, where the ancestors are asked to provide help and blessings to the family for the coming year?

He laughed and said that it was an "offering to the ancestors" for Chinese New Years. I blanched. I thought he was joking as he is apt to do. So I asked his girlfriend if this was true. She said yes, the friend's wife was Cambodian and there is a traditional ritual of making an offering to her ancestors on that day.

And that's just another reason why we avoid having non-trad friends these days.
