a while ago i went over to my boyfriend's place for dinner. he lives with his parents and his mother cooked a meal, but they're not exactly familiar with vegetarian food. so the meal was good, brussels sprouts, potatoes, mushrooms in some cream sauce. too bad i have some mushroom phobia (the texture makes me want to puke) and his mother poured meat sauce all over the potatoes. it was very awkward to get my plate for a second, thank god it wasn't the first time i stayed for dinner, i just politely told her i was sorry but couldn't eat the potatoes and ate my sprouts (which i loved). she apologized and offered to make me an omelette, and everything turned out well.
seriously, if you don't want to eat something they serve you, try taking one bite or just say politely: "i'm very sorry but i really can't eat this food, it's ok, i do appreciate your effort"
