Have you ever thrown away food that was offered to you in a kind and generous manner?

Say, for instance, someone asked you to taste their country's national dish, and just the sight of it made you mentally vomit. How did you get rid of it? The trickier the situation, the better.

"i ate right before i came"

"i have the flu i don't want to be contagious"

"i was just diagnosed with hepatitis and i can't eat heavy food"

"i'm sorry, my religion forbids me to eat __________ " (insert offending ingredient)

"does that have peanuts? i could die! im allergic to peanuts!" (replace with allergen of choice)

"wow, that's strange... are you sure it's safe to eat? swear on your mother..."

etc.

I have been offered to taste someone's cooking once, and chucked it out of the window because I had no other option. Throwing it in the bin wasn't an option because they lived in the same house as me, so they'd find out.

what?

if something is gross and I don't want to eat it, I just don't.

why do I need to throw it out a window or something.

Genteel Death · 10.06.2009, 08:52 AM

Because you are being polite and you don't want to offend?

it's to avoid bruising other people's feelings.

it doesn't much matter on the internet, but it's a big currency in real life.

right, so why the fuck are they being so rude and trying to make me eat gross shit?

works both ways.

Maybe in Australia you have a different ways of dealing with things. Maybe.

phoenix · 10.06.2009, 08:58 AM

no I just have friends who I can be honest with and if I don't want to eat their food I tell them.

Maybe in YOUR country you prefer being dishonest to someone's face.

Genteel Death · 10.06.2009, 08:59 AM

Who's talking about my friends?

convict-style. "you gimme food, i cut you!"

Genteel Death · 10.06.2009, 09:00 AM

Maybe Australians are slower at understanding things. Maybe.

Shouldn't that be the opposite? Why do you give me all these chances to think that you're a bit dim? Why, eh?
