Briefcase Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 The only rule I can think of and this might be because I am a fussy eater (sometimes) is when someone cooks for you (e.g mum in law)Â but doesn't actually tell you beforehand what they are cooking, then when you don't like most of it and don't eat much you get funny looks and questions. It's not quite as bad if food is in the middle of a table and you take what you like, its when its just put onto your plate. I've had some terrible experiences with various ex girlfriends parents, family etc. I hate to waste food as well, so its awkward on a few levels.

Paid Members gmoney Posted February 15, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted February 15, 2020 (edited) Nothing tastes so bad that you can't force yourself to eat it out of politeness, I reckon. Doesn't apply if your vegetarian, have allergies etc. Edited February 15, 2020 by gmoney Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where are you going that what you’re eating is a secret? Also, could you not just say “Oooh, this looks nice. What is it?” I agree with @gmoney most things can be scranned if necessary...except a big plate of rollmops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give me a plate of chopped tomato and I might know that physically it’s going to do no harm but psychologically the thought of eating it repulses me on every level. I am lucky to have the luxury to be so shit and reject food like that, but it would (and has) probably take a bit more than politeness to force me into it. I’m better than I used to be, but I recommend nobody be like me when it comes to food. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members air_raid Posted February 15, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted February 15, 2020 I’m another that is on edge with unwarned feed. An ex’s mother once did me a bacon sandwich without the warning of no butter and when I took the first bite my gag reflex triggered immediately.

Paid Members ElCece Posted February 15, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted February 15, 2020  Around about the 3rd or 4th visit to my now Wifes parents her dad made a Mousakka. By the looks of it I was expecting a shepherd's pie, when I chopped into it I got the nasty surprise of an Aubergine. Of course forgetting my company I chirped up with "Aubergine you are having a fucking laugh". Fortunately they found it funny, still rightly getting ribbed for it when her dad makes any dish remotely exotic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Danger Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 My Nan had one rule and one rule only when it came to food, if you asked for it you'd eat it all. Explains why I'm a big ol' bear. Not a rule I've passed down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Accident Prone Posted February 15, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted February 15, 2020 I saw a guy at work last week sprinkle a tablespoon of powdered hot chocolate all over his Rice Krispies. Criminal behaviour. He should have his harddrive checked immediately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
