What would you do if somebody had prepared a wonderful dinner for you but cooked something that you hate?

If it was something I don't eat from ideology, like hunted animals, I would not eat it and probably leave. If it was just something I do not like, I'd eat it. If it was something that really makes me throw up, like Roquefort cheese, I wouldn't eat that plate, but I am pretty sure there would be something else, or I could just wash the Roquefort sauce off or something. But I'd make a joke out of the situation, I wouldn't make the person sad.

I hate lamb eeewwww lol (can't even smell it)

I'm allergic to it :p I would say I'm sorry I can't eat that stuff thanx anyways :)

? ? ? I. A. ? ? ?

Well, I already experienced this kind of situation, and , as other people above wrote, I had to pretend having some allergy ( for instance, I hate dishes like "iskembe" and can't stand the smell of sausages ).
In other dinners, I also was disappointed seeing shellfish, because that's something absolutely disgusting ,for me. The taste doesn't even matter, in fact the mere view of these insect-alike creatures is really scary, and I refuse to swallow that.
Other than that, I also have been, a couple of times, in strange situations, such as a dinner with pork, as the new conquest was apparently unaware of my being a practicant ( at least concerning the unauthorized food ). I just told her that I couldn't eat and wouldn't want to eat this kind of meat, and then she understood and apologized of course.

Somebody who cares to prepare such a wonderful dinner and such a romantic ambiance, cannot ignore your likes and dislikes.
I am a vegetarian as well, and everybody inviting me knows that, but even if they failed to remember, there's always the solution of the others dishes - salads, pasta etc - unless you are invited by Greeks or Turks, when all the dishes will be meat, and meat, and again meat....

hanibal

I must eat it.

Tell the guy you are allergic to whatever he cooked and eat a lot of bread and salad...

I mean; a lot.....

Totally Blunt

There is hate and then there is hate.

If it is something I simply dislike, I eat a little and help myself more salad and such.

If it is something I can't eat if you beat the hell out of me, I simply say the truth. Allergy is a good excuse, but if the host/ess is close to you, a lie can bite your a** later.

Dellarovere, you can invite cinderella for dinner and eat your vegetables. As for me, being a Cypriot, I am omnivorous lol.
Anyway, I think it is better to tell the truth in a gentle way, and fill yourself with the side dishes. I personally would not say I 'hate' a certain dish, but I would just taste it and continue with the other things on the table.

Well, I'm a vegetarian for more than 10 years now. I ate some meat for the first time after 10 years. Just because someone who didn't know I was a vegetarian prepared a meal with meat for me. I ate it. Don't ask me how though. I really don't want to remember that day! :p

Well it did happen once?
Was invited for dinner by a good friends, him and his wife prepared dinner with whole meal pasta.
It was to us disgusting, we ate the parts that were not so bad,then apologized that we had left a lot.
Just we were not so hungry, so bought JFK, on the way home.
Well felt guilty, but can not eat some thing that I don,t like.

Ok let's clear it up a bit. There are un-enjoyed food groups for me:

1-Not enjoy it but don't mind to eat.
2-Eat only in hard situations
3-Only not to die out of hunger

If it is something in first two groups,it's ok. But if it is from the third; i'd go with the wine only .

Yes my friend invited me and she forgot that I didnt eat pork and cooked. she was so sorry about it but it was too late. I ate only salad and bake potato.

I don't think anyone will die by just eating it once!
My Greek friend once prepared a goat's head which is a specialty and needs a lot of preparations to be cooked. Eating it was ok but when he told me that the eyes were especially good and served them to me, I almost got sick but out of respect for him I ate it anyway and I am still alive!
In the end, showing respect is more important than being selfish and you should always remind yourself when eating things like that!

If someone prepared a wonderful dinner just for even if the meal i hate they cooked,i would just eat it to not wreck the dinner we're having,if someone does me a favour i appreciate it alot,i wont make a big fuss about it.

musicman47

I think I would at very least try it.

The Broken Gentleman

A lot of people know that I'm not picky with what I eat... There are very few foods that I dislike... Maybe I would try a little... Besides, It was prepared for me... I don't want to be rude...

zuleha-in rebellion

I wouldn't be rude-I'd eat it but...I would fill my plate with whatever else was on the table and take just a little of the stuff I hated and would hope nobody would notice.

Ibrahim J

As an African I would manage it andshow that I am appreciative and will later in the cause of our relationship try as much as possible show him/her my favourite. Not there and then.

asdfag.,,df

eat it prob...can't be too bad...haven't met too mnay foods that taste bad.

Devoted

I've had this happen twice- one was a guy and I just didn't eat. Plus, I didn't like him anymore because I thought it was thoughtless of him to not try to find out what I would like/dislike before hand. The 2nd time was when a pregnant friend of mine cooked dinner for a bunch of us- and I just talked and laughed alot and pushed my food around on my plate and tried to make it work.

You might tell him/her that you are allergic to something in xxxx or you could drink a glass of wine and take a bite or two of xxx and be full.

Or, you could just eat it anyway. Perhaps their recipe would make it taste fabulous.

Or, you could be selfish and inconsiderate and tell them that you hate xxx and won't eat it.

As for me, I would eat it unless it was against my religious beliefs. For example, I don't believe in eating food additives like msg, high-fructose corn syrup etc., but when I am a guest of someone I will do it even though it is against my way of living. Those people who know me well would never offer "fake" food to me.

Regardless of what you do, let them know that you appreciate all of their efforts.

Irmak

I would eat it ;-)

Scott C

Eat it and smile at you!

amy.

i would eat a couple of mouthfuls and then kinda distract the person..like if it was my boyfriend. i would try and take the attention away from the food. and maybe start kissing him or something. but if i was with a group of people. id eat a bit and say that i was reallllly full.

memrey

Guest would eat whatever he found not him expected
ceviri igrenc olmus olabilir:)

hip lady wants YA fixed

eat it anyway out of respect for the person who cooked it unless it is shell fish. I'm allergic to it.

godiva

eat it! don't be rude!

val f1 nutter

oh dear, what a dilemma. I would try my hardest to eat quite a bit of it. Luckily for me the people who do cook for me know what I like. when I first went to Turkey to visit my in-laws they always asked my hubby what I would eat. he said I wasn't afraid to try anything, but they still asked if I would like what they were going to cook.

Estrella E

I would kiss the ground they walk on. There's nothing I hate more than combining food. I mean, cooking food.

emiliosailez

Depends on who did the cooking and your relationship to him/her.
If she were young, beautiful and rich I would eat it!
