I was invited to a friends house for dinner to meet her parents that were visiting. She told me her Mom cooked all day and wanted the meal to be special. Everything was going great until we sat at the table to have dinner. Her father served the food and put this big heaping spoonful of food on my plate. I did not recognize what it even was

it was so gross!



What would you do in this situation? Would you keep eating the food as to not embarrass yourself or insult the Mom?



I'll tell you what I did after I hear some of your replies

Either say that you're alergic to some ingrediants, like Mike said, or turn the topic of disscussion to food and talk about improvments to the meal.
 
Few more responses and I will tell you what I did

I'd eat everything else on the plate and then say I'm full.
 
I would have picked around at it and talked, so they might have though I was talking instead of eating. lol.



I can be mean, I just don't like being mean when it comes to food... :S

There was only one heaping spoonful of food on the plate and nothing else.

Then what would you have done or said?

Something along the lines of I'm sorry I really don't like this.

Wouldn't that be rude and really hurt the Moms feelings after she cooked this special dinner?

No. Tastes differ, 'sides I'm mental.

I really doubt I'll end up in a situation like this any time soon though...

Great tip, I'll try it someday and I'm sure it'll come handy.
 
eat the rest and just fiddle with it.........



no way I would hurt someone's feelings as everyone to their own taste.
 
Guys, there was nothing else on the plate. There was just one huge scoop of some kind of food.
