would you be disappointed

Yes, kind of, if I was looking forward to them eating it. Especially, if they were invited by me, or my husband to eat dimmer with us.

Hello dear rhane. I think that I would be a little bit disappointed if my guest does not like the food prepared for him or her,especially when it takes time for the food. But I never disappoint my host when invited to a friend's for dinner. I will try to eat everything prepared for me to show my gratitude to the host.

I know it is not nice to have such feeling but I still would feel a bit disappointed if a visitor doesn’t taste the food served. Since childhood I was cultivated to eat at least a little of the food when served if I was a visitor. My mom told me this was the basic manner of a visitor to pay respect to the host. So when visiting a friend I always drink the beverage and eat the food served. I will express my appreciation if the food prepared is really delicious.

I am not very sensitive about it, considering the fact that they might eaten already and they are really full before coming over!But, in my case, I always eat or taste whatever is served to me!

I wouldn't be disappointed if my guests didn't eat the food that I gave them. The reason for this is the I am a very fussy eater myself and that I would understand how they feel. I prefer to prepare my own food than have another person make a meal for me to eat. I like the sound of the kindness and hospitality given and I notice that the visitors must have felt bad about leaving the food.

Hi rhane. Yes and in this point your mom is right. This kind of people that do this is not polite. When I'm invited to dinner I always eat the food and eulogize it (likewise if I don't like it) because this person had work to make the food and the least the guest can do is eat. None go to die if eat something that they don't like and it is better than offend the host.

I don't think it's rude to not eat something. I wouldn't want to force myself to eat something I don't like or if I'm not hungry. I know a lot of older people feel it's rude but I just don't think it is. I think it's rude to expect people to eat just because you want them to. LOL

might be this will be the feeling of some but in our country even we don't like the taste of the foods but because is heartily serve we must put a respect to the owner of the house. we eat a little and leave the house.

I would be a little disappointed, but it wouldn't really bother me too much. Some people simply have food allergies, are on a diet, or have a distaste for certain foods. I would never try anything including meat since I am vegetarian. I hate ocra and lima beans, but if a meat-free dish contained those veggies, I would at least taste it. If they were outright rude in rejecting the food, that's different, but if they politely declined, I wouldn't worry so much. It's never okay to be rude!

I was raised that it is polite to eat the food offered when you are at someone's house. When someone doesn't eat food offered at my house, i sometimes wonder if they think they are better than me and my family.

No i wouldn't because when we have people over i always cook too much and to many different dishes (no one could possibly eat some of everything). Also you have to take into consideration that some people have food allergies. my son is allergic to all nuts(including peanuts)which a lot of dishes have in them,he also until recently could not tolerate wheat(flour)or beef. He still has a horrible reaction to all seafood. He is always prepared with an allergy shot in case he gets a hold of something that will kill him and benadryl for the slighter allergies that only makes him itch. So no disrespect to the hostess but we are VERY carful with what he eats(never again do i want to see my baby hooked up to machines to keep him breathing). Also there are just some things that people just plain don't like. Would she really want a guest to try to eat something that they had to gag to get down? Or worse -send them to the hospitial? She might want to take a look at this one from a different angle.

Yeah, I think that I would be very much disappointed. If they don't like the food, at least I hope they taste it. Or they could at least tell me the reason why they didn't eat the food. Maybe they have allergies or something. I would understand...
