When you eat food that tastes bad, do you say, "Yuck!" or just stop eating?

I say "I think it's bad" Then I stop eating it. It is easy enough to find something better. It could be spoiled. If it is just bland I may try and spice it up a bit. No use letting food go to waste.

An interesting topic... Most of the time, I would just drop my eating utensils (or use them elsewhere). Other times, I would start a search for other foods that I could eat, but I only do this if I know that food is in the immediate vicinity (I am kind of lazy). However, because of my strange gut instinct about which food to eat, I don't usually come across this scenario. You could be better off with a more "experienced" point of view.

I would just stop eating it...But it would be good to be a kid sometimes and just blurt out whatever you think...

I don't really mind bland. Bland's OK to me. But if I don't like something, I usually try to be polite (considering how alot of people are high strung about their cooking around here!) and say, "I'm sorry it's just not to my taste." *glance around if anyone else is eating it and smile* "I'm glad others like it though, I can tell you put alot of effort into it."

My parents told me that saying Yuck and such tings is like disrespecting food. So I do not make such noises, but make a bad expression on the face and just leave it off. Food gives us the life and it shouldn't be disrespected. Our face has so many muscles, so I make extensive use of them to make facial expressions to express disgust. With food, I just let go off it and do not eat that. Instead I try to find something more tastier to eat. bourne

we got a cereal that tastes like packing material and I'm the only one who really eats it, I just kinda snack on it :P its flavourless, but its ok when I just want to sit there munching

If I am by myself, I don't say anything but make a face. Even when I am in front of my kids I don't say anything, as I know how kids have a tendacy of not liking something because a parent says yuck!! I will stop eating and find something else to eat.

It depends if I'm in front of the one who made the food! : ) If I'm in someone's home and it tastes bad, I'll try to eat one more bite, just so I'm not obvious, and then I'll move on. If I'm in a restaurant with family or friends I may make a comment. But even then I would try to not say anything in front of the waiter or waitress. I don't know why not though. It's not like they cooked it, they just serve it. They might not like it either!

I think I just stop eating and find something else to eat. This comes from having a mom who was very sensitive to this type thing. Not only would I have never said something tastes gross, or "yuck", I would most likely act like there was nothing wrong with it and pretend to just not be hungry. Dumb, I know. I have grown up to be a lot more honest with my feelings about such things.... but I still think I would just not say anything and find something else to eat.

Hi BeautyQueen, I will add something to spice the tast up a bit if at home or if in a restaurant will complain and ask for a different dish. Yuck just about covers it. Huggles. Ellie :D

hi beauty queen I am elderly so I can get by with yuck thats gross and nobody bats an eyelid, hehhehe. I usually get up and find some pepper, and maybe some herbs or Mrs.Dash anything to 'get some flavor. a lot of times the food is just not seasoned, not really bad just not flavorful at all. If its really just bad food Iwill find something else to eat.

I would probably say "That's disgusting!" depending how shocked I am about the taste. I hate it when something looks really tasty but tasty nasty!! I would stop eating the food that didnt taste nice and eat the rest.

Hahaha if I taste food thats doesnt taste good I usually say ew! then stop eating it, but I try not to say anything if I'm in the company of others or if someone else prepared the food for me.

I say that is just nasty and my grand-daughter says she is 6 that is just disgusting.
