Will you ? Eat the food your friend cook for you although......

Normally not, I'm terrible at pretending I like stuff I don't like, and if it's something I don't eat there's no chance I'll get it down.

I am honest to my friends and so if I we're to taste any food that lack taste for example, I would tell them right there. But of course it is how you say it that matters so I will definitely tell them in a nice way so that I would not make them feel bad on the food that they have cooked.

Yeah, I done it many times just to make my friend feel happy and i eat food even i do not like the taste since i do not like to insult her and so when the same things happen to me, I myself do not like my cooking styles being criticized since it is a labor of love and no matter how it ends it is still food which i cook personally meaning it is special unless the cook is not good still I would still pretend since i do not like to hurt her feelings.

I will tell. And try to make suggestions, the next time i need to eat it. We cannot always have our way. And the worst of it all, i am very fussy when eating. TATA.

Well,this depend on what kind of friend! If he/she is my good friend,I will be honest and tell him/her what I fell about the food; if only my general friend, I would not let him/her down,I haxe to consider hie/her feeling. But I think that since he/she cook for you,he/she should be happy to accept your suggestions,no matter good or bad.

I will definitely take the food. As long as they are making effort to cook something for me, I must show my appreciation for their effort. No people can make success in their first attempt, if we refuse to eat, i may hurt them. to be a friend of ours, we need to learn thanksgiving and respect others.

Hi friend It is really tough to pretend that you like the food but being a friend it is something that you have to consider before you make some comments. What I would do is that I would taste the food but politely tell him/her that it doesn't taste that good and some improvements can be made so that the next time I taste it, it would already be a nice recipe. I am sure that our friend would understand and appreciate the criticism. Deep inside, he/she would be expecting a praise from us but also he/she would be expecting us to tell the truth about the taste of the food. Regards

hello cloud, I know this is hard since we never knew if we will be offending or hurting our friend's feeling. But i had real experience like this. It was my first time to have dinner at my Indian friend's house. We knew that Indians like their foods to be cooked a bit hot and spicy. But,i think my friend(Indian)knows that we (Filipino)were not used to eating same hot and spicy foods as they are. So,when it is time to eat,the foods look very tempting. I took only small amount of each food to try the taste. Then,sister Ajitha asks me why...and i told her,"i am not used to hot and spicy food" and she says..."ohhhh,yah,i know about it so i just put a little spice dear" ok...i spoon out the food and put inside my mouth,and realize how hot it is. Funny...but i never offended them...instead we ended up laughing when i ask for some sweets after that one feed of spoon(hahaha) It's still hot even if she(sister ajitha) reduce the usual ingredients she put into their dishes. I think it is always better to tell the truth...

Ummmmmn.. it depends upon the situation. If you think that your friend can accept your criticism then tell the truth but if he/she can't then better have to pretend and eat the food.. LOL

hi cloud, yes, i will told her that the food she cooked was not that good, but i will still eat it as not to waste her effort in cooking for me, but still i will told her in a nice way that she would not be offended,something like this " this is ok except a little bit salty or overcooked, next time put less salt".and then ill give her a big hug, and thank her for cooking foods for me.

hi! of course I will do it, because i don't want to insult him/her if I refuse to eat it. And by the way there is almost nothing that I can't eat, because I like all kinds of food and I am not allergic to any meal. By the way, once I even have drunk salted coffee, because a girl-friend of mine has made a mistake and instead sugar, she putted some salt in my coffee, but I have drunk it, because didn't want to make her feel stupid. that's why are friends for, right?

Well yeah I have done it. My ex cooked some kind of fish at Valentine's day. I don't eat fish at all.. But at that night there was not a single leftover at my plate, just because I wanted to make her happy.

Hi cloud31. Well firstly it depends on how close I am to that friend. If its a good, very close friend I'll just be honest with her/him. After all, best friends, close friends should know you well enough to a point you are comfortable tell them "I don't like this' Tell him/her nicely, and don't forget to tell them how happy and grateful you are for them cooking a meal for you. In any case, sincerity is the best policy. They may feel disappointing and anticipate them to feel that way. Don't be overly defensive and start saying "Atleast I am eating your food even though I dislike it" However, I will still eat or atleast taste the food. If I think there's no way I can eat a lot of whatever she/he cooks, I'll ask for a smaller portion. Have a nice day!

Well, for me, I'll certainly just eat anything my friend has prepared for me as long as it doesn't kill ^_^ However, later on (few days after the meal) I'll reveal my taste to him/her so next time I won't have to do the same pretending.

Well maybe I will pretend I like it even if I don't. If only for his effort and kind thought then maybe I would eat just a little then pretend I am already full and would just eat later. It would be very unkind to tell her bluntly that the food does not taste good. But if she will ask my opinion about the food, I would tell her very nicely how to improve the taste. I would say, my dear you can improve the taste by adding this and that and so on and so forth.

Well, all depends on how close my relationship with that friend. If she is my close friend, i will honestly tell her how bad the food taste and how poor is her cooking skill. I want to help my best friend and avoid her to be humilated in front of other people. I want to give good advice so that she can improve and develop better cooking skill. Whereas if that person is just normal friend, i will keep my mouth shut and finish all the food on table despite not delicious. If she ask me how the food taste, i will keep quiet, not comment anything and give a big smile. I need to respect her and appreciate her cooking since she had put so much effort to prepare the meal.

On top of being a vegeterian, I am a picky eater so I've been in that situation more than a couple time before. I usually eat as much as I can bear without complaining to be polite, but I usually end up leaving half of what I was served or so. I take that as a way of letting the person know I'm not a big fan of that particular dish.

I think i'm a lucky person, because all cook made by my friends are delicious. All my friends are a good chef. They always can make a delicious cook. But, if i experience that, maybe i will pretend that her/his cook is delicious. I just dont want to make him/her feel that their work is not appreciated. So even if the food is not too delicious, i will try to eat it all. I always want to make my friends happy ^^

I would pretend i like the food if she really cook it for me,its not good feeling to offend a person especially those who care!
