In order not to offend the owners who have spent time and energy on cooking, it is worth acting more delicately.
Dissuade
Here are some phrases that can divert attention from yourself and not anger the owners:
- No thanks, I'm saving a place for another dish.
- I can't wait to try another dish!
- This ingredient is bad for me in my stomach, so I'd better abstain.
- It looks very appetizing, but I want to eat what I have on my plate for now.
- I am so full that not a single piece will fit into me! Thanks for a great lunch!
- I'll save it for the second run! (And then “forget” to eat this dish for yourself, or tell yourself that you overeat.)
Speak in a cheerful, cheerful tone, smile. And try to quickly pass a plate with an unpleasant dish to your neighbor.
Try just a little
If the hosts don't give up or you feel obligated, try taking a small portion of the unpleasant meal. Instead of saying no, put just a little bit on your plate. This will show respect for the person who prepared it. Sure, taking one slice of potatoes or one drop of sauce would be weird, but you can take one or two spoons.
If you do not like the dish at all, but you still want to finish the portion, try to "seize" it with something tasty. Or season it generously with sauce.
In the end, be kind
Don't be rude, even if you didn't like some of the dishes. When the hosts ask you how you like the (disliked) dish, focus on the positive side and turn the conversation to what you liked. For example:
- The dinner was excellent! Thanks for the invitation.
- Oh, I liked it the most … It was very tasty. But I never get it.
- I'm impressed with how carefully you planned your dinner. Above all praise!
Just don't mention the dish you didn't like and say what you liked, thanking the hosts for their efforts.
