Question

Answer 1

no. if u dont wanna eat dont eat

Answer 2

I would eat you until the last drop.

Answer 3

Yes you should eat some of it  to be polite

Answer 4

Too many people in society put pressure on their peers by treating eating as a social responsibility. The reason to eat is because you are hungry and need nutrition. If you are not hungry, don't eat; just explain that you are not hungry. Also do not feel pressure to eat items that you do not like. Again, eating is for YOU, not for someone else. Also don't feel pressured to "clean your plate". Eat as much as you feel you need and then quit, no matter how much is still on your plate. If you want to save it for another meal, fine, but if you do not don't overstuff yourself just because your plate wasn't empty.

Answer 5

It looks rude, but there are times when I have refused to eat when invited to someones place.

Keep some excuses handy so they don't bug you about it all night.

My 2 favs are

I am having an upper GI exam tomorrow and need to fast for 24 hours prior.

I just got over a stomach virus and anything I eat comes spewing back out in technicolor.

Answer 6

I never eat "things" I don't like.....but I'm a little more accepting when it comes to food.

Answer 7

Yes, it is kind of rude, unless you can believably fake an allergy.  The polite thing to do is take a little of what is offered and then eat most of it.  If you can fill you plate with things you do like so there isn't much room for the unliked item.  Or say you are on a diet and take a whole lot of salad, but not to much of the dinner item.

Answer 8

what are they serving? if its what i think it is, then you eat it all

Answer 12

no, never, ever, feel you have to eat it all... some people's food looks better then it taste... just put a little of everything on your plate, and avoid the stuff you don't like... if you're still hungry, get only the stuff you liked... if anything is mentioned, just say you weren't quite as hungry as you thought... your eyes were bigger the then your stomach... everything just looked so good, i guess i got too much, i'm sorry... all of the above is acceptable...

Answer 13

Answer 14

Yes it is rude, they prepared a meal for you and refusing it would not be nice at all.

Answer 15

u should always try a lit bit of it. and then if u dont't like it then leave it but eat atleast hafl of of. that manners right thurr

Answer 16

If you have a specific religious or dietary need then no.  Generally I will say I am coming over after dinner if I find myself in that situation.

Answer 17

you can nibble on some food you dont have to accept a big meal

Answer 18

You should always eat at least a little of what is served.

Answer 19

well you should to not insult them or you can make an excuse of why you cant eat it

Answer 20

yes you should eat all that is there

Answer 21

If you are invited for dinner,of course you will be expected to eat. That's a no brainer. Most people have more than one thing on the table to eat. Just eat something and don't make a big deal out of it.

Next time when asked over for a meal, ask up front what they are having. Then you can politely decline if you don't like it.

Answer 22

It is most polite to atleast try what is served, however, it is not rude if you do not eat everything, they will just assume you are a small eater.

Answer 23

Just try to be gracious.

Be careful, though - if you put it in a napkin, the dog could get to it and perhaps choke.

Answer 24

Just eat what you can and eat a little of the things you may not like they might be good...also i never eat the whole thing and I tell them that I don't really eat a big meal.

Answer 25

I've never had any that was bad yet!

Answer 26

I cannot imagine not eating every single drop. Perhaps it might be against etiquette, but I might be tempted to l**k the plate clean.

Certainly I would finish every drop of moisture I was offered.

I am, if nothing else, a polite diner.

ps. brat. when is my invitation?

Answer 27

I don't know that 'eat' is really the correct term...

Answer 28

It is considered bad manners; particularly because it makes people uncomfortable.

I'm not a big eater and I've found that if I accept what is offered without comment and nibble over time, I'm not offered seconds and no one really notices.

Just don't make a big deal about it and few, if any, will notice.
