Polite Dinner Conversation

"Eat everything or little kids will DIE [somewhere I never heard of]"

"I did not say we would have yellow lentils with dinner tonight!"

"Yes, you did."

"No, I did not!"

"Yes, you did."

"Stop it and eat your lentils...ugh, I mean soup""

"hehehe..."

Please DO NOT wash your feet in the soup.

Thank You

But there's feet already in it.

Peanut soup, I love it. But they can hold the chicken feet.

I don't even know what to do when I'm at someone's table and they serve me fish with the head still on.

I immediately feel ill. I can't bear to look at it, let alone take even one bite.

Doesn't make for polite dinner conversation when you scream "This damn thing still has it's head!"

When I was a kid we were over at someone's house and they served tongue sandwiches. Tongue. With visible tastebuds.

I was told I had to eat it, which wasn't happening. So I quietly wrapped it in a napkin and stuck it in the pocket of my hoodie. Tossed it in the trash later.

Would you pour me some more cabernet, please?

Yes, Absinthe. Lengua. It's common.

Doesn't mean I'm gonna eat it though. Nope.

Nor cabeza. That won't be happening either.

Sorry but I'll be impolite before I'll knowingly eat some stuff.

"Excuse me, won't you? I suddenly remembered that I must... umm... have to... so sorry... forgive me... bye bye"

Door slams behind me.

What Mother? Why yes...contrary to the tastes of every 7-year-old in western civilization I look at the prospect of beets on my plate as a delightful journey into a child's culinary...(voice starts to trail off in mumbles - bleaching effect begins as the blood drains...)

(plate arrives, with beets)

...maybe we should say our prayers before we start.
