Bro. This depend on the kind of food...eat otherwise in a hotel, restaurant. when she serves The food just ignore it on the table and go to bed. When she ask you just tell her you lost appetite.. Or you were chating on phone you forgot your food nd dosed off.. But deep inside you were'nt ready for tetracycline, flygyl or andrew liver salt.

Na by force to eat food ni? I'll simply tell her I've already eaten outside or I don't have appetite.

I have cause to visit Lagos in order to secure the bail of a younger one who got into trouble. My cousin who stays in Lagos insisted I stay with him. He has a wife and 3 kids.

The problem now is that I don't think his wife knows how to cook!! I have had running stomach eating her food since 4 days ago. I tried to turn down her food last night but it didn't go well as she pleaded with me to eat which I did. I had stomach upset through out the night. I just can't imagine eating her food again till I leave.

Please how do I refuse her food without sounding offensive??

Some people don't know how to cook.
They can't fry oil.
The add water first to a pot that nothing gets done before they serve it.
Chai..

Always come with your own food for her to see.

Is it that the food is not sweet, you are allergic to the food or you are being served leftover food that was poorly preserved? I'm guessing you eat same meal with other occupants of said house.

I usually don’t care how u feel if I don’t like ur food I won’t eat it and that’s it. I’m that sensitive bt if circumstances warrant me hiding my actual feelings or actions I will take the food go to my room or anywhere else and throw it away. End of story. If not I will just have to offend u. Sorry

These ones are the worst. I went to my uncle’s place the other day and his wife served me rice and stew. The tomatoes was separating from water and oil. I can manage a bad soup, but never a bad stew.

@Sermwell, maybe it is the seasoning. Too much or just too different from what you are used to. Very spicy (peppery) food too could cause purging.

The food you ate might not be due to her method of cooking but perhaps the food is poison. We all heard the diff method many foods are preserved, if they are stored food esp beans, flours, rice etc are being poisoned in the name preservation

You don't really need to refuse her food

Just get tetracycline and flagyl on hand, once you eat you taje your drugs
Drugs are not chocolates!!!!You didn't even think of the side effects of taking those drugs regularly haba.

She might not be a bad cook after all, maybe she cooks something different from what your system is used to. But you can actually tell her you're on a diet and don't eat much or everything.

Goodluck

Diplomatically ask her whether she uses maggi for the soup and that the doctor asked you not to beat maggi for a year....even pepper... plead with her not to b offended.


Let her know that this happened after she first gv you food....

it happened to me during my law school days at lagos. back then, I noticed that it wasn't the food caused my frequent stomach upsets but the water used in preparing the food.

rejecting her food doesn't pass the good message at all. You better louge in a hotel and eat out than staying there and eating out. grin

How does her inability to cook well cause running stomach. Is it bad food you are served? Anyways those saying to keep eating don't know what they are saying. Claim you are fasting or go eat out and bring them food.

Tell your cousin.
Must you endanger your health to please his wife's meals?
Re: How Do You Turn Down Someone's Food Without Offending Them?? by chatinent: 3:08pm On Jul 26, 2020
I think it's not her cooking that's causing this, it's your socio-cultural mentality. The food is purging only you (not even her husband), didn't you notice? Just be positive and grateful. And even if the purge continues, the toilet is an open unresentful friend. Besides, you aren't staying there forever.

insensitive is the better word. Have you considered how they'd feel if they see the food where it was dumped?
A better thing to do is tell her the food doesn't augur well with his system and that's likely the case as other members of the household don't suffer the same fate as op.

Na person we all be and every effort should be appreciated.
