what do you do when you don't like the food on your table?

I just put them in my mouth then swallow. Yeah it's really hard but i kind of got used to it when i stayed in my dad in Manila. The food was awful and that's on a daily basis. Corned beef with soup, crab soup which tastes like it's warm water and many more. Out of hunger i just forced myself to eat it than not to eat anything at all. I couldn't believe my taste buds on how the people around the house were able to endure it. The food totally suck! Sometimes i would just go to the store and buy bread. Sometimes i just won't eat at all when i feel totally sick eating the leftover lousy food for lunch. I'm not picky but they could have made a dish that's easy to cook than to experiment on something with a lousy result.

Yeah me too, I prefer to eat chips and drink soft drinks then let some one on family eat the food I do not like to get a new food :D

I think it's rude to not eat what's set before you. If it's something that you are allergic to, then you can say so, but most foods will not hurt you to eat a little of. There's nothing wrong with doing your best to be polite.

we do the same thing I cook my own food.

Always been told from a child 'you eat whats put infront of you and be greatful' which is what i do

I will still eat the food even if I don't like it. Food is God's love made edible. Besides, there are a lot of people who can't afford to eat three times a day. I am always thankful for every food that is served on the table because it is a blessing.
