Yeah I am aware of all that been to many places eaten many meals. Still to me hosting is a two way street. Obviously I have an option feeding the dog.
I have never actually feed a dog food I did not want by the way. That was a failed attempt at humor.
I'll give you an example of what I have done when I got something I did not really wamt eat.
It was at a friends house his wife made beef stroganof well in place of beef it had mushrooms which I really dont like. What did I do you ask? I ate the whole plate and never said a word of complaint.
