Here.., try some...

Ever try to get someone just to "taste" something? Anything from a sandwich to stew or soup or whatever - and the person (guest, relative or friend) refuses even just a teeny dot on the spoon. They swear they hate the food, admit they never had it, yet will kill you dead if you try to coax them into tasting it.

What the heck is up with that? I'm not talking about an instance where the person might have reason to think the food was prepared under questionable circumstances. That would be justified. I'm not even talking about people who are allergic to certain foods. I'm talking about stubborn cold rebellion. WHY!?

Up front - there's no reason it should bother me but it does. What's the harm in a taste? I get to feeling like its a battle of wills or something and I want to say, "Get the crap outta my house you freaking weirdo!" But I don't - I shrug it off and say, "you don't know what you're missing". Yeah I'm polite. What can I say.

BUT THEN - what the heck is up with me? People have a right to refuse food. It's America for crying out loud. So in that light, I'm the weirdo! Yeah baby - one absurd Super Freak. ** dave breaks into a sad rip off Hammer Time dance - with a limp**
