Here are some quick, polite responses if you don’t like a dish:

  • “Thank you so much for preparing this, but I’m quite full already.”
  • “It looks lovely, but I think I’ll save room for something else.”
  • “I appreciate the effort you put into this dish!”
  • “It’s very interesting, but I think I’ll pass this time.”
  • “I’m going to have a small portion, everything looks great!”
  • If pressed, you can say lightly, “I’m not a big fan of this ingredient, but thank you for offering.”

These responses politely acknowledge the cook’s effort without offending, and if needed, you can gently deflect or compliment other parts of the meal to keep the atmosphere positive. 3, 4, 6, 7
