accept food/drinks when people offer or do you say you're alright?

[mooo]

Depends what it is

[andybigbro]

I say it's alright.

[Marsh.]

Depends if I'm alright or if I want it.

[Smithy]

Drinks all the time, food I don't generally

[jackc1806]

I don't accept food off people

[mooo]

I wouldn't take food from someone I didn't know

[Samm]

No, ew

[AnnieK]

Depends who and what.

[Alf]

Say "no I'm alright thanks"

Then they say "are you sure?"

And then I say "Go on then"

No pretty much all the time even if I'm starving

I thought this meant if you're round at your nan's house or something and you get offered a bag of crisps or a drink not strangers wanting to share their meals with you.

Yeah, that's what I was referring to. Not necessarily a full-on meal or anything but something along the lines of a snack/drink/whatever.

[Sophiee]

on the basis it's somebody I know then I'll accept it if I want it, but not if I'm not hungry/thirsty. if it were a stranger then obviously not.

[Josy]

If I'm in my family/in laws houses then I do/eat/drink what I want so yeah I accept stuff if I want them

Not being snooty here but if I go to someone's house for the first time and notice it's not lets say the cleanest then I wouldn't accept a cup of tea or food etc off of them I would just say something like oh no thanks I just ate or whatever.

[Livia]

Depends who's offering and the circumstances, but usually I'd politely refuse.

[MTVN]

Not food generally, will take a drink in a pub or something but then will always get them one back, nothing worse than a round dodger
