I completely agree that if you don’t want something, don’t eat it out of obligation! I do however believe that it won’t kill you to have a small piece of something to make a family member see that you appreciate their cooking. Some cooks take great offense if you don’t even try something before deeming it something you in general, “hate”. I guess it’s all about balance right? Thanks for this thought provoking post!

That just might be the simplest tip I’ll hear this holiday season, but it is also the most important!

I HATE cake too!!!! Unless it’s carrot cake, it does absoultely nothing for me. I kind of regret even having a cake at our wedding. We should have done tiramisu or something more unordinary. Oh well, I guess not everyone can be as eccentrenic.

Love cake and pies but maybe not if you add cayenne. My niece did that and I tried a piece but decided it wasn’t my thing. I don’t mind trying though. My husband was a little upset that someone would ruin a perfectly good dessert on purpose. Oh well.

These are great tips. Thank goodness my family are not food pushers.

We are bringing things to the feast that we like so there are food choices. That is how I solve this problem. I hate potlucks because people become food pushers and I get annoyed!

I will be at the cheese plate with you. I hate fruit pies and hate cake as well. I can tolerate them sometimes (if they are loaded with frosting or ice cream) but I hate sugary frostings too. I am very picky about frosting.

Love this post because I am relieved that I am not the only one!
