The warm dinner?

[cj023Participant 723]

It’s a rare treat for me sometimes, but occasionally I will be offered dinner, no not the 5 star restaurant type… but in which someone will ACTUALLY cook for me. It’s not the beat cuisine but someone actually took the time to feed me.. Sometimes it’s hard to choke down it doesn’t taste right.. but being mgtow… Do you accept the plate, chow down, thank the person,… what is your dinner etiquette for when a stranger offers you dinner?

I think it would be awesome to chow down with old sage, stealthy (sausage fingers) and pistol Pete one day.

I remember when I was homeless this Mexican lady brought the three of us fresh tortillas…and they were still hot. The best tortillas I ever had.

With MGTOW brother? Now your talking. A dinner invite is a nice offer, but the red pill in me makes me think there is something expected in return.

I guess it depends on who’s asking and what the relationship/contact is. I like to cook, but seldom offer visitors to my house for dinner. I do have friends who are genuine, and I usually bring a nice bottle of wine to compliment the dinner if I’m invited.

sometimes I wonder if my MGTOW ways make me reclusive, but at this stage in my life I think it fits, for now. True friends are few and far between. If the invite is from a woman, I’m not the one to ask…. I don’t associate with them.

skip the cavernous vag and go your own way

Very few people I know actually cook,lol, the few that do are old friends and their cooking skills are as on point as mine so yeah I don’t pass up a free lunch – or dinner.

Lifes a bitch,but you don't have to marry one!

[HitmanParticipant]

do not take food from strangers.

[Old RottweilerParticipant 1520]

If it is a friend or acquaintance that offers, enjoy the dinner and the company.

If it is a stranger you want to get to know, politely accept.

If it is just a stranger and you are not starving, politely decline.

No one offers me dinner .. at least for the past twenty years. No sour grapes on my part because the offers just aren’t there.
It’s kind of funny, now that I dwell on it, I don’t know if I could tolerate a woman’s cooking any longer. Thinking back .. no woman ever made me a decent sandwich. Now I’m thinking back over two decades. I certainly never crave any woman’s cooking; just the opposite.

So the alternative was to learn to cook. Not gourmet .. but more like truck stop cooking 101 on old route 66. Yes, I can now sling hash in a hurry when necessary. I can also cook a more exotic meal such as a roast, casserole or hot dish but just don’t feel the need all that often. I do find myself grilling quite often summer and winter. Brats, chicken .. the usual and a vegetables, potatoes, carrots, celery .. buttered and seasoned in tin foil wrap right over the coals along with the chicken. My favorite oven dish will probably always be scalloped potatoes and ham. Easy to do .. and easy to freeze the left overs for a couple more meals. Baked beans and Beef Wellington.
I do believe I have fairly perfected making the Reuben Sandwich and scratch sweet, sour chicken over rice. Various style ribs and pork chop recipes are favorites.
I can usually have a BLT ready in five minutes. Within ten minutes I can have a decent ham and cheese omelette with raw fried potatoes in chopped onions, a fresh sliced tomato on the side. Within five more minutes the dishes are done and put away and I’m out the door. It’s all ok. Years ago, I never thought I’d have a collection of cook books but they are there on the shelf .. and I use them.

OH YES.
Because I am not a woman, when I am invited for dinner and someone else cooks, I’m going to be grateful – and express it – even if it’s grandma’s rubber shoe with melted cheese on it.

Sometimes I am asked “is there anything you won’t eat?” which is far too courteous in my opinion…. and my answer is “not when someone else is preparing it. Anything you prepare I’ll eat it and like it, thankyouverymuch.”

Noone ever prepared me a “bad” dinner.

I have prepared some EXCELLENT meals for other people, and I have seen women complain and push the dish of cut strawberries aside “because the seeds get stuck in her teeth”.. I wanted to throw her purse into the street and watch her go running barefoot after it , I was so embarrassed for her.

… while she can’t even be bothered to throw a package of dried noodles into a pot of boiling water and throw a jar of store-bought sauce over it.

If you keep doing what you've always done... you're gonna keep getting what you always got.

Well OK if it’s like runny Mac&Cheese you can always suddenly “not feel well”…..

…. or once my brother BURNED a big dinner at Christmas, but as a gesture of thanks, I took him and his wife & kids out for dinner instead.

Don’t worry, they will forgive you.

I just think preparing a meal for anyone takes “love” and symbolizes that. So as long as you’re receptive and thankful for that, you won’t go wrong. I know it’s corny, but it’s really not just about “the food”. So I might gush a little bit more when someone else cooks.

The soul yearns for company and a meal is just the excuse.

“because the seeds get stuck in her teeth”…what an ungrateful c~~~!

[GrumpyParticipant]

I like food, I like it more when someone else cooks it.
I have never refused a home cooked meal when it is rarely offered.

There was a time in my life when I gave a fuck. Now you have to pay ME for it
