franca70 · 06/05/2007 17:49

what are you not comfortable with? is it the ethics or the taste? thre's nothing wrong refusing to eat something!

franca70 · 06/05/2007 17:50

yes, you are right, I was in fact going to wite sauternes, but didn't know how to spell it....

no, not I.

Friends served it to me and dh. Dh declined.

Dh was flustered, tried it, couldn't eat it, apologised, went on a bit.

It is a bit of a controversial thing to serve I suppose.

I think things would be much simpler if we returned to a vegetarian household

OP posts:
littlemissbossy · 06/05/2007 18:18

Well I'd love it
but at the same time if I was the host I certainly wouldn't have been offended if a guest declined it, we don't all like everything

compo · 06/05/2007 18:20

I can't remember what it is.. someone remind me?
