How rude! I would far rather have someone tell me they don't like something
I have cooked than to have someone pick out bits of it and eat the rest.
But then again, I do go out of my way to make something the person will
like. If I don't remember their likes and dislikes or other food issues, I
will always ask before I make it. I would also never just drop something
off like that without asking first.
