Make you no call me longer throat... , that was on a lighter note. I appreciate it when visitors eat my food well, even if you did not clean up the plate. 1 Like |

You just had a full meal then you visit someone and he brings a large plate of food! As for me I wouldn't even eat if I know I won't finish the food. 1 Like |

inderhappy: If I'm hungry I'm hungry and I'll gladly say so , it doesn't reduce my worth as a human being. Even in the house of a stranger I'll say it as it is , the only time I may not finish a meal or may outrightly refuse to eat is if my host isn't buoyant enough to prepare the meal for me and he/she is only doing it out of courtesy but say I go Otedola house come dey form , that one no fit happen. After the meal sef I fit even help myself with a taste of Cuppy |

I don't like leaving foods in the plate too. Even if I am visiting you for the first time, I will tell you to reduce the food if I can't finish it. The moment you leave food in the plate, it's already a waste because you will hardly see somebody who will eat it. 1 Like |

In most our cultures, we has been taught to leave food so you don't appear hungry while visiting. It has stuck to our medulla,so we would continue doing it. Is it right? IMO, I would say Yes. It inculcates good manners, especially in young ones. For grown adults, you might break this rule, in particular when you are visiting a close relation or friends |

I do not think this is applicable now. Anybody who tries to serve meal at this time to visitors should expect them to finish the plate and even ask for more if possible. I remember a day when we tested a visitor and he never disappointed. The plate was full to the brim and we even questioned ourselves if this visitor could finish the meal. To our surprise or even expectation, this man took his time, adjusted his belt and finished every grain of rice. We gave him a nickname as this experience stay glued in our memory. Country is hard and I don't think anyone will want to leave part of the food served to you. 1 Like |

After eating 95% of the food, you think your dignity lies in the 5% left over. I don't have a suitable meme for you right now. If you come to my house to waste food, I will send you out ASAP. Its better you reject food than leave crumbs behind. |

Hmmm..... could leaving food be sending a message that the food was not appetizing?.... and out of respect the guest forced himself to eat? ... but can no longer bear the torture? But then how much should be left back ? If I don't like the food.... two spoonfuls max and the rest for the ancestors.... after all... my ancestors are manyyy. |
