[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. 
Thank you all for your opinions. I did decline. To clarify a few things:

-it wasn't a party, just her family having our family for dinner.

-the anxiety some of you picked up on from me was not anxiety over the food itself, but over once again rejecting her offer to host us. I know she loves to serve delicacies like goat tongue or whatever, and [b]when her family comes to our house she happily eats whatever we serve and likes it, [/b]and we enjoy enough of an overlap of restaurants to go out to eat happily. I don't want her to worry we think her house is too dirty or something.

- I *have* tried many foods, and tried them many times. At a certain point though, don't you stop doing things you hate and just say "You know what? This is who I am" and find a way to make peace with it? At a certain point you stop going to yoga or trying to become a golfer or get your hair to look good when you blow it out or stop trying to knit people sweaters. I'm tired of burning my tongue and not being able to taste anything for two or more days.

- I'm 41. My kids like all the foods I like (except one of them objects to eating sea objects so won't eat any seafood, and one prefers her eggs cooked differently than I do). They like stuff I don't like too.

-when I'm at a sit-down dinner party, I do take a little of a few things and push them around my plate. but yes, when I'm at a party where the food is laid out and people just take as they want, I don't want to waste food by taking what I won't eat.

-I apologize if I was offensive in describing the chicken with sauce on it. [/quote]

Maybe she doesn't like your food, and is just polite about it.

Please make sure your kids get to eat more variety for their health and wellbeing[/quote]
