[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it okay if I just don’t eat/drink it without saying that it’s because I prefer less sweet stuff? Because I really do prefer less sweet stuff. [/quote]

Of course. It's just annoying to have a running commentary on food, especially if that commentary is negative about something most people enjoy as a treat.

BTW, I am not OP but I suspect OP is not talking about people who prefer dark chocolate or meringue buttercream. I suspect she's talking about people who make plain cranberry sauce with no sugar in it. [/quote]

Mmm I love tart cranberry sauce with very little sugar in it. Tart tart tart![/quote]

I'm the PP who gave that example, and I like tart things too. Plain boiled cranberries with NO sugar is not a typical taste that most people like. It's fine if it's your taste - I also like some weird stuff - but it doesn't mean regular cranberry sauce is "too sweet" such that it needs to be commented on at length. (Also, if serving to guests, nod to convention and put some sugar in.)

Americans have a bad habit of assigning moral weight to food. IMO the commentary is about asserting they are not tempted to "sin" with sugar. [/quote]
