It seems like every culture expects guests to want to eat regardless of their circumstances, and if you refuse, you’re automatically rude and insulting.

If I offer you food and you refuse, I’m going to be quite happy. It means I get to save money and have more food to myself. I ain’t offering a second time if you say no the first time :maduro-coffee:

    I only find it rude when Mormon missionaries who show up at my door refuse my offer of booze and weed.

      You'd think if they wanted to spread their weird cult the least they could do is learn a little bit about sacred hospitality. You basically just promised not to rob and murder them but do they have enough grace to accept? no!
