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:
The downside is that if they accept and they're on the lam you have to fight the police to the death on their behalf, so it's important to disclose any outstanding warrants to your host before you accept their hospitality.
