Although we did not want to eat this, we felt we had no alternative. Should we have spoken up?
DEAR MISS MANNERS: My husband and I were houseguests of some friends for a few days. One day, we watched as the host returned a partially eaten piece of chicken to the pot of stew he was preparing.
We found what our host did to be unsanitary and repulsive. Although we did not want to eat these leftovers, we felt we had no alternative. Should we have spoken up and expressed our negative views of what our host had done, not just once but three times? Should we have just refused to eat the food we had enjoyed the first time it was served?
