If it's that bad i'm sure you won't be the only one itching to make a comment ;] A good sense of humour is all you need!
Probably eat it...but i'd be sure to say something to my husband later....
eat as much as possible and then not say a thing
I would definately tell my bfs family...they're so ghetto they wouldn't care anyway
My family, I would joke about it if my mom made it...other relatives, grin and bear it
If it was obliviously bad, they'd know I was lying to say it was good. **bringing back manners 1 question at a time**
just thank them.
no i wouldn't mention it. if it was that bad they would already know, I'm sure they wouldn't appreciate my criticisms.
You have to say if it's turkey and it's undercooked - this is a health hazard. Otherwise act graciously as they are not buring the food deliberatly to antagonise you. How about offering to help cook then you can have some input into when the food gets served? Or agree to precook some of the food yourself and bring it over so it just needs to be heated through (I'm thinking par boiled potatoes for roasties etc etc).
Either way it's very unkind and ungracious to create an atmosphere by suggesting thier cooking ins't up to standard. If it really is inedible.... eat around the bad bits and cry off by saying you've drunk too much fizzy wine, or are feeling a little off colour.
It depends on the personality of the people, but I would pretend it was lovely most likely
It depends on how well you get on woth them i suppose,if we were going to my mother-inlaws and the food was burnt i would say pass us the chain saw,and we`d all laugh,coz that`s what she`s like.
Nibble and be quiet this year maybe next year you would have been around enough to speak that is how some families are.
If this is not a health related question (and I like to assume they would notice the turkey is bleeding when they carved it) then it is best just to smile and thank them for having you.
There is always something good about everything - is the table set to look elegant? Was the wine exceptional? did they make cute little Christmas butter molds?
Someone will speak up and make an *** of themselves. I rather prefer to let that someone be someone else.
Merry Christmas.
just eat the bits that aren't burnt or under cooked...(if there is any)...tell them that your full and can't eat any more...i would never insult anyones ability to cook, especially if they have gone out of their way to cook Christmas dinner for you, but i would be quiet about it and just say thankyou....
how about get a...wait for it...
