To all those who enjoy cooking, would you be insulted if someone didnt like your cooking?

in my case I would rather someone be honest with me and tell me that they didn't like it rather than lie. I always tell people you won't offend me if you don't like what I cook.

Depends on the manner in which they don't like it. If they can be an adult about it and politely say so, that's all good. When they're a petulant child about it, though, it's pretty damn insulting. Surefire way to never get invited to a party I'm throwing again.

@UndeadPrivateer well said, there is a right way to express it.

@oodlesofnoodles Indeed. The big key in my book is just avoiding the childish "eeewwwwww"/"that's gross" response or picking pieces out of food with a disgusted look like they're poison. Some leeway on this is given for literal children(key word being [i]some[/i], children gotta learn manners too), but it's a definite red flag for any and all adults.
