Like do adults just throw away food that taste bad? I mean like say you are at a restaurant and want to try something new… and end up hating it like two bites in…
Or perhaps a new receipe for at home…
Politeness would be eat it, thanks your host, tell it was good
If you’re alone at home, compost bin may be an option (same as *too much food)
As a child, I was taught to eat what was served and to finish what I was served, Whether I liked it or not.
It’s even simpler as an adult because 1) I like to try new things and I know I will often need more than a single bite of anything to really appreciate anything new 2) I want to show some appreciation to the person cooking (I simply don’t cook things I know don’t like, myself ;)
When I was a kid and served a food I didn’t like, I just had to eat it anyway.
As an adult, I just don’t cook food I’ll dislike. The secret is to taste as you go.
I learned that if I had a sandwich I don’t like, throw it at a pig.

I just… Don’t cook food I don’t like, generally. It has to be pretty bad for me to not want to eat it. My first attempt at brown rice (severely undercooked), I tried rice and beans (turns out I hate beans to the point of wanting to puke :D). Those went in the trash. But generally I just eat it, maybe I don’t chew if it’s bad enough, but it’s pretty rare regardless.
My room mate either hands it to me, or tosses it if I won’t eat it. That’s the source of most of my tossed food. Food they didn’t want that I was curious enough about to take the offer, then ended up not liking myself.
Give it to my dogs.
My cat refuses to eat any “human” food xD
You can literally put fresh fish and she wont eat it, only those catfood
Your an adult. You make an effort, you try and suck it up because you’re not a kid anymore
Why? Just toss it and never make that food again? You don’t need to spend your life hating what you eat, literally ever.
I’ll say I have a family member who does what you’re saying, and they waste honestly just a ton of food. Like “I tried this new recipe, it made enough for 10 meals but I didn’t like it so I threw it out”. Not that it turned out bad, but they didn’t like it. Now, I’m all for never making it again because you didn’t like it, but wasting that much food is just gross to me.
I think that the hypothetical question is more « if you’re out » at home do what you want.
But eating TV diner because you hate anything else is not being an adult (I know someone like that)
It’s very rare I don’t finish what I started. If I won’t eat it, nobody else will. It would go to the trash.
I hate nothing I’ve met so far.
Each individual decides that for themselves. Personally I’ve always thrown away the food I don’t want. If I didn’t want it, no way my mom would.
