I don't know if there is a right answer. I have a neighbor who gives us food and I throw it away and clean the bowl the second we receive the gift. I don't want to hurt his feelings but I don't think he seems very clean. I always say thank you and put on a facade like we ate whatever it is that he is proud to share.

Thanks, BK and others. That's probably what we'll continue doing, too, since we've boxed ourselves in. My wife doesn't eat pork so I know this particular offering is all for me. He used to bring over primarily sweets and baked goods, which we were able to kindly refuse for health reasons, so he mostly sticks to soup now.

My husband of 25 years told my mother he loved her pork roast. She has made it for him ever since. He really doesn't like.

Exactly! Boxed himself in!
And I did say our friend enjoys cooking but didn't specify that he's good at it.
