I guess it is rude. I used to live with a Korean granny in a homestay and when I cooked food and ate it without offering her any, she told my boss on me and told him I was a pig. My boss told me I must offer granny food when I cooked.... Rolling Eyes

Lesson learned: Don't do homestays Exclamation

May I offer you smoothie at Hooters 4pm tomorrow?

yep, sounds like she loves you. doncha know, they only nag because they care.

was the non-offering of food and consumption thereof rude?

grandma told us the only thing worse than being rude was pointing out the rudeness to the rude one. so, i am reluctant to opine. perhaps in the future- a token effort would be friendlier.
