In some cultures, when you are invited to (1) a meal at someone's house, you might
be considered rude if you don't say how nice the food is. In Britain, for example, it's normal for
someone to compliment the cook (2) the tastiness of the meal.You can say something
like,'That was delicious. Do, please, write the recipe down (3) me!'
In other cultures, however, people tend not (4) be so full (5) enthusiasm
for the meal.You might be regarded (6) being rude, as the cook might associate your
praise (7) surprise. He or she might think, 'So, they're shocked I can cook well, are
they?'
If you're not sure how to react, the best advice is to wait and (8) how other people at
the table react. If that doesn't help, be very careful (9) what you say! I would suggest
(10) one solution could be to say, 'That was delicious, but then I knew it would be!'
