Say someones offers you–as they did me–chocolate coconut cake. But after taking a piece, you realize the cake actually would taste better without the coconut. Do you say something? If so, how would you phrase it? Or do you just smile and say “thank you for the delicious piece of cake”?
‘Al taam ve’al reyach’ and all that. you’d prefer less coconut, the next guy prefers double the coconut and 1/2 the chocolate. Smile and say thanks!! Now that changes if the person is working onthe recipe and is asking every taster for feedback so that they can tweak it- if asked, phrase it nicely… “love it the way it is, and maybe it would be worth a try to see if less cocolnt would also be good” vehameivin yavin.
