On Charity and Cheesecake

What is the purpose of improving our tastes and levels of etiquette? How do we respond to food that may not be to our preference (whether in taste preferences or in food types/quality) when dining with others?

We'll let an brief (well...kinda brief) review of going out to dinner up up to a conversation about the real purpose of eating together and how charity ought to be the true end of all we do.

Plus... pears!
