Choose among the pickles the one that you can eat without the risk of disturbing your diet, fasting and peace of mind. Surely there is some relatively harmless salad there. Pile yourself a full plate to nip all the accusations in the bud, and chew, praising: "Oh, Aunt Masha, how did you make sauerkraut, I'll probably put some more for myself." Because if the plate is filled with a slide, even Aunt Masha will not try to attach a cutlet to it as well.
If you know for sure that relatives are already waiting for you with Soviet-French meat and boiled sausage at the ready, take something more acceptable with you to visit - as if as a contribution to the feast. This is what you eat, throwing a slice or two of cucumber and a couple of spoons of vinaigrette into a plate for conspiracy.
It is worth telling relatives that you are on a diet / fasting / strict vegetarian, for the rest of the feast you will have to listen to how you are mad with fat and are wrong all around. A safe way to refuse a forced treat is to refer to a certain doctor who discovered non—systemic intestinal lupus and forbade you to eat meat, mayonnaise and fried. And you are ready to cry in despair, the holiday is ruined, a young life is in vain, but no, thank you, you can't eat lard in any way.
If you know that for your relatives to feed a person on a diet and drink a non—drinker is a kind of sport, in general, turn away from the feast by coming up with a convincing reason (the pipe broke, the flu knocked down, the washing machine broke and the dog gives birth). And so that you are not declared a renegade and a tumbleweed that does not remember the roots, ask for a private visit two days after the feast: by this time all the leftovers will have already been eaten, and the strength to prepare a new 80 kilograms of olivier will not be restored yet, so there is a chance to make do with tea and cookies.
We hope that with the help of these tips, you will survive a feast with relatives without unnecessary suffering. And if you receive guests yourself and there is not enough time for pre-holiday cleaning, professionals from the Qlean service will help to put the apartment in order and create comfort.
