The Prophet Never Criticized Food — He Ate It or Left It

Ma 'aban-Nabiyyu ﷺ ta'aman qattu, in ishtahahu akalahu wa in karihahu tarakah
Translation
Narrated Abu Hurayrah (RA): The Prophet (SAW) never criticised food at all. If he liked it he ate it, and if he disliked it he left it alone.
Practice This Today
Never criticise food served to you — not its taste, quantity, or presentation. Simply eat what you like and quietly leave what you do not. This is the way of the Prophet (SAW).
