Why? Did you get sick? Just Curious

But was it tossed or wedged? 😹

You didn’t have to keep eating it...

So take your aunt aside and mention it to her. Better than someone getting sick.

i understand trying to be polite but come on there were bugs in it. just say you’re not hungry (that’s what I do even when I’m expected to eat food I don’t like)

While the great majority of bugs would technically be nutritious and do you no harm - There is no way in hell I would eat food with bugs on it! You can always say no thank you, or eat something else, or quietly tell the person who made the salad about the bugs. (Sometimes older people don’t see well.)
