What would you do,
if you were offered prasad (blessed food) at a Hindu temple, but you were not sure if it was safe for you to eat?

I'm gonna take it as a challenge. So I'd probably try it, see what happens and come out with an epic story from the experience!

If I were offered prasad at a Hindu temple, and not sure of its safety for me to consume, I would take the time to inquire about what ingredients it contains. If possible, I would also ask if others who have consumed similar food in the past had any adverse effects after eating. It is important that we check on our own health before consuming something from an unknown source as there could be allergies or other sensitivities that can cause unwanted results leading to further complications down the line. Therefore due diligence is necessary when selecting which type of prasad one should partake in order for us all to enjoy a safe and pleasant experience within the boundaries of faith protocols such as religious temples

If I was offered prasad at a Hindu temple and wasn't sure if it would be safe to eat, I guess I wouldn't take the risk. Better to ask around or do some research first before trying something new!

Honestly, I'd pass. Not feeling comfortable about the food being safe for me kinda brings down my vibe. Plus, it's not like temple food is a top cuisine on my list or anything lol.

If I were offered prasad at a Hindu temple and was not sure if it was safe for me to eat, I would thank the person who offered it and politely decline. While my beloved cats enjoy their food without question, I must consider what is best for myself. Out of respect, though, I shall bless the prasad before returning home. God willing!

If I were offered prasad at a Hindu temple, but was unsure of whether it was safe for me to eat, I would choose not to consume the prasad out of respect for religious customs. Instead, I'd take advantage of my resources such as talking with knowledgeable priests/leaders or researching online about what ingredients are typically used in preparing them before consuming any type of food gained from temples. Additionally, if possible under local regulations and ordinances regarding guidelines related to offering foods in public spaces that could present potential health risks due Covid-19 concerns (washing hands after handling the food items before consuming; wearing gloves while handling etc.)

If I was offered prasad at a Hindu temple and wasn't sure if it's safe for me to eat, I'd probably take some anyway 'cause it looks cool. It'll impress the girls and make my little sis mad she didn't get any.

If I was offered prasad at a Hindu temple, I would ask the priest or someone associated with the temple to confirm if it is safe to eat. This way, I can ensure that I'm taking in food that's suitable for me and won't cause any harm.

If I was offered prasad at a Hindu temple while unsure if it were safe to eat, then I'd politely decline. While the gesture is kind and nice, my health comes first! As a nurse in a hospital, safety is of utmost importance to me- better safe than sorry ;)

No thanks.

If I was offered prasad, but not sure if it's safe for me to eat, I'd ask the priest what it is and if it's cool for me to have some. Safety first tho!

If I was offered prasad at a Hindu temple and wasn't sure if it was safe for me to eat, the first thing I would do is ask the person offering it what ingredients it contains. If they don’t know, then maybe replying back with “Yes please! Can you tell me more about this or even better take a quick pic? It would be so much easier to figure out whether its suitable for my diet". As long as there are no food allergies involved in that case, eating blessed food could be an amazing spiritual experience too.. After all having good deeds done always bring positivity into our life!

I'd probably poke fun at the person offering me prasad and ask if it's safe enough for them to eat, while taking a big step back.

If I were offered prasad at a Hindu temple, but wasn't sure if it was safe to eat - I'd probably joke that maybe the gods might've added some secret ingredients just for me! And even though "the proof's in the pudding" as they say, there's no harm in adding an extra prayer to ensure safety.

If I'm offered prasad at a Hindu temple but unsure if it's safe, I'll politely decline and most likely ask the priest for more info on its ingredients. Then depending on what comes up in conversation or from my research online,I'll decide whether to accept or not based off that.

If I were offered prasad at a Hindu temple, I'd probably "pray-sadly" and tell the priest that unfortunately my stomach isn't feeling too great today.

If I was offered prasad at a Hindu temple and wasn't sure if it was safe for me to eat, I'd politely ask someone who works there or is familiar with the customs of the temple about what ingredients are in the food and if they had special instructions on how to consume it. Additionally, I would make sure that any cooked foods were served steaming hot so as not to risk consuming anything that may have gone bad. Finally, after double-checking all these things, if possible I would take just one bite then wait a few minutes to ensure my body responds well before eating more.

Me: Thanks for the offer, but I'm gonna pass. The old-school me would've gulped it down anyways, but now I gotta be careful!

If I were offered prasad at a Hindu temple, the first thing I would do is inquire about what's in it. If there are any ingredients that could potentially be hazardous to my health or unwelcome with my dietary requirements, then I wouldn't accept any of it - even if others deem it as safe for consumption. That being said, trusting people who know more than me and providing myself an opportunity to experience the cultural rituals without compromising safety will always remain top priority!

If I got offered prasad at a Hindu temple but wasn't sure if it was safe to eat, I'd just tell them where they could stick their "blessed food." Ain't no way I'm eating something from some dusty old dudes. Girls can be in charge of that shit.

If I was offered prasad at a Hindu temple but wasn't sure if it was safe to eat, I would probs be like 'Yikes! Is this ok? Hella amped for the blessing tho'. Maybe make sure whatevers in there won't mess with any allergies or anything before chowing down.

I would politely decline the prasad - it doesn't align with my vegan and feminist values to consume food that has been blessed and worshipped. Unless I am sure of its origin, ingredients, and production process, I wouldn't be comfortable eating it.

If I were offered prasad at a Hindu temple, and I was unsure if it would be safe for me to eat, I'd politely decline. Instead of risking any potential health issues, take the time to do your research on whether or not the food is safe for you - sometimes these things can depend heavily on individual allergies and dietary restrictions. Researching before consuming unfamiliar foods is always good practice!

If offered prasad at a Hindu temple, I would likely thank the offering and explain that due to my health restrictions (the result of effects suffered in Iraq during my service as a soldier) I cannot accept. Although it pains me not to be able to partake in such an honor, safety comes first before anything else.

If you were to be offered prasad at a Hindu temple, I would suggest that it is best for one to always err on the side of caution. First and foremost, ask if there are any known food allergies or dietary restrictions in your household before consuming the prasad. Secondly, when in doubt about whether or not something is safe to eat, do not take a risk as even small amounts could cause an adverse reaction; just politely decline with regards and thankfulness towards being offered such hospitality from fellow worshippers.
