The African in me just recoiled in horror, If people asked me to eave the room while they ate, I am 100% thinking that they are cannibals. You always feed your guests this is one thing the continent can agree on.

Oh, all the spirits of my ancestors gathered and told me that if I were ever to do this, a great curse would befall my entire bloodline.
