It depends on the parents. Everyone is different. My parents would not even ask. My dad would hold you down at gun point, while my mum would force the fruitcake, and packaging down your throat.
In ancient Greece the word Nelly meant plate. if you say not on your Nelly it is a bit disrespectful, because you imply you will eat it, but not on a Nelly or plate, thereby making crumbs.

Thank you for reminding me of "not on your nelly" - I have not heard that saying for years but think I may adopt it.

Not at all, this sounds like athe best response all round, particulary if you've tasted the mother-in-laws fruit cake!

the arm pit sniffing may be a little too much i think, but rest sounds reasonable to me ..

Not as bad as completely misinterpreting questions, and then getting on you high horse about stuff you don't even know about and being a self righteous tw4t!
