Whenever someone came to the house, even if it was the insurance man,
you'd offer them something....tea, coffee, a cool drink of water. You asked also if they'd like something along with it. It could be as simple as a cookie.
If the person said, "no thank you", then you'd ask again. "Would
you like something to drink or eat?". If they said, "Thank you, I'm good";
you'd say, "Are you sure?" That dialogue on for a minimum of three times. It was the "Irish way". Now if you entered a house that DID NOT offer you anything, then you "skiddaddled" out of there as fast as you could. They weren't hospitable!
