*What Lord Likes to eat*?
Before the war took place, Krishna visited Hastinapura.
Duryodhana invited Krishna to a feast. He served preparations of delicious foodstuff in golden dishes, and water in golden cups.
He requested Krishna, “Please come and take Your meal with Me.”

He requested Krishna, “Please come and take Your meal with Me.”
Krishna said, “I can’t eat anything, because I have no appetite. I only eat anything where there is love and affection, I came to Hastinäpura to ask you to make peace with Arjuna and his brothers, but you have not complied. How can I take My meal with you? I am not hungry.”
Shortly after rejecting opulent feast, Krishna went to Vidura’s house.
But Vidura was not there. Krishna pleaded with his wife Viduräëé, “Oh, Vidurani Maiya, I am so hungry! Please give Me something to eat.”
Vidurani was very affectionate towards Krishna.

Vidurani was very affectionate towards Krishna.
She began to offer Him bananas, but she was so anxious,that in confusion, she threw away the fruit & gave Him the peels. Krishna affectionately accepted the peels, and relished them joyfully.

Vidura came in.
He was astonished at what he saw, and exclaimed, “Oh, Vidurani! What are you doing?”
Krishna tried to caution him, “Don’t speak to her. She is not in her external senses. She is fully absorbed in transcendental love and affection.”

Krishna tried to caution him, “Don’t speak to her. She is not in her external senses. She is fully absorbed in transcendental love and affection.”
Vidurani,however,came back to external consciousness when she heard her husband speak, & soon realised what was happening. She then gave Krishna the fruit of the bananas & threw away the peels.
Krishna was a little disappointed. “Oh! This fruit is not as tasty as the peels were.”
Krishna was a little disappointed. “Oh! This fruit is not as tasty as the peels were.”
Thus, the key thing here is that you can offer anything to the lord as long as it is offered with love!
