101. Chapter: On not criticising food and the recommendation to praise it

736. Abu Hurayra said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, never criticised food. If he liked it, he ate it, and if he disliked it, he left it." [Agreed upon]

737. Jabir reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, asked his family for a condiment and they said, "We only have vinegar." He asked for it and began to eat, saying, "Vinegar is an excellent condiment. Vinegar is an excellent condiment." [Muslim]
