The permissibility of saying ‘I do not have an appetite for this food’ or ‘I do not ordinarily eat it’ and the like if necessary

WE RELATE FROM the Ṣaḥīḥs of al-Bukhārī and Muslim that Khālid ibn al-Walīd reported that a roasted lizard was presented to the Messenger of Allah and his hand moved towards it. [Those present] said: “It is a lizard, Messenger of Allah.” He raised his hand. Khālid asked: “Is the lizard ḥarām?” He said: “No, but this was not found in the land of my people, so I find it off-putting.” ^[1].
