This guy in the office makes a lot of dishes, but he hasn't got the best of hygiene and he has BO.  He also leaves used tissues on his desk which makes its way over to my desk (I sit next to him). 

He made someone in the office a dish to take home, and now he wants to cook something for me to take home for dinner.  To get out of it, I said, "That's very nice of you, but I have a very sensitive stomach and I have to be careful what I eat", but still he insists on cooking me something 'next time', which means next week.  How can I get out of this?

Perhaps do a swap for some homemade deodorant?

Tell him you have coeliac disease and can only eat food you prepare yourself

Accept it and throw it out

Accept it, throw it away, tell him it was lovely.

Just be firm .. say thank you but it would just be a waste of your time as I get IBS with food I haven't prepred myself and I don't want to be off work.

Why not look at some of the answers from 3 August? It seems your coworkers are trying to be friendly as several of them are making you food

How about asking him to make you a treacle tart?

What type of office do you work in ? It sounds a tip. His used tissues end up on your desk, that's disgusting, he has BO and not very hygienic. 
why are you sitting there and not doing anything about it ?

 

Kill him.

Ooft . 😏

I think dustypuss meant 'keel heem' in a Bond villain kinda way.

Step away from the letter opener and paperweight.
