Dear svAmi,
 
True . YOur host may feel offended.
 
Though this was prescribed in those days, it is more relevant today.
 
If you see the caterers and the way they serve the food ( some of them are not even srEvaishNavites) and are urgently become sAthinavargaL.
 
I had the opprotunity to closely move with these poeple and I find that they do not even take bath in the early wee hours of the marriage day.
 
The reason is cleanlienss and nothing else.
 
In fact, recently one of the adhyApa svAmi arranged a marriage for his daughter at thriuvallikkENi and a separate food was arranged at vAnamAmalai maTam, whcih was far better though not ideal.
 
Cleanliness and sanitation is the prime casue for these recommendations and nothing else.

Bad Food
 
Food for SvAmi Nam AzvAr is Lord Sri KrshNA
 
'vuNNum sOARu parugu nEr thiNNum veTRilaium ellAm kaNnan' ThiruvAimzohi 6-7-1;
 
We mortals, however need food day in and day out night in and night out. As seen earlier, the food offered to EmperumAn is ideal food.
 
There are certain food which has been proscribed
 
i piNach sOARu: Food in the house of death;
 
ii. maNach sOARu:  Food in marriages. Cleanliness.
 
iii. vilaich sOARu: Food purchased. The aim is commercial.
 
iv. pugazhch sOARu; Food catered with the aim of attaining fame.
 
v.porut sOARu: Food offered with expectations of something.
 
vi. ecchiR sOARu: Food offered to anya-dhEvathAs.
 
These are the food specifically barred-refer vArthA mAlai.
 
Further, svAmi vEdhAntha Desikan has elaborately dealt on this subject. In his work AhAra niyamam
he reiterates the fact that food not offered to EmperumAn is a dont.
