They're lousy friends then if they're going to let something like that interfere with their relationship with you!. But your question conflicts with your follow up!.!.!.it seems your friends DO invite you with repetition but they just don't want to cook!. It's pretty clear why they've ordered take out and it's a little rude of you to ask your hosts why they they didn't make dinner themselves when you're THEIR guest in THEIR home even if they are friends!.
It's the spirit in which the meal is offered, not the meal itself that counts!.
Here's an idea, whenever you're invited over, bring a dish with you that's very simple to make but wonderful!. They'll see they can probably make it too or give an impromptu class or detailed discussion on how to make it!.
At the very least you'll be invited more often because you're bringing something they know they'll love and they know you won't ask about their abilities in the kitchen!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I have this problem with my sister n laws!. Most of them are limited in the kitchen and so they either order take out for the family gatherings hosted at their place or we end up going out to eat!. It's no wonder their children and their husbands come to my home and eat like it was their last meal!. It's laziness on their part because they could offer the simplest of meals and I would appreciate it if it was offered with love and kindness but all too often they turn it into a competition!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
insecurity is a terrible thing my friend - and your friends are insecure of their cooking apparently!.
