Episode Synopsis

Daniel 1:8 says: “But Daniel resolved not to defile himself with the royal food and wine, and he asked the chief official for permission not to defile himself this way.”
Have you ever been in a position where you had to say “no thanks, not for me”?
This is exactly what Daniel and three of his friends did, when king Nebuchadnezzar offered them a food from his table.
Why on earth would they decline these royal delicacies?
Was it because of their flavour palate?
Or was there more to it?
