How should one respond when offered more food after feeling full at an Egyptian family meal?
Correct answer: Accept and take a small bite

Yes but being Egyptian I don’t think it’s customary to take a bite & waste food. I usually compliment my host & decline.

not just in Egypt, hospitality is part of Islam.

This seemed right, it would also be the correct way to act in my Island home.

arohanui, the more I learn about Islam, the more I am struck by its similarly to Judaism: greeting the guest with food and drink, eschewing pork, worship of only one god, the of giving to charity and to those who need it, venerationof the prophets, the study of the Holy Books.....and that's just off the to of my head.
We really should be friends and companions, not enemies. Perhaps someday.

Friday, Christianity is the same and hospitality is just being a decent person not really indicative of any one culture

This is practically a universal point of etiquette, not limited to Egyptian culture.
