My grandfather did this.
Once there was a family who knocked on the door of our home every night during dinner saying. “hey can we eat? My wife is to tired to cook”
We were being nice and letting them eat dinner with us every night for about a week. Then the excuse got old.
So one night after dinner he put all the plates on the floor and let the dogs lick them clean, and put them back into the cabinets.
The couple and there family were surprised and asked if they did that every night. He told them yes. Why waste the water.
They left and never came back.

I would have suggested they go out to dinner if she was too tired to cook. When you prepare a meal you do it knowing how many you are cooking for. To have neighbors show up unexpectedly would certainly mean there was not enough for everyone in most cases. He should have told them to find a fast food to eat at the very first night. It should have stopped the first night. So what if they were offended as they were incredibly rude to expect to be fed.
