Nor what is offered without respect, nor improper meat, nor food belonging to a male-less female, nor the food of an eneny, nor the food of the city-lord, nor the food of an outcast, nor that which has been sneezed at.—(213)

Ganganatha Jha 1920, Manu-Smṛti: The Laws of Manu with the Bhāṣya of Medhātithi

Medhātithi’s commentary (manubhāṣya):
‘Offered without respect,’—that which is given in a disrespectful maimer, to a person who deserves to be treated with respect. This does not refer to food that may be offered by friends and others.

‘Improper meat,’— which has been cooked for one’s own self, and is not the remnant of the worship of gods.
