If a Jewish person were to be presented with a non-kosher meal even after having explained their dietary requirements to the host in advance, what would be the proper reaction?

Homicide.

I think it would be appropriate to refrain from eating the meal, eating only the kosher parts, or requesting a different meal. If the person has explained their dietary requirements to the hosts beforehand, it would be polite for the hosts to attempt a kosher meal.

"You stupid goy I told you 3 times I don't eat this drek, now git it out of my face you mashugana bastard."

I have seen it happen. My Jewish friend handled it well. Anyone asking a Jewish person to thier home should ask the question regarding the need to serve a kosher meal.

All too often well-meaning people still don't really get it when you've explained the kosher thing. You should politely explain that you cannot eat the food they've given you and you'd be happy to review the do's and dont's of your diet for future reference (obviously, if you sense that they don't care for your kosher requirements, don't accept their next invitation).

Since their needs were ignored, I would excuse myself from the table and maybe even leave the premises. Obviously their host chose not to respect their guest so why would their guest need to accept this lack of respect?

One would hope that the Jew would be the bigger person and simply decline the meal in an amicable manner as the small-minded person who served the meal is probably just spiteful.

I'd probably lie, and say I already ate dinner.
