Unwilling promises

The people pleaser who doesn't want to disapoint someone so they make a promise but add excuses to get out.
"I promise we'll do that later but I am busy right now." "You don't have to make unwilling promises, just say no."

Scottish promise

An ancient custom of serving guests an offering of food with a portion removed.

The custom served dual purposes. Symbolically, it was meant to indicate that nothing would be offered which was not equal to the servers own.
Practically, it allowed for a taste test to gauge the quality of the ingredients and preparation.
