Shylock says that they are just trying to flatter him ( and lower the interest on the loan) by inviting him for supper.Shylock says he accepted just so he can feed off the wasteful Christians,
"But wherefore should I go?
I am not bid for love. They flatter me.
But yet I’ll go in hate to feed upon
The prodigal Christian"
