Another high brow and thought provoking topic….

So do you fall into the sharing “lets get a variety and we can all share” camp or “i ordered that dish it is mine” camp?

If it's a few people then a mix. Everyone has one dish which is theirs but with side dishes to share.

Share. I’m a food floozy and always have wondering eyes for what’s on other peoples plates. I don’t really have boundaries and I’ll take it off their plate otherwise

Mine goes like this.....

But you said you wanted that, only that. You said you didn't want what I was having so I ordered the small one. If you were going to want some of mine I would have got the big one but you said you didn't. Yes I know it looks good but I only have the small one and no, I don't want any of yours.

And everytime she takes half of mine, EVERYTIME!!!!

With takeaway and you get a few things of course it's fine to share.

What I HATE though is when someone reaches over the table and takes something off my plate!

They chose not to share. Meal times with me is kind of like the game show Golden Balls. There’s a choice to split or steal. Either way I’m taking at least half.

Definitely for sharing that’s the best part a little bit of everything, even on my own I still order enough for four as like the variety, eat over a couple of days.

Unless it’s fish & chips, you have yours and I’ll have mine.

Oh we love to share and we always do because variety is awesome right? But there is also an unsaid understanding and repect with regards each others chosen favourite. Which mean we only tend to take a bit of each others and mainly stick to our own.

I tend to avoid takeaway, as I've a few food allergies.

Those invariably tend to mean the ingredients I cannot eat are contained within what everyone else wants.

EG, I can't eat Indian, Chinese, Thai, Mexican or foods with spices or peppers.

I've even found at Company related events such as Training Courses or Dinners, the menus chosen by colleague organisers haven't allowed for what I could or couldn't eat.

At one Awards Dinner (I was to receive an award too), I walked out as everyone sat down to a 4 Course dinner, after I found that the only menu option chosen for me was a Cheese Sandwich, nothing else!

I resigned the next day & told them where to shove the sandwich!!

The reason I choose something to eat is that's what I want to eat. The reason I choose not to eat something is that's not what I want to eat. Why would I give up part (or most) of what I wanted for something I didn't want?

I'll have mine, you have yours. If you lot want to share you go right ahead, but don't involve me.

I feel very strongly about this. It annoys the shit out of me when somebody expects me to join in the sharing dinners thing. Nowadays I just refuse. Luke
