[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please do not serve people. It’s rude and wasteful.

I agree 100%. Not everyone likes everything; people have diets they want to follow; people have restrictions and even allergies that they don't wish to discuss or defend. Never never ever ever put a plate of food in front of a grown adult unless they specifically ask you to or agree to that when you offer.[/quote]

This is so interesting to me.  I am a chef and plating the meal a certain way is part of the experience. In our home, our Thanksgiving guests are our families and we are well aware of any food allergies.  Since I’m asked to host every year, I guess nobody thinks I am rude (shrug).  You, on the other hand, both sound like very rude dinner party guests.[/quote]

Hello, duh, restaurants are different than someone’s home. A chef is not insulted if you don’t eat Aunt Edna’s creamed spinach. When you order, you can request a substitution or talk through allergies. You can give a sever or chef literally an order, as you are the paying customer. It’s different for a GUEST.[/quote]

A "guest" should graciously accept what he or she is given.  Did you grow up under a rock?[/quote]

This is why I don’t let my MIL serve my kids food. My daughter doesn’t need to have some of everything, or sit there until she finishes.  Such an archaic practice.[/quote]

Nobody has said anything about a plate-clearing requirement.  This entire part of this thread was in response to a poster calling me rude for plating food for my guests at my home at Thanksgiving dinner.  [/quote]

It is a rude imposition, and you should stop.[/quote]
