[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We go out to dinner quite frequently with another couple. Generally my husband, the other husband, and I just get an entree, but the other wife often gets an appetizer. When asked if she’d like it to come out first or with the rest of the food, she always requests that it come out first. This leads to the rest of us sitting around watching her eat as we wait for our dinner. I think this is fairly oblivious behavior and I’m a little over it. I think between friends I can say nicely, “Frances, do you mind if your app comes with the rest of the food? I’m pretty hungry!”  My husband thinks this is rude and I shouldn’t say anything. I think if stated cheerfully it’s a perfectly polite request and will gently nudge her to realize that maybe making everyone else wait for their food isn’t the most thoughtful behavior. What do you think?[/quote]

That would be incredibly rude of you to mention this to your friend. Should you wish to partake in something while your friend enjoys her meal then you might suggest an appetizer for the table or you can request bread from your waiter. If you find yourself too hungry you can excuse yourself to the restroom and request a glass of water and some nuts from the bar. You might consider eating a small snack in the afternoon as you should never allow your body to become so hungry that you cannot wait comfortably for 20 minutes.[/quote]
