[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The family style is annoying because it dominates the conversation. Pass this, pass that. Don't the kids like green beans? We made this because we thought they'd like it. Aren't you hungry? This one eats and eats. You look like you're going to blow away. Could you pass that again?
The buffet - you line up, make your plate and eat it. Go back and get more if you want more. Talk about something more interesting at the table. And I don't even have an island, I use the induction surface as a serving area every night!

I don't usually mind family style but I can't get control over it with my family. My parents don't understand the concept of just passing in one direction. I try to conduct the rhythm "ok mom, pass the green beans around...No not to me, just take some and pass to your left... Mom, could you please take some salad and pass it on? No, mom, the rolls are coming around, I'm not passing them across the table to you.  Now you have the salad, corn and the cranberries stacking up next to your plate, for the love of...yes, sorry nobody has passed you the turkey Aunt Mary, dad skipped you by passing every single item back the other way." My niece: grandpa, what, did you get the Uno reverse card or something????

My inlaws manage it flawlessly. [/quote]
