[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We share all of our food. If we go out to eat at a restaurant, we are all passing bites of our dinner around the table to each other. I've come to understand that this isn't completely normal, most people eat the dinner they ordered. [/quote]

That's my father's pet peeve! He doesn't want to eat with people who do that. He wants to eat his dinner and be left alone. No sharing whatsoever. [/quote]

I hate sharing because as the youngest in a large family my food was often taken. My mother was the worst about it. [/quote]

This reminds me of the "every man for himself" families - usually large, where there is barely enough food to go around, but whomever the cook is (usually the mom) for meals, is oblivious and just seems to think that the guests "loved her food so much, and she made just enough!" UGH. DH still has food issues from growing up that way, meals were always stressful, and supplemented with cereal and/or chips after dinner.

We grew up not sharing, and had bread and salad (from the garden) with each (varied starch, varied meat, varied veggie) meal. Not sure if that is an idiosyncrasy.  DH ate the same starch and veggie each meal, and rotated between two or three different meats, one for each meal. (We grew up working poor, DH did not).

DH does not like it if I order the same thing at dinner, [b]it is not allowed[/b], because of the presumption that it will be shared, yet we never share. Same with his family.

I think sharing your meal, or at least food, could have it's own thread! Apologies for the sidetrack, I just find upbringing and food dynamics interesting. [/quote]

Lol.  I would order the same meal as him just out of spite.  Not allowed?  Ha, watch me order that meal[/quote]

I do! LOL. [/quote]
