Are you a "sharer"... ?

Please, please, please this is a light hearted thread, no rows, no mention of Covid….. please lets keep it light.

All my life, if we have gone out for meals first with my mum and dad, then husband, friends etc., when we order food, we always share. I don't mean we start hoisting food on each other plates, but we always have a little taste of anything that looks great, I am nearly always the first to ask if anyone would like to try my dish.

Now recently we have made friends with two couples, who find this completely alien, (as in Gavin & Stacey) their dish, is their dish, they do not even share with their spouses and they find it really odd we have done this all our lives. To the point one of these couples said, if their children did this they would think they are very rude and they both said, we are the only people they know who do this.

Well all my friends do and my family, so I just wondered are we not the norm, do you share or don't you.

Once again, its just a light hearted thread, lets not turn it into something its not.

Come on Sharers, are you out there ?

We share, or allow others to taste a dish! We went out with my youngest son’s girlfriends parents, meeting for the first time, and her mother insisted i try some of her meal! I quite like it! Im usually the one to try new items on a menu, and others are free to sample! Family mainly!

Yep, we’d taste each other’s food, but I think mainly close family rather than friends, although not completely unheard of.

Oh definitely sharers here, if we like the look of something on someone else’s plate and suddenly there’s forks flying all over the place. “Oooo is that pasta nice? Let me see” as the fork descends at Mack one. “What’s your fish like” and whoosh part of it is getting munched somewhere else.

Come on surely we’re all sharers 👍

I was a dreadfully fussy eater in my teenage years, it was only when I met Nick, he introduced me to so many wonderful dishes and now I try everything and love nearly everything...….. it was only by trying these things, I found out what I really like.

When we went with one of those couples the other day, he had a huge plate of whitebait as a starter, he never once said to his wife, would you like one... I sat there in amazement.

It could be something crazy like he knows she doesn't like fish, or whitebait in particular.

It's exactly what would happen when we eat out. My son won't offer me any calamari, my daughter won't offer me a mussel and my partner would not offer me a scallop.

They're not being rude, they know that as I'm a vegetarian, I wouldn't eat any of those things.

Nope, both couples have made it plain time and time again, they do not share, their dish is their dish.

Yet as said before, when I offer if they would like a taste they certainly become sharers then, but never return the favour, which to be honest I don't really care about, unless its something really yummy. x

Oh yes with family I would defiantly have a whitebait to try, if it was massive i might have a few! With friends if they didn’t offer I wouldn’t ask if I could try one.
