Are you a "sharer"... ?

Sharing a drink in these times 🦠 seriously?

In more normal times, at home , yes I’d offer a taste if we were eating different things, in a restaurant , no not as a matter of routine. Maybe occasionally if something was extraordinary.
If your mate’s wife wanted whitebait, she’d have ordered whitebait

I would agree - as I said earlier we have no problem sharing - at the minute we definately wouldn't share across plated.
Though if we had a takeaway (when we were allowed friends in), we shared stuff out with serving spoons (not eating spoons that people were using).

We’re sharers. We always discuss before ordering too so that we all have different things.
More to try!

We'll share a takeaway of a few dishes between family/friends, or pre covid would share dishes say in an Indian restaurant meal dining in. But otherwise no.

I can't imagine going to a lovely Italian restaurant and anyone sharing or tasting someone else's meal.

Perhaps for us it's based on what the meal is.

We don’t share food either. I suppose we’d try something if it was say several of the same items like spring rolls or something. Something that you could lift whole off the plate. I’d never share a drink with anyone and I’d never eat off a fork after anyone else. I’m including DH and our kids in that.

Definitely a sharer! And not just with family. When we go out for work we always offer each other a taste of what we’ve ordered, share a bowl of chips or starters. I find it odd that people don’t to be honest! It’s a perfect opportunity to taste something you may not have tried before and it’s opened me up to a lot of menu items I wouldn’t have normally ordered. We usually go for Chinese or Indian though where your main meal is on a serving plate so we’re not eating from each other’s plates. With family though we take from each other’s plates all the time. Dad always gets offered the leftovers!

Also in my experience as a restaurant manager particularly with desserts I get just as many orders for one dessert with multiple amounts of spoons as I do for individual ones

I think a take away is the exception as the food hasn't been dished up when you have it. So you can dish it up to share.

I don't mind sharing takeaways. As long as it's served directly on to each individuals plate. I just won't share food of someone's plate that they have been eating. Girls at my work all stick their forks into each other's half eaten food 🤮 I couldn't eat another bite if someone stuck their used cutlery into my food.
