Actually I feel bad leaving it here because there's more to the story: the non-lovely French also did a lot to hide and smuggle out their Jewish neighbors and friends, and France has one of the highest number of people from that time who are considered Righteous Among the Nations (after Poland and Netherlands). So it's complicated. Lemniscate Blue has a new favorite as of 05:57 on Feb 26, 2021 |

Food is a communal experience. Not sharing food is bad. If there are dietary requirements, you accommodate them. The only tricky part are rounds if you have individualized drink preferences and/or Muslims (I suppose this could be generalized to "non-drinkers" but if I'm with a friend in recovery we either accommodate by not drinking or being a sport and letting their pepsis subsidize our drinks, depending on their stage of recovery and yada-yada). Individualized drink preferences are trickier but you can work that out.

I don't remember which conservative grifter it was, but there was at least one who was dating a guy that wouldn't eat food unless it was traditionally Anglo-Saxon. Like, he wouldn't eat ketchup because tomatoes were a new world fruit.

Because of that, Marxism has had to evolve. That's a good thing. The liberal response to fascism has been . . . less robust. To liberalism's detriment, since it is being actively coopted by fascism. The Marxists in me says, "same as it ever was" but it's one of those cases where "winning" is actually "losing" unless we get a revolution out of this.

Arsenic Lupin posted:Anybody who wants bites of my dessert had better have bites of their dessert to offer in exchange. No dessert freeloaders! This is like anathema to me, I love "family style" dining, especially Thai or Indian food, like gently caress yeah I want a little bit of EVERY curry. It can get a bit tricky bill-splitting wise if you've got some drinkers and non-drinkers, someone who just wants something small, division of leftovers etc, but that's why you tip your waitstaff double for driving them crazy with really specific check splits. It's a lot harder to split like a burger or a chicken parmesan or something, but it's nice to try a little of your companion's dish (assuming two people), especially if it's something you wouldn't order normally.

VinylonUnderground posted:Food is a communal experience. Not sharing food is bad. If there are dietary requirements, you accommodate them. I worked doing humanitarian work in Greece for almost 4 years, which means i took a LOT of groups of new volunteers out for introductory meals (one group of 30 on average every two weeks) and it was really interesting seeing which cultural backgrounds were fine with the whole 'family style, order a bunch of stuff and just share everything and split the bill evenly' approach and which were not. Obviously doctors and nurses that travel across the world to help people probably self select slightly for being sharers in general, but Americans were mostly fine with it, Norwegians and Germans were really weirded out, but the Danish were all about it. Super interesting. Wish I'd kept a chart. Religion was almost never a factor though.

Her parents wouldn't even let them have a sip of a drink, much less a bite of food. Shes still super weird about sharing food, and we've been together for almost twenty years and married for 13 this year. My best friend and I will go out to eat (which is apparently weird for guys?) and usually order a couple apps and mains and share, so we can try multiple things.
