Do you get it or offer someone else?

It sits on the plate looking delicious, and everyone wants it, but everybody politely leaves it. Then my husband eats it ...

If there is someone else there with me I will offer it, but if it sits there all alone just waiting for someone to come along and eat it you better believe Im going to snag it...lol

Hahaha!! A couple of weeks ago I did it exactly. After church we always have tea and cookie over a chat. Then I saw this last cookie on the plate begging for me to pick it and I couldn't resist it. LOL!

Well if I feel like I have ate enough cookies already. Or if I have a guest and it is the last cookie. I always ask if they want it.

That depends. If I'm at home with just DH with me, I will take it (hey, he has to be faster to race me to the last one ). If I'm having guests over I will offer it to them, it they won't have it I'll take it. I'm a cookieperson, I love cookies and sweets, so it's not easy to stay away from them. I'm glad I learned at least to offer them to my guests in stead of having them all for myself. Have a nice day

Hahah! I like your answer Bieke. I sometimes do the same with my hubby for fun. I also take it if I see it sitting on the plate and begging for me to pick it.

Well the culture here is that people are actually reluctant to get the last piece of whatever food there is. Usually it is offered to another person and to another if that person doesn't want to get it. If no one wants it then that's the only time he will take it for himself.

I actually heard about it from Michael, an English, whom I worked with in Thailand. I know in our country everyone in the group would offer it to everyone who shyly or politely refuses. I really find it funny, you know?

I usually dont even get a chance to offer it to anyone else much less eat it myself. With 3 young boys in my house cookies don't last long!

It all depends. If I were at a party, then I would ask if someone wants the last cookie. But if I am home i have the last cookie. At home I am the only one that is eating the cookies anyway.

Well, since I usually bake them, i often get it! But really, it's whoever goes for it first, which is often my husband as well. If he sees it is the last, he won't leave it for me - he thinks I don't need them and should watch my weight better.
@Jemina (5770)

But as the baker, don't you feel glad when the plate of cookie is emptied by others?

I would probably end up having it. LOL! Out of courtesy, I do offer it to others first. But predictably, as most people are , they refuse it most of the time. Well, good for me. he he he!

If I'm at home then I'd gladly take it without thinking twice. With the eating machines around here, I'd be lucky to get a piece. But if I'm not at home, then I'll decline. Unless if it was offered to me.

I used to decline it too, Swirlz but now I have graduated from that stage. If I see the last cookie on the plate I would gladly take it.

If I like it I will eat it and dont give it to someone. But if I dont like it, I offer it to someone else.

Makes me grin... At home it's gonna be a race for all for the that great last cookie. With my friends, the same thing happens. If it is in a formal gathering, well...I'll be contented staring at it and convince myself that I hate cookies.

Same thing here, Kabaleyan. If I'm with my barkadas the fastest would get it for sure. Otherwise, I always see one last cookie on the plate. Like everybody is waiting for each other to pick. I would love to have it for myself LOL!
