there were so many people at the laboratory and diagnostic center, so we waited awhile to be called.
when it was mother's turn, the technician said the reason for the wait is because the test itself takes 45 mins to an hour (even though mother was second in line).
we were so eager to have lunch that we entered the first restaurant we saw and ordered immediately.
when the food came, mother said we share everything 50-50 so we can taste and evaluate everything.
we transfered to a cafe for dessert.
i ordered tea, bread, bar and cake.
again, she insisted we have halves of each.
do you taste or share each other's dishes while eating out?
do you have the main meal in one place, then dessert somewhere else?

yes, but when it's our first time sometimes there are things we like and don't like, or didn't meet our expectations

@hereandthere It may happen that something is not like you expected. This is why my husband tastes what I order and I taste what he ordered, but here people do not have the habit to split.

If I go out to dinner with my daughter or husband, yes, half for each person.

When we go to new places, we sometimes share 50/50 so we can order more items and spilt to try other stuff. But if its a place we know and we like the food, we'd order our own.

i ordered beef, chicken and pork because i wasn't sure which one mother will like, also because it's both our first time there. i'm glad i did because we both noticed the chicken and pork were good, but not the beef and the yellow rice.

We don't go share half of our meals when eating out .. but we take a bite just to get a taste of what each other ordered ..

When we eat out, we each order what we want, because it's what looks best to us at the time. We used share a bite of each other's meal. Sometimes we share an appetizer if it's large. I don't care for desserts, but have a taste of my husband's if it's appealing to me.
We always have our entire meals in one place. Sometimes, if we go out for pizza, we go next door for Italian pastries, Italian ices, or to an ice cream shop.

We rarely eat out, but when we do, we share or taste each other's food.

We do it when we have visitors or when they arrive and we were having our meals.

I love to order food like that where everyone gets something different then we all share everything. It makes eating a lot more fun. I also like to occasionally just go for desert and do the same. My husband hates ordering and eating like this. He says I ordered what I wanted, you order what you want. Needless to say this has sometimes created a bit of an issue but nothing serious.

so where do you eat? it's hard for me to eat standing up, or holding my plate, or put it on my lap.
