I used to have this. Always seemed pointless going out for dinner and having the same thing, when I could cook the same thing for both of us at home. Or something.

I’ve relented.

Ordering the same thing as someone else at your table

  • Totally fine
  • A little annoying but still, totally fine
  • Somehow an issue

Sharing food with the other person you’re dining with:

  • Swap those plates
  • You can try a little taste but don’t you dare steal a prawn
  • Joey doesn’t share food

why must you hurt yourself like this man?

I am freeing myself from the tyranny of too much choice AND Boss effects sound fucking great, they do anything and they’re cheap.

I’m not going out to eat to have a good meal, I’m eating out to show that my menu pick is better than my TVs

Let me tell you a story. In fact, it’s called the ‘King story’ among those who were present and who believe it’s a perfect example of Pardew’s arrogance. We were staying at a hotel in the North East ahead of a game at Sunderland during Alan’s first season in charge and were about to have our Friday evening meal…I sat down with Pardew…and fitness coach Tony Strudwick, who now works for Manchester United and has done very well for himself. We ordered our meals and suddenly Pardew asked us all what were were having. I think Eddie said he’d gone for the chicken, while I’d chosen the steak.

‘Pards then turned to Struds, who revealed whatever it was he’d asked for. ‘That sounds good,’ said Pards. ‘Tell you what; if yours is better than mine when it turns up, I’m having that. That was one of the things he’d always say: I’m having that. ‘See that bloke’s haircut. I’m having that.’ He said it all the time. Anyway, I wasn’t ‘having that’ at all. So I said ‘Well, you’re certainly not having my dinner. You’ll get a fork in the back of your hand!’ Pardew sort of laughed, before turning back to Struds and saying, ‘Yeah, if yours is better than mine, I’m having that.’

‘Our meals eventually arrived and Pards looked at Tony and said, ‘Yeah, I was right, yours definitely looks much better than mine; I’m having that.’ And he went to swap the plates over. ‘You can’t do that!’ I said. ‘What do you mean?’ he asked. ‘You can’t just take somebody’s else’s dinner,’ I said in disbelief. And he replied, without any hint of a joke, ‘When you’re the King, you can do anything.’

Used to think ordering two different meals and having half of each was one of the key perks of being in a couple, but have now hardened my stance to “you may have one bite, I refuse to take the rap for your rubbish ordering”.

Always do a little taster of the other person’s plate - and yep, one prawn is fine so long as there are plenty of prawns

#97

One for the money
Two for the show

3’s the magic number

Oh I just thought of one! If I am sharing something, I have to have the last bite, It doesn’t matter how big the bite is, but I have to finish the meal / crisps / choc bar that I have started. Feels very strange otherwise, incomplete

I used to be quite fussy about the no sharing thing, but my other half is a vegetarian, which means that I won’t even get asked to share my dinner.

Jimbo ALWAYS shares my breakfast though, regardless of what I have. It’s great father son bonding.

Sharing (and buying extra) yes.full on swapping? Nah.

#104

i’ll lose out if it comes to sharing, not assertive enough and wouldn’t be able to stand the thought of taking more than my fair share so would probably end up having less than my fair share and being irked
