[quote=APAULT ,23309]It is very dangerous to make such generalisations about the west. The west is made up many counties with a wide range of traditions. These traditions vary between sub-cultures, especially class, and change over time. In many western counties the senior male used to receive the first serving at meal times, though I believe this is less true today - it is more likely to be the children. Of course guests will also receive priority. In 'educated' society in the countries I am familiar with, it is immaterial who receives first serving because good manners says we should all wait until everyone has been served - remembering that we serve a 'helping' onto the plate rather than all diving into the common dishes with our dirty knives and forks[/quote]
