[quote=PINETREE ,23311]QUOTEIn '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.UNQUOTE.So there is a cultural difference. You wait till everyone else is served before serving yourself. So amongst the everybody else, who is normally served 1st ? The server at the table cannot have several hands to serve all the everyone else at the same time !I wonder what is "educated" society here ? [/quote]
