Absolutely energized by how wrong this take is. The belief of someone who doesn't know they're carrying the ludicrously capacious bag. Genuinely can't wait for tomorrow's invigoratingly garbage take!
I have several excellent, meaningful friendships that are based largely or entirely on our overlapping tastes and desire to collude when ordering food.
completely agree in the context of going out to dinner with close friends. also like, why would you want to try a single dish from an awesome restaurant when you can try almost everything !
in my home country we order two curries + two appetizers + one side salad for a table of like 6, and then everyone would say what kind of bread they wanted, naans or rotis or whatever -- and that naturally bled over to when we would be in chinese or italian restaurants as well. imagine my horror when i moved to europe and folks literally said that everyone will order an ENTIRE pizza of their own???? like bruh can we not get two larges for three people this is insanity (also you have to yell at european pizzerias to cut the fcking pizza or they'll send it to you round and smooth)
I think the actual hot take would be anti-sharing, not pro-sharing. Every time I dine out with my friends, it's implied that everything will be shared. The writer should have better friends if that is not the expectation! (Perhaps this is a cultural thing.)
Um, no. If you wanted fries, you should have ordered fries. If you eat some of my fries, you force me to order a second round so I have the amount I expected. THAT'S impolite.
Everyone is missing the actual wrong part, which is splitting the bill evenly. I’m sorry, if you order way more drinks or have shared plates but push for something really expensive that you eat most of, the polite thing to do is say, let’s split but I’ll cover the tip, especially if you make more money than your friends.
Hard pass on this, love my friends, but sharing with becomes an exercise in who can eat the least amount, order the most asinine dish or judge your choices. I want my own dish and I want to eat it all.

sharing food is literally maximising a joint slay, why would you flop by saying no

I didn't order a wooly mammoth. I ordered a rainbow roll, and I want all eight pieces. Get your own. (Lovin' all this hate :)

this is what appetizers are for
100% agree with this take—eating together should mean eating together and that way everyone can try more things!
Wow I am just absolutely sputtering with disagreement! What a good hate read. I was so energized to comment :)

Pleasure to read. Truly deranged take.
I felt this way until I got a job that limited my sick days to 3 a year. now I can't risk it!
