We all have to be dishes on a plate eventually, with the way we are marketed, but I have no intention of being a cheap Chinese all-you-can-eat buffet.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
At home, I never plate. Things go in the middle of the table, and you serve yourself. In the restaurant, every day I plate things, but at home, I want to enjoy my company.
I do a lot of recipe creation. Translation: cooking tempting dishes that must be eaten.
I can't cook, but I have a nice book of menus... and I can plate and set the table.
When I cook a meal, I like to serve things one by one and keep them separate. I get that from my father - he's such a purist. Some people even put their desserts on the main plate. It's just wrong.
Chinese restaurants have long been a weekly or monthly ritual for many Americans.
I like cooking, but I think someone else ought to do the dishes.
I like complicated dishes but also appreciate simple foods.
Know how to behave at a buffet. Take a clean plate for a second helping.
I'm a big buffet dude, or I'm a big cheap-food-and-order-more-when-I-need-it dude.
Sandwiches are wonderful. You don't need a spoon or a plate!
