Is it normal not to finish the food on your plate?

It annoys me when people put food on their plate, don't eat it and I wanted it. Why should I have to eat breast chicken because someone else put two legs on their plate and then decided thy didn't want them?

I lick my plate clean 12
I eat everything I serve myself 33
I leave the last mouthful as a sign to the host I am satisfied 12
I load up and then pick out the best bits 12
I don't use a plate 13
Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

    Fuck that. If I can't force it down in the first place I'll save it for later!

  • Sometimes people have eyes bigger than their stomachs.

      That's the proverb I was aiming for in my comment, but instead of saying stomachs I said mouths, which kind of works... But not really :P

      • Hahaha, I just read it now. :D
        I think it gets the point across though, doesn't it.

        You always make such good comments on IIN; they're intelligent and logical. However, this time, I have to disagree with you: leg chicken is nicer... Just saying. ;P

    If I'm not hungry, I give my food to someone else or wrap it up for later.

    Breast chicken is nicer than leg chicken... Just saying.

    Anyway, some people's eyes are bigger than their mouths and they overestimate their bellies. Other people don't like what they're eating enough to jam it all in. If you're so eager to clean their plate for them, ask if you can finish what they've left.

    That, or accept that some people are more picky, more full or less enamoured with what's on their plate than you are and move on.

        Well it is one of the greatest songs ever written, so I'm not surprised. You should sing it every day, as I do; I sing it five times a day whilst facing east towards the Vengaboys album on my shelf.

          Damn You! (and the user above)

          I haven't heard that song in ages, and now I just had to go and listen to it again!

    I only eat food if it looks BEAUTIFUL and eat only the BEAUTIFUL part of it. Yeah, I'm picky.

    My eyes are always bigger than my stomach. ALWAYS.

    I always make sure that no-one else wants the bit that I want, then I'll take it. But I always use a knife and fork, sometimes even for sandwiches - so no-one has a problem with taking my uneaten food... But maybe that's just my friends!

  • My sister half-eats everything and yes, it's extremely annoying. There's always something half eaten in the refrigerator that she's saving for later. I don't like eating after people or throwing away food so it stays like that.

    I'd rather go back for seconds than put too much on my plate. The only exception is Thanksgiving, but in that case I pile it high and eat everything even when I'm full because.... it's Thanksgiving. I freaking love ham, macaroni, and stuffing.

    Ah . Guilty

    Sometimes
    I usually eat it all though

    But if I am not hungry and I'm with friends/family I will ask them if they wanna eat mine.
