‘Family-style’ food – when everything is laid out on platters – requires tenacity, planning, and getting to the table first.
A buffet you can handle because the rules are clear that everyone can help themselves, and you can do repeat visits to the spread, so you can pretty much guarantee you won’t go hungry.
When sharing food, there’s always someone who’ll say, ‘I’m actually not that hungry’ who will then proceed to eat way more than their fair share. You hate them.
You really like soup. Soup cannot be shared. Actually, bowl food in general was a brilliant invention.
One-for-one when it comes to crisps is not a concept you’re familiar with.
