To think DW serves dinner in a non-optimal way

Sunday lunch for example:

Lift plate1, peas, carrots spuds, meat etc
Lift plate2, peas, carrots spuds, meat etc

Takes ages.

When I do it (majority of time):

Lift carrots - plate 1, plate 2, plate 3, plate 4, plate 5
Lift peas - plate 1, plate 2, plate 3, plate 4, plate 5

Seems much much faster and food is hotter when it arrives on table.

Well done on starting the pettiest thread known to man Grin

It doesn't matter, scrap the dinner, get fish and chips and shag instead.

Dothraki · 28/01/2013 23:26

sausage Grin

Bluestocking · 28/01/2013 23:26

So offer to dish up yourself then?

Seriously????

ceeveebee · 28/01/2013 23:30

As OP says he usually does it himself so not sure why all the snide comments, if OP was posting about DH I'm sure they'd be lots of agreement

And I agree with you, she's wasting valuable eating time

flow4 · 28/01/2013 23:30

In the time you wasted took writing this MrGrumpy, you could have prepared tomorrow's meals too...

LadyBeagleEyes · 28/01/2013 23:31

He does do it the majority of the time.
It says in the Op.
I do it your way Op.
I think this was supposed to be lighthearted wasn't it? Confused

galletti · 28/01/2013 23:32

dh does method one - works for us! Especially for me, as he does it!

BerthaKitt · 28/01/2013 23:32

You remind me of Jason Thunderpants. Are you him? Is he you?

As for the pressing issue of serving up lunch, Y may or may not BU, I will have to conduct a timed experiment at dinner tomorrow and get back to you.

MorrisZapp · 28/01/2013 23:32

Yanbu

That would annoy me.

TrinityRhino · 28/01/2013 23:33

I do your method

easier to divvy it up the way I want between big and little people and big and little appetites

TheRevengeOfMrGrumpy · 28/01/2013 23:36

No, not Jason Thunderpants, but I loved some of his threads.

I show her the optimal way, but she insists on doing it her long winded way.

YANBU. I do it the sensible way too Grin

HeadfirstForHalos · 28/01/2013 23:38

And my mil does it your wife's way!

Of course, for optimal serving speed, lob it all in a communal trough and dive in.

2LBroomStick · 28/01/2013 23:39

ilovesooty · 28/01/2013 23:40

Just liquidise everything and attach yourself to an IV.

senua · 28/01/2013 23:42

Surely the optimal way is to put it (once) in a servng dish and let people help themselves. Many hands make light work.
It's never to soon to introduce the DC to the concept of delegation.

ceeveebee · 28/01/2013 23:45

And create 3 or 4 extra dishes to wash?
I only use serving dishes when we have guests. And I've read research saying people eat more if food served in dishes rather than plated up

BegoniaBampot · 28/01/2013 23:48

Shit, too much wine, I'm still trying to work it out!

ElliesWellies · 28/01/2013 23:50

So long as you warm the plates, I would have thought either is fine...

StuntGirl · 29/01/2013 00:05

I don't care how people serve it up as long as I get to eat it Grin
