All you can eat Chinese in Newcastle 'Chinatown'. Lao's Sunday buffet was the special food and cost about £8.

Sunday lunch, about 14:00 leaving after having eaten my fill, two women outside throwing up full length noodles in some sort of Olympic, synchronised puking contest from over eating.

Wok this way was the best though, only cost £3.

Ah, but if you're splitting the bill (which is the only acceptable option)


Is that for all meals out, or just the ones where people do share?
My experience is that the people most keen to split the bill are the ones who've been drinking huge bottles of Peroni all night and ordered three courses.

With the people we do occasionally eat out with I get upset because I do order more beer and (in places like Reds) food than anyone else, and then am not allowed to pay over the split. Lucky I guess.

I will admit I was dangling that out there for the argument to start, just a little bit ;)

I always chuck in more if I've had more

I'm all for it, with curries and things (not burgers or fillets). For me it's the best way to eat something new without taking a big risk and receiving a whole plate of disappointment for oneself. It's partly how I have moved from being a picky eater and quite averse to trying new things into (relatively) bold and eager for new experiences.

Only dine with people that you really like, then it's not a problem (I find).

I recently shared a Chateaubriand with my best mate at a restaurant, he was pushing for it and I was dithering in my menu choice so he ordered it, taking a liberty that only a best mate can get away with :)

It was fine really we got out own sides and the waitress divided the meat for us so after that, it was like your own meal.

Wouldn't normally do it with this sort of food but no issue with Chinese etc.

Only other time I "share" is with desserts, I tend to prefer a starter, my wife likes desserts more, so after she makes her choice she then picks her 2nd option for me. When they arrive we give each other a bit of each dessert.

If I'm out on my own or with work seldom bother with desserts.
