Sounds arbitrary. Don’t they usually just bring more bread if you run out?
What kind of stupid rule is that?

“Everybody knows […]” means my parent(s) had some weird or strict rules and life lessons that I had hounded into me which I internalized into my very being and never questioned, and now I have unspoken and often unrealistic expectations of people and the world that no one has absolutely any reason to know about.

Ok serious question. I live in a country where they don’t serve you free bread.
What do you do if you eat all the delicious bread then you aren’t hungry anymore?
I had this real life scenario happen when I was in Canada and we felt obligated to order mains even though we didn’t want them.
Is it socially acceptable to pay for your drinks and leave?
DrSoap@lemmy.world 23 minutes ago
No, it’s not. You just take the food home and then eat it later.
rbos@lemmy.ca 3 minutes ago
Yeah, we go to Spaghetti Factory (Canada) and fill up on bread and just tip the main course directly into leftovers containers sometimes.
Dave@lemmy.nz 20 minutes ago
Hmm yeah that’s what we figured. We were on holiday, we couldn’t take food home to eat later so just forced the food down then didn’t eat again for 24 hours 😆

“After seeing you enjoy good food as it was intended, I don’t think I want to continue this. Everyone knows food must only be eaten after you upload pictures of it to Instagram and get a certain number of interactions.”

Guess they love cold bread!

Genuinely, I believe this originates from their family preventing them from filling up on bread at restaurants.
Taniwha420@lemmy.world 38 minutes ago
Ehh … It’s more likely etiquette to not descend on the rolls like a starving Labrador retriever. Much of manners is about self restraint and making oneself ‘small’. The idea is that you wait a minute or two, so it’s not like being at the Chinese food buffet when a fresh load of sweet and sour pork comes out. Everyone piling in for the rolls is undignified. It’s related to the idea that even if you really want that last roll, you ask if anyone else would like it before snatching it for yourself.
… but judging someone for grabbing one when they come out? Pretty prissy.

I remember meeting someone in high school that was confused that everyone was eating and drinking in the same meal. Because in their house and extremely limited world view, you EAT. Then you leave the table and go DRINK.

I think you’re right. I guess they had parents who were big on setting rules, but not on justifying them.
I’m pretty sure my parents throttled my bread intake at restaurants when I was very young for the reason you state, but they accompanied their directive with a “don’t fill up before you get your main course” justification. So I didn’t assimilate it as a rule of etiquette, and instead understood the underlying logic.

That wasn’t the real reason.
Also, hot bread is fantastic.

I’m guessing in this case the real reason is self-sabotage.

Massaged the butter into the bread with his bare hands without breaking eye contact. At least blink so they don’t think you’re a threat.

I’d reply with ‘I don’t like people who can’t use capital letters anyway’ since we’re going with unimportant things.
Sergio@piefed.social 2 hours ago
no capital letters is OK, but you gotta capitalize “I”. Otherwise you’re lookin at someone who’s gonna read you their bad poetry at some point.

Last night was fun, but it was weird the way you looked at me when I ate food at a restaurant. I don’t wish to continue this.

Usually after the type of date that has you thinking about the future with the person and how perfect things seem.
Then you get that.
Gotta do one of those eye-blinking head shakes and just delete the convo and move on. Ain’t worth it.

i have known a lot of people from different walks of life, from different places in the world. I have heard so silly food educate but waiting for 5 minutes before enjoying the pre meal bread is fucking lol
it’s one thing if they eat all the bread in 5 minutes, but getting the appetite started by helping yourself to the initial food offered when it’s served is pretty normal IMO
