Question

Is it impolite to share food at a non-relative dinner?

Answer 1

no....well it depends on whether you are with your friends or not

like if you have no idea who the people are then its just weird and awkward

it also depends on the type of resteraunt...if you are at one...like if its a really nice one, you should share with anyone...unless no one is looking

Answer 2

Honestly, yes. Unless you order that way and are asking for a split plate, to be dumping your food on someone else's plate, vice versa, or reaching across with your fork, is considered improper table manners.

Is it that big of a deal?  In my opinion, no. But you don't know how other people are perceiving that behavior so why take the chance?

Answer 3

No. It is how you make good friends. If you don't make anyone ill, they know they can trust you, and will come back for more. Sharing food will help curtail obesity. Lets all do it.
