  1. No its normal, the customer is always right.


  2. when we go to chilis I always get two starters for my main course....boneless buffalo wings and southwest egg rolls...yummmmmm!!

  3. I always have a tomato soup and prawn cocktail at my favourite restaurant.  Both are superb so I don't want to miss one.    

    However I am greedy and have main course and a dessert as well!

  4. I've done it before.

    You're paying so it shouldn't matter.

  5. Nope.  Not at all weird.  You order what you want to eat basically.  Most places will do you a main course version of starters for a little bit more cost.

    Eat what you are comfortable with... bottom line.

  6. I make starters. If you order two of my starters then I'd like you for choosing my wares over those of the chef in charge of mains. It would make me feel more popular and more loved than him!!

  7. i dont eat much so only ever have a starter instead of a main - its not weird.

    your order isnt weird at all - you order what you want, im sure no one will comment - the customer is always right.

    have a great time

  8. not at all, you order what you want

  9. not at all odd..  just tell the server when you want thing sserved, as in do you want to soup first or bring everything the same time as everyone else's dinner...  don't expect him to understand without you saying exactly what you want..

  10. no its not weird....... you eat what you want......

  11. Of course not! What's weird? Sometimes it's nice to sample more of a variety and save a bit of money. I've done this, I got two appetizers--buffalo wings and cheese quesadilla and it was DELICIOUS! Also was cheaper and lighter and I had food left over because there was so much. I definitely recommend it.

  12. I try to eat healthy when at restaurants- often the portions are to much and not at all reasonable.  I like to order a salad first and than an appetizer as my main course

  13. Yes your totally weird --- ( smirk ) ummmmm If that is what you want then order it.

    Tat

  14. Ha ha ha ha..........sometimes the starters are better than the main meal.

  15. No...not weird. Eat what  you want. I almost always order starters instead of the main course. It may just be me...main courses are huge! Just my opinion...I think if more people did that or shared the main course maybe some people wouldn't be over-weight.

  16. nope, not weird at all...

  17. No but if the restaurant is expensive, the chef won't appreciate you changing things up. It's not burger King! But no it's not weird. At least you will enjoy it!

  18. not weird at all - I do the same thing sometimes - just get whatever your heart desires!

    at some places the appetizers are big enough to eat as the meal

  19. I do it when I am not really that hungry and we go to a restaurant, especially a pilace called The Harvester.

    Nacho's and Salad Bar or something like that I have when I go there.

  20. no

  21. Your paying, order what you want.

  22. NOT AT ALL.

    a number of places will also do you a starter & desert offer.

  23. no thats is totally normal 4 u 2 do that

  24. Nope.  It's Your meal, have whatever suits you and don't waste time worrying about what anyone else thinks.  You want to spend your valuable time enjoying your special meal.

  25. no, it's called choice...

  26. Not weird. Order what you like, you are paying after all.

  27. No that's not strange at all...

    Manty places you go to nowadays, often serve huge portions of starter and main meal and to have both could be quite overwhelming.  If the starters are a decent size and you will not be hungry at the ned then go for it.  There are many occasions where I have been torn between two starters and that is the obvious solution and of course, it will probably work out cheaper than ordering a starter and a main meal just to leave half of it.

    As somebody said in an earlier reply "the customer is always right", I am sure that most restaurants have much stranger requests nowadays and can adapt to accomodate just about anybody...your request will be one of the easier ones.

  28. I do that all the time.

    Why order the starters then the main.  Too much food for me.  If I am eating the calories it will be what I want.

  29. No, whatever you like is up to you !

  30. no, its not wierd.  Why do you care what anyone thinks anyway?

  31. Not at all.

    My friends and I often go out a little later than a normal dinnertime and just order starters/appetizers and some cocktails.
