As the saying goes, food is the foundation of the country and food is the most important thing for the people, which shows how important it is for us to eat. With the continuous improvement of living standards, people's eating is no longer limited to families and canteens, and it is not uncommon to eat in restaurants. Whether in family, work unit or hotel, it involves the problem of sharing meals and sharing meals.

the dining system is a way of eating with shared tableware. Its main advantage is that it saves tableware, and everyone can share many dishes together, which promotes the intimacy between people and has a warm atmosphere, so it is especially suitable for celebration occasions. Disadvantages are infectious diseases, easy to cause food waste and difficult to distinguish responsibilities.

separate dining system, that is, eating with tableware. The main advantages of separate meals system are hygiene, not easy to spread diseases, and it is easy to find those who waste meals, which is conducive to saving; Disadvantages are that tableware is used in large quantities, many dishes cannot be shared, and the dining atmosphere is not warm enough. Westerners, on the other hand, mostly eat separately. They don't eat in the same plate with others. Most people eat their own plates, because they think it's hygienic.

In China, the system of combined meals is mostly adopted, while in western developed countries, the system of separate meals is widely used. In the final analysis, it is still a cultural difference. Chinese civilization is the only civilization in the world that has been continuously layered, disappeared, and has continued to this day, and it has been passed down forever, including food culture, especially sitting around a table. This habit has not changed for thousands of years, and there is no reason to change it. In recent years, with the continuous exchange and integration of eastern and western cultures, people are constantly improving their lifestyles. As far as catering is concerned, the two catering systems complement each other and derive a way in between. For example, the separate-meal system also provides * * * dishes, just like the improved combined-meal system, in which public clips, chopsticks or spoons are placed in each dish. I believe that they will all develop in a healthy and civilized direction.
