Questions

I appologize for my Polglish. I don't know the term in English, but in Polish, "na raty" basically means "one at a time." For example, you can be having beans, potatoes and chicken for dinner, but instead of just having everything on one plate and eating a little bit of this and a little bit of that, you are served and eat one item at a time.

Asian people do it like this. My mom was annoyed, because we literally thought they forgot the meat and were starting to leave. So in restaurants, I too prefer all main course items/sides to be served at once. But at home, I prefer to eat "na raty", because otherwise my main dish gets cold, and also I don't like to mix items because it ruins the taste craving. So if I start eating the meat, I don't go back to the other items, so I like to eat each portion of the meal as it comes off the stove. So I usually eat a salad or beans first. Then potato or macaroni. And then the meat, if it's a three course meal.

I don't know, what about YOU guys?

And is it a cultural thing or a personal preferance?
