菜效用要高。而且从饭店
的角度来看，这样顾客更有可能点不止五个菜。可是为什么大部分美国人都是各自点菜

but not necessarily. What if I do not like what you ordered? What if some
are vegetarian and some are not? What if I do not have good appetite now and
only want a soup or a salad? What if there are some leftover? Who can bring
it home? Also female tends to eat less than male....After taking into
