She invited guests to eat from disposable dishes. I describe their reactions and impressions
Hello again!
The other day I posted an article in which I described my impressions of going to visit friends on the post-New Year's days. There was a nonsense that did not fit into my personally head. The owners of the house invited me and my husband to visit. And they covered the table with disposable dishes with salads from N years ago.
It’s not that I gave the event any special significance. Plastic fork, here's a glass - but oh well. The main thing is to see each other. Then I decided to write a note on my blog that personally for me such a setting of a festive table at home is unacceptable. What caused the outrage of the audience)
I'm already used to the fact that 80% of commentators, reading diagonally, leave their opinions with one purpose - to show their white coat and justify the author. And for a long time I have not attached importance to such messages. If you want to vent your anger somewhere, please. If you use the Internet not for self-education and pleasant entertainment, but as a tool for a kind of approval - welcome)
The inference that a well-standing salad two days ago is the norm, I can refute, without bothering, with the phrase of one authoritative source:
There is only one freshness - the first, it is also the last. And if the sturgeon is of the second freshness, it means that it is rotten!
But what about the statements that plastic dishes for invited guests - quite acceptable? I decided to conduct an experiment.
Today, at our home, a mini-celebration is scheduled with friends and relatives, whom we did not have time to see in the coming year. And for the experiment, I placed sets of disposable tableware in place for the guests.
The guests know that I have a few Zen blogs, so they weren't surprised by subsequent inquiries about my impressions of the "bum" serving:
I'll go straight to the retelling of the reviews.
Maria, friend: At least it seemed strange to me. But, of course, I will not make a claim. coming to visit. A pile of salads and a delicious chicken with homemade sauce on the table - I saw that you spent a lot of time, effort and money on cooking. Therefore, the plastic dishes looked alien.
Anton, husband of Mary: I usually don't pay attention to the dishes, but today I was surprised. I don't think this is the best option for meeting guests.
Ilya, husband's friend: I didn't like this option. My mom would never do that.
Alena, friend: Not bad, but no need to wash. But it reminded me of my grandmother's commemoration in the village.
Igor, husband's brother: I don’t really care (word for word).
Of course, then I replaced the dishes for the holiday with normal, albeit inexpensive. I love it when all the guests have the same plates, and not a mixed hodgepodge. On NG, 3 pieces were broken. Therefore, I found a very inexpensive option in "Magnet":
The cost of one plate is only 89 rubles. It's easier to buy them than to cause confusion with plastic serving.
If you agree that plastic dishes are unacceptable for meeting guests, put "Thumbs up"! What kind of dish would you prefer to eat from?
