How many people would prefer to make a meal at home or dine out?
I have only recently had two meals out. Normally I don't, I cook.
I have to say they were shocking. Over-priced and under-rated meals.
I was so disappointed in the quality of food available. I'm not talking about fast food restaurants; I'm talking about Restaurants.
My husband was starving after the meal as the portions were so small and the price for accompaniments was ridiculous!
Overall it was just too expensive for what we received and not as good as what I can cook myself.
What do you think?
Also have you had a really great/bad dining experience. Share it here! 8)
What would you prefer?

I choose both. Usually we cook at home but sometime we eat out. We dine out because sometime we feel like to eat different cuisines, food that we can’t cook at home, going out with friends and family or to bore to eat at home. Good food good price defend where you go. Just like you cook at home, the result is not always the same. It turns out good and it also turns out terrible sometime.

Me too! I like to try different things that is why in the last couple of weeks I have eaten out (Restaurants) a couple of times to get some ideas. Obviously I just happened to chose the wrong restaurants. It certainly would be a very expensive hobby if you did it too regularly.LennyeTran wrote:Can't argue with this .vince90 wrote:I choose both.

When you work in a restaurant, when you see how much food we waste... how many meals people don't finish...shazzam1452 wrote:Hi Shokin this topic isn't about fast food, it is about dining out (fine dining - Restaurants).shokin wrote:At home !

Wasting food is everywhere. It can not be only restaurants. It could be from homes, schools, hospitals and etc.shokin wrote:When you work in a restaurant, when you see how much food we waste... how many meals people don't finish...shazzam1452 wrote:Hi Shokin this topic isn't about fast food, it is about dining out (fine dining - Restaurants).shokin wrote:At home !

I'm lucky I have a dog and she eats all the scraps from the table. We don't waste much in this house except for salad, she isn't too keen on salad!vince90 wrote:Wasting food is everywhere.

All the left over vegetables and fruit (including peels) go into my compost bin and we use it on the gardens (free fertilizer).

At home you can easily avoid cooking too much food (and having to put it away).vince90 wrote:Wasting food is everywhere. It can not be only restaurants.
