In fairness, most of our friends (including my brother) with children have two separate dinners pretty frequently, and sometimes even different dinner times, with the kids eating more around 5 or 5:30 - which I still can't comprehend since I'm usually still working then,
Growing up we always ate dinner together, but I definitely know people who do separate dinners for kids. We're both working from home and breakfast and lunch are both on our own, unless one of us feels that there's nothing to eat and goes to pick something up.

I'm not sure I follow your analogy. Have you ever cooked eggplant before? It's sort of like sausage making -- I'm happy to let chefs prepare it because most preparations are very salty and fatty, and if I cooked it myself I'd be reminded of that.
