For C. and me it's the same way. Usually, we each have a first and
second choice, and we can make something work out of that. The
difficulty at times arises with wine choice, but usually that's finessable.
Seldom have we ordered the same thing, but it's happened, and usually
it's the fault of the wine.
Conversely, I have been in situations where I got the distinct impression that it was not cool to order a different meal from everyone else.
I'd probably resist this kind of peer pressure; don't know, as I've
never noticed it before.
If your spouse is agonizing between two choices maybe s/he should be the one to order the entree that you don't like!
Exactamente.
