I'm vegetarian, and my husband is a meat eater who hates veg, so usually we just order whatever we want. I might take a little tomato off his plate, or some other veg he finds very repulsive, but we don't tend to share dishes.

Even when I've been out with parties from work, it hasn't been something I've noticed many people do - is it a custom that hasn't reached the UK yet, or do I just run with the wrong crowd?
