This may sound weird to some people but my wife and I usually swap dishes (including the plates) after eating half, unless we're both having the same thing or we are having something that the other dislikes.

My wife of 25 years (GRHS) and I always did this, unless avocados or cilantro were involved. I tasted nearly twice as many dishes as I would have otherwise.

My sister and I often split a plate as she doesn't eat much and I could stand to back off on how much I eat. Great for the wallet too
