Serving Plate
When a guest arrives for dinner, it is customary to serve the first guest before serving spouse of one?

Not sure if this only applies mainly a certain ethnic group, but I get into a situation where a guest who is coming and we're trying to be nice to serve the results (which is fed to host board) before serving to my girlfriend. Which somehow makes the results (she) feels uncomfortable. Is it better to leave for the guest to serve themselves?

If you've put all the food on the table in bowls / dishes to serve, the person closest to the results must pass the bread basket to the results and ask "You want a roll (or bread .. whatever)?" In this way the client knows who is really the beginning of the meal (as some people say that grace and other not as a guest, not sure when to start). If there is no bread on the table, use another source and offer guests. Is taken from you and serve themselves. If you are serving food in the kitchen and having intention to take away food at the table, take the first plate of food to guests. Deben (but not always) expect until all people have their dinner table. cheers
