Wait, isn't OP saying to just cut a piece and leave it on the dish for someone to take, not eat it?

If it's pie, you can't get under it easily, because pie servers are really best shaped to scoop in from the side. If it's cake, you can't just topple it over onto the plate because there's more cake in the way.

>Reality: people think you brought a gently-used dessert.

Seems like a negative way to think. Do you do that with everything else too?

Lol depends on the crowd, too.

I used to perform with a group of older women and had the opposite experience. Half the group was perpetually dieting (or "dieting") and nobody wanted to look greedy by taking a larger portion.

Bring in two dozen donuts? Nobody would touch them.

Cut those same donuts into quarters? They'd be gone in ten minutes.

Savages. It was the rule, but they definitely enjoyed their thirds. They thought I served myself first "like normal people".

And as a child the same age as the other campers at the table (or younger!) I couldn't exactly tell them off or enforce the rule.

It's crazy how that works too. Especially since they were saying how delicious it looked!

Who doesn’t use a “don’t get seconds until everybody has had firsts” rule?

This is so true. My coconut cake sat untouched at a party one time. Everyone kept saying how delicious it looked. Well, I cut myself a slice and low and behold, the cake was gone in 15 minutes.

Always take the first slice AND the last slice. No one wants the be responsible for either.

Had a friend bring a store bought dutch chocolate cake over for Friendsgiving with about 10 people one year. He cut the first piece at a reasonable size, everyone else followed suit, and by the time everyone got theirs about half the cake was left. By that time the friend had finished his piece, politely asked if anyone else wanted anymore (meanwhile we're all two bites in to ours), and after everyone said no, he pulls the cake container in front of him and then proceeds to eat the entire second half of the cake in about the time it took for me to eat my one slice!
