From where we stand, you can tell a lot about a table of two by how fast the phones go face down. The ones with a single platter between them get there first. Nobody asks what the other person ordered, because it is all one order, and it serves 2 people.
Someone says "you have to try this" before the plates have even settled. Someone else hovers over the same piece for far too long. By the end they have stopped being polite about it, and the table is a happy mess.
That is the kind of evening the festive platter was made for. Who do you always end up sharing the last bite with?
