Pass Food Left to Right





Dear Dr. Dave & Dr Dee,

When having dinner at my in-laws, the dishes were passed in every direction, right, left, across the table. Isn't the proper way to pass the food at the dinner table from left to right when beginning the meal serving?

Signed,

Proper Passing

Dear Proper Passing,

Yes, food dishes are passed from left to right (counterclockwise).
