Re: One dish wedding rule is stupid
It doesn’t get wasted. Poor people get fed with this extra food plus the remaining food is distributed amongst relatives, neighbours, masis etc after coming home. And a small portion of it is kept home so groom’s/bride’s side can feed themselves. Extra food is always good. Whenever some guests come to your place, you make all the things bit extra. Better over than under man. Food just don’t get wasted in Pakistan, trust me, you will always get so many poor people whom you can feed that food.
The only form of wastage I have come across in shadis is when some guests make mountains of biryani, naans, salans etc in their plates, then aren’t able to finish that all, hence food gets wasted. And this happens in majority of weddings whether you are serving hundred dishes or just one.
All we need to do is educate ourselves & make people aware that food shouldn’t be wasted. Simple!
And people having 100 dishes, 1000+ dishes or just one dish on their wedding day is not anyone’s business.
