|
||
one where food is served family-style and shared. There is a common
|
||
heuristic about the amount of food to order, expressed as “<span class="quote">Get
|
||
<tt class="literal">N - 1</tt> entrees</span>”; the value of
|
||
<tt class="literal">N</tt>, which is the number of people in the
|
||
group, can be inferred from context (see <a href="../N/N.html"><i class="glossterm">N</i></a>). See
