It is thought we eat rice, main dish, side dish and soup alternately. It is like eat side dish or main dish first, eat rice next, and then drink soup, and this is repeated.
We call this "sankaku tabe" in Japanese.
Right or wrong, we have different opinions, but it still exists. I remember elementary school teacher said to kids we should eat meal in this "sankaku tabe" at lunch time. My mom said to me the same thing at home. One of the reason is we should eat in well- balanced. This is good for small eater but it doesn't matter for big eater, which means he doesn't leave the meal. Just he eats dishes at once or alternately. Totally it is same nutrition.
In foreign countries, it doesn't exist. In most of countries, they serve appetizer, main and dessert at restaurant as course menu. How is this at home dinner? Basically it is not course menu, so they eat meal in triangular way like Japanese? Some does, some doesn't, maybe mostly doesn't.
Lately it seems that teacher doesn't tell kids should eat lunch in triangular way at school. I don't tell my son neither, but he is good at eating in triangular.
He always bring empty bento box back to home. Sometimes when he has something to do at lunch time, he has no time to finish his lunch, he says to me "I am sorry I couldn't eat all." I say, "OK."
I always find his leftover in his bento box is well-balanced.
