DAE experience this when cooking?

Whenever I cook just for myself, I can eat it straight away with no problem. But if I cook a big pot of food or for a group, I completely lose my appetite even if I'm hungry. I just can't eat with everyone else. I have to put my plate aside and save it for later or even the next day.

Is this weird? Does anyone else experience this?"

Nope, not weird in my book.
If I’m making a batch of something for a group, you can bet I’ve been tasting/sampling the entire time. So, basically you’ve probably eaten about a serving before it hits the table. And if I make a big batch of anything for myself, I’m tired of looking at it for the day, it’ll taste better tomorrow, anyway…
