separate dishes
Not sharing plates
Separate dishes refers to the practice of keeping certain foods apart during preparation, cooking, or serving—most commonly for religious dietary laws.
In kosher kitchens, meat and dairy require separate dishes to avoid mixing.
The phrase also applies to serving individual portions rather than family-style: Everyone got separate dishes instead of sharing from the center.
