>and what was served was what was served.

yeah but like, what makes you think that "what was served" was served with absolutely no concern for what members of the family liked or disliked.

I won't say there was zero concern (people did fight for the best durian), but overall, everyone was just happy to have food. The concept of being able to even be a picky eater just didn't exist (or at least, I never saw it) outside of genuine allergies or the like.
