Well the size of the meat also matters. If it is big enough, I don't think it bad but if the meats are not very big, its good to serve the guest two or more. Serving 1 meat is not a bad thing though it just a way of saying one really appreciate their visit and they mean alot.

Lmao.. this topic is funny.
I think it is a Nigerian/ African thing and since the visitor is visiting in Nigeria or is a Nigerian visiting a Nigerian friend abroad, it would be considered disrespectful if they are served with one piece of meat (especially if the piece is small.)However, if the piece is big, I see no reason why the visitor should frown at the food.

Nigerians generally associate a single piece of meat in a meal with poverty grin grin grin grin
So there you go!

Re: Is It Disrespectful To Serve A Visitor With Just 1 Piece Of Meat??? by klas(m): 2:37pm On Mar 12, 2012
In the traditional south-west, it will be better to serve two small pieces of meat than one large piece. Though more than one large piece is best. Serving a piece is considered insultive to the guest if he/she is older than you. If the guest is younger than the host and not very close to him/her, the guest may interprete it to mean that the host is not well-off to afford more than a piece of meat and that may lower the respect for the host. respect counts a lot in south west.

No, it's not disrespectful. Even if there is no meat. So long as you inform them of what is available. It's their choice to decide weather to eat or not.

Re: Is It Disrespectful To Serve A Visitor With Just 1 Piece Of Meat??? by Jemibee: 3:17pm On Mar 12, 2012
It all depends on the person in question. If it's just a friend, a piece would do. Imagine if it's ur in-laws or aunties and uncles, a piece would be being insultive.
Re: Is It Disrespectful To Serve A Visitor With Just 1 Piece Of Meat??? by daywatcher: 3:17pm On Mar 12, 2012
i guess as long as you are not eating more than he/she is then it is ok.
Re: Is It Disrespectful To Serve A Visitor With Just 1 Piece Of Meat??? by Otses(f): 3:17pm On Mar 12, 2012
I beleive it boils down to what the person has at home. If u have more than one in your pot, u can serve 2 or any amount you wish. But if u dont av more than one, will you kill urself all because you want to entertain your guest? Pls you can serve what u av got, nobody will kill you for that oooo
