Please note that this is the Wiccan DIR. If you are not familiar with Wicca or similar faiths the following will probably seem silly to you. It is not a joke. I take my worship very seriously. I do welcome replies from all (even non-Wicca) as long as the reply is constructive.
So far I have only given a food offering during ritual once. I was thinking up a new (and important) ritual today though. A food offering seems perfect for it. More specifically, a good sized piece of meat will be offered. I came up with the darnedest question about making such an offering though. Should one offer the meat in a whole chunk, such as you would serve it to a guest or should one cut it into pieces like you would for a small child? I do my rituals outside and I leave my offerings after the ritual is complete. I got to thinking about how either metod could have its downfalls. Would a God or Goddess be expected to pick up a large hunk of meat and eat it like a savage or animal? Would the same God or Goddess appreciate or be insulted at one cutting it up for easy consumption? Yes, this is kind of more detail than most have probably ever thought into such a thing. Many of you know how serious I take my rituals though. Everything just has to feel perfect. Oh heck, I am going to put this to a poll, but PLEASE explain your answer in a post.

How would you serve it to someone you've invited to your home?

First vote!! Oh yeah!!
Anyway I think either is fine as long as it makes sense to you. I'm sure they could cut it themselves if you didn't.

Well I would serve it whole, but provide them with utensils. I don't really want to leave my flatware in the yard though. It's not that the Deities aren't worth a piece of flatware, but I would hate for one of my animals to cut themselves while "stealing" my offering the next morning.

Well no, but neither do we. I mean we could pick up a hunk of meat and tear into it with our teeth. I just don't know if that is what They prefer and I am so big on pleasing Them, especially in ritual.

What would please them more, getting everything right on the first try, or trying something out and making adjustments based on how it went and how you think they felt about it?

I think you should cut it up. You know the animals are the ones who'll actually eat it, so think of them, too.
