AITA for taking “the best pieces” when I serve dinner?
I cook dinner every day. Or what you could realistically say every day, except for the occasions where we get takeout or whatever else. I wasn’t directly called an asshole for this, but there was a remark of “You get the bigger better piece, huh?”
(corrected ‘bigger’ to ‘better’ as people thought it was a big enough difference to leave someone hungry)
I feel like when I’m the one who figures out what we’re gonna eat, does the grocery shopping, cooks the dinner, then I may have the right to decide who gets who when plating up.. Am I greedy?
I wanna point out that if we get takeout or something like that, I’ll offer up whatever I think they might like, it’s just that when I cooked the meal and such, I feel like I can take the ‘good cut’..
EDIT: To add some info, since the brunt objective stuff isn’t enough;
I always cook more than enough food, often too much, which is a different problem. It’s not supposed to be a relationship thing, but I cook for my partner and our child (our kid is too young to eat our food, so I make them a separate meal) We’re simply talking MINISCULE levels of bigger piece of meat, or better sear, or whatever else qualifies as “better piece”. I’m way bigger than my partner (practically, almost literally twice the size) I don’t ALWAYS take the best piece, but I would say I do it more than I give it. It’s not 50/50, skewed towards me taking it more often than giving it. As I also pointed out, if there’s a piece of something I know my partner likes more than I do, I’ll readily give that piece, even if I also like it, if I know it’s their favorite (or really appreciated).
An example is 4 pieces of meat. 3 the same size, 1 a bit smaller. I’d take 2 same-size and give the normal sized and smaller to my partner.

EXTRA EDIT*(why is this needed??)*: The comment was not from a harmful, hateful, angry place. I made one of the dishes we both favor, like top 5 kind of dishes I make, and my partner commented on me having a ‘better’ piece, with a figurative (maybe literal) curl of their lip. This is not a relationship AITA. This is about the act of taking the ‘better piece’ as the cook.
For other clarification I don’t ALWAYS take the ‘better piece’ but I will admit I do it a majority of the time, let’s say 60%. Keep in mind there’s a bunch of dishes that don’t have separately cooked pieces, in those cases it’s obviously not possible to take the ‘better piece’.
