Is it just me - or do other people feel put off by meals that get served, piled high on plates. I wish you could get a choice small or large, as I feel so bad about leaving so much food. |

I think they serve wayyyyy too much. I used to be able to eat it all but not any more. Such a waste. Should be like America where they automatically give you a doggy bag to take the rest home. |

Some restaurants won't give doggy bags, because if you take it home, re-heat it, and get food poisoning, they can be held responsible.
Personally I think that's crap, the restaurant I work for gives doggy bags, especially on Sunday, because the roasts are huuugggeee!!!! |

Lol not at all naughty. You would think looking at me it wouldn't be a problem. Then I see dead skinny girls polish off great plates of food. It's like watching a magic trick , I don't know how they do it!! |

Would love to hear where these restraunts are that serve too much - I quite often have to swing by the chippy on the way home after eating out! Sometimes seems like the more you pay the less you get.... |

I love carvery because if Ive been good with my food all week Ill have an adults plateful of all the well done bits of joints that most others wont want, and a few veg...
If Ive been nawty in the week, Ill have a childs portion and go back for more veg...
Dont get why people load up platefuls, in a self service, and leave half of it... |

In the restaurant I work in we do all you can eat breakfast. Them amount of waste is shocking. People pile their plates high with stuff from the continental selection, leave half of that, then pile another plate high with cooked stuff, then leave most of that.
I think it's a case of "I've paid for it, so I'll have it, so no one else can." |

Oh dear hope ive not offended anyone 
Maybe the restaurants round our way just assume we're all greedy buggers lol
If we go for a 3 course meal now I just pace myself and leave bits on each course - so wasteful but only way I can manage. Mr notts is at hand to help me too of course  |

"went on a cruise once with a load of Americans, ffs, once the buffet was announced....... the ship nearly upended as they ran for the plates."
Yep, it was the same in Vegas when we went there, I wouldn't mind but it's not as if there wasn't much choice of where to go, the way some of them were battling over stuff and piling their plates was totally grotesque. Hey that's capitalism for you though, pump up the fat yanks and forget about the hungry people in the countries that are basically used as their farms, let them eat cake!
Don't worry that their crops are all dying because their water supply has been filtered off to the local US pop plants, just so long as fat Randy and Suzy-May can have a supersize when they manage to squeeze themselves on a plane and go and visit in their cultural journeys  |

Went out for a lovely meal, paid for by my employer as a "thank you".
The portions were just right to enable me to eat 3 courses.
However, they would be considered as small for those who like to pile their plates high at "all you can eat" buffets.
