Portions and Portion Sizes
Posted 15-Jul-2008 at 07:17 PM by michaelmac
I am sick and tired of going into restaurants to discover an almost empty plate which I just paid quite a bit for.
I ordered fish and chips at Harry Ramsdens to find that they have almost halved the size of their chips portions. I looked at my plate thinking where is the rest.
I think we need to increase food size portions in restaurants. I am sick of paying good money for a measly portion.
I understand in this day and age we are all expected to eat healthily etc but I am a good believer of eating what I enjoy, and try to be moderate and consider your health at the same time.
Who is with me on this?

 |  The last restaurant I went to the size of the meals was way OTT, and to me it seemed such a waste to have to leave so much food on my plate. But I do agree that one should get value for money. I am not a fan of the less is more principle, something pretty and tiny is not going to satify anyones appetite or their wallet. |

| |  I dont understand why meals are made like this, all small and petite. I have found myself eating a plate of food with a portion sutiable for a child costing £15. They may use quality goods and need to pay the chefs etc but the price is ridiculous. I'd rather go to an all you can eat buffet when I am skint than waste it on something so measly. Besides, i like taking my carrier bag with me too  |

| |  Here is the US they have just started serving 1/2 portions at a reduced price. The meals were way over-portioned. I suspect they will get smaller here with prices going up on everything. |
