I find that when eating out the portions are enormous and I feel bad leaving half a plate full of food.

I had a delicious toasted panini today filled with that white crumbly cheese called ?? Plus lots of delicious vegetables and balsamic dressing and rocket with half a pot of chips, yummie. Yet again I could only eat half so they gave me a doggy bag for DH and myself to bring the leftovers home. We then finished it for supper with crisps and an apple.

They used to serve large/small plates of food in restaurants, but sadly no longer.

I definitely don’t have the appetite I used to have.

This thread has been a revelation to me!
I thought I was the only person with a small appetite.
Sometimes, if it’s possible, I have a starter as a main course. But there’s always someone who says, “Is that all you’re having?”

A few years back DH and I went for tea which consisted of dainty sandwiches, scones with cream and jam and a slice of cake with a pot of tea. Even a greedy guts like me couldn't finish it so we accepted the doggy bags so we could enjoy the cake later. It was lovely but filling.

I wonder if my friend can give me a doggy bag when we go for dinner? She is a great cook but puts out huge portions, I have politely asked for a smaller portion to no avail. Two courses are more than enough for me but she does three plus a cheese board. I normally eat half the starter and half the main course. Last time we went I declined the dessert and she was rather put out as she had obviously put a lot of time and effort in to making it. Of course we all have different appetites I just wish I could get my friend to see that without her taking offence.
