Large portions of food

There was an article on TV recently where a landlord who has a carvery, is going to issue fines to people who pile their plates so high, then leave half of it. I think he said people were welcome to go back for more vegetables, but he is sick of the wasted good food he has to throw away.

I can't eat large portions because of a medical condition, so I always ask for a smaller portion. Most places are happy to oblige - just ask before you order.

Likewise yesterday we went for a carvery, huge portions. I like a little of everything but it is impossible. And to answer your question yes it does put me off.
Now this is a bit of a contradiction as I eat a lot, but if it’s all presented in one go it’s just a no-no for me.

Visited a lovely pub restaurant recently but the portion on my plate was one of the largest I have ever seen. I like to see what is on the plate with the meat/fish surrounded by the vegetables. This was piled so high it was impossible to see what was what! Yes it is difficult for restaurants to please everyone but I just found it so off putting. On this occasion it even beat Mr J and that is saying something! Lovely as the pub was I just can't face visiting again. Would you find large portions like this not right for you?
