Rhian darlin' - picture this: a 12" dinner plate. A yorkshire pudding the same size as the plate. Inside the pudding slices of beef, onion and a very rich gravy. On top of that another 12" yorkshire pudding and on top of all that a large portion of chips!!! I managed most of it, but have to confess I couldn't finish all the chips - t'was delicious though!!!18-02-2018, 08:24 PM

You're kidding aren't you ? What you trying to do? Sink the Titanic?My typical days food is two slices of toast for brekky and a bowl of soup for tea ... sometimes a medium sized jacket potato with a bit of tuna or scrambled egg instead for a change.
I haven't been to a restaurant for years. Waste of money and time trying to eat it all.

Re: Too big?
I only use a salad plate indoors now and I don't fill itEating out is a nightmare. Some places we go the portions are so large, mr missy orders and I ask for a plate and share his. Same if we get Chinese take out, he gets a box meal for him, I take some of that
Some places do pensioner portions which are smaller and I order those.
It's not that I don't like my food, I do, my stomach just turns if I see a pile of it plonked in front of me

I kid you not, the pub was in Huddersfield and it served what it called a yorkshire pudding sandwich, which was as I described, two large (12") yorkshire puddings with slices of beef and a rich gravy and a pile of chips on top!!!

Re: Too big?
I remember many years ago ordering dessert for my 6yr old daughter in the USA she wanted chocolate cake. I said a small portion please, when it arrived it was a quarter of one of those 12 portion cakes you can buy here, her eyes lit up but of course most of it was wasted.I don't understand the preoccupation with chips here these days we never had chips as kids they should be banned.
