I even managed to order too much food here at chains that I have eaten at the U.K. simply because a medium sized American pizza is much bigger than a medium sized U.K pizza. For example I was out for lunch with friends yesterday and pizza that was on the menu for children turned out to be 10 inches! I would have had difficulty finishing that for lunch and the 3 year old hadn't a hope of eating it.

I can never understand why people order food and not finish it. I would only ever take what I know I can eat. which is usually quite alot.

Today we decided to eat breakfast and dinner and skip lunch as that made it easier to eat dinner. I have been looking for the smallest things on the menu or at eating starters as a main course.

It can get pretty bad. Hans, however, sees the large portions as a challenge... I’ve been told I’m a ‘cheap date’ because I always order the smallest portions available. It can get pretty bad.
