My Nigerian roommate always used to bitch about how big American portions are.Mint Sauce wrote:
I just recently came back from New York. Couldn't physically cope with the amount of food served. Ate breakfast the first day but realised that I felt sick by the end of the day after both lunch and dinner, so didn't eat breakfast for the rest of the trip. How do you guys eat so much? D
I rarely eat breakfast, and i'm at uni so dinner is whatever is easiest, pizza or pasta normally haha
It didnt' really bother me, I just skipped breakfast, something I do anyway so. But it's still a lot of food. And also your bottles of soft drinks are bigger than ours. Interesting stuff.Poseidon wrote:

Pussies, the lot of you.
Nah, I agree... almost every time I go out to dinner I bring back part of it or just leave a portion. Then again I've been on a constant diet since March of '09 so I'm not used to eating that much.Mint Sauce wrote:

Ooh that's another thing! Americans in general always take what food they don't eat away with them, I suppose that's because there's always so much. But if you did that anywhere in Europe the waiter/waitress would look at you as if you were mad.Poseidon wrote:

I'm not sure, it's just not something that is ever done here. Maybe some people do it in England, albeit rarely. But if you were to do it in France/Spain/Italy etc i'm pretty confident they'd laugh at you.Hurricane2k9 wrote:

it's considered impolite and improper at the fancier 'cultured' european eating establishments. the french are notoriously fussy and prim and proper with their food-- asking to take a dish out of the restaurant to eat at home would be considered pretty bad manners. it's all to do with eating out being a social event as much as a 'need to feed myself' thing, whereas in america i think it's more about actually eating food than trying to act posh.Mint Sauce wrote:
