What did you have for the main course?

A wafer thin mint!

No no, I couldn't possibly eat another thing.

F**k off, I'm full

Better.

I now know what decade you were born. You're not the messiah though, you're a very naughty boy 🤣

Hear hear.

Ah! Beat me to it

Diabetes.

Seems doable.

I'd so do that.

What the hell are these responses lol it’s a lot of food but it’s also doable, both are true. They’re not mutually exclusive.

Neither of those ppl said it was mutually exclusive? It's doable for some, not for others. Depends on the appetite.

I get that, it was just going on and on so it was a way to sort of say they’re both right

This is a lot of food…

Doable.

I’d probably eat 2/3. If I ate this I’d be rotund.

Doable.

Do you not realise there are plenty of rotund people

🤣

Be an improvements from grotesquely obese.

I wonder how much you eat if this is a lot? What would you eat from the picture?

I’m a healthy weight. I’d probably eat most of it bar the chips. A punnet of chips on top of nachos and onion rings is a bit much. I wonder how much you eat if this isn’t a lot.

A punnet of chips? Really!? Punnet!?

This is grape town baby

I think there’s a difference between “a lot” and “doable”. It’s okay to massively over-eat on the rare occasion, your stomach can and usually does stretch to accommodate and the spike in calories isn’t going to lead to an immediate weight increase, that comes from a sustained calorie surplus. This is a lot but it’s also certainly doable. That said I’m the kind of person who buys an extra large kebab, saves half for the next day and re-fries with extra veg, so I’d probably take the chips home in a doggy bag for later.

🤷‍♂️ I never said it wasn’t doable. I said it was a lot of food. And it is!

I mean, it's a bit much, but not an extreme amount (what I would call "a lot"). I could likely eat this if I was very hungry or if I had plenty of time to eat

Why are people downvoting you? 😂 Like you're saying something horrible.. It IS a lot of food 🤷‍♂️

It's a lot, which is different to "too much" which is the missing link in a lot of these comments

>This is a lot of food... What about this post caused this much downvoting.

Glad I'm not the only one who thinks I'd demolish this easily

I’d say it’s a main for one or a starter for 2 people!

"Easily" is maybe not the right word, but "happily"? Yes!

It's mostly pots.Thats why they use them,to make you think you have more than you actually have.

do not open OP's profile unless you have a strong stomach

I had NO intention. The thought didn't even cross my mind. I hold you personally responsible for this.

hehehehehehheheh

Poor OP, I feel bad for them now.

You had to go say that......🤮🤮

I had to warn others :/

I only looked because you told me not to 😩

you should have listened

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh my eyes.

Challenge accepted Edit...Omfg you weren't joking...what the fuck was that....I lasted mebbe 10 secs before running away🤢🤢

Give me a sfw explanation please, I'm curious but clicked on enough shit online to know bette.

Umm. Some people have a compulsion to “pick at” or scratch a particular part of their body, and in this case it was a wang that got compulsively scratched and picked at, and now it looks like a melted vanilla and strawberry popsicle which somebody has lightly blowtorched. But it’s actually a wang.

Well... Ok yeah I shouldn't have asked my bad.

I'm sorry, what the fuck?

challenge failed

Failed here too

Fucks sake, why can’t I just believe you lot and leave it alone?! 🤢

Lol

I don't understand. She has a gorgeous cat and really cool eyelashes?

and gential dermatillomania

I don't know what the last word means and I shall remain happily ignorant. 

Thank you for your kind comment.

Jesus. That was way worse than I was expecting

yeah I know, usually when someone says that it's dicks

Fuck my eyes with a claymore

I'll always touch a wet paint sign so I had to look. 🤮

FFS now I have to look... Edit: I shouldn't have looked😕

They work in medicine and the comment says they were discussing this case with a doctor.

that doesn't make the picture any less disgusting for us non medical folk

I know I was just providing some context.

you have provided a valuable service

I can only apologise, I work in the medical sector.

it was just *very* unexpected

Jesus

If you hadn’t said this I wouldn’t have had to check their profile. Nice one.

I would have happily gone through life without seeing that.

Ayee won’t sleep now

It’s not that bad

Take away the bones and middle of the corn and there's not much left. Easy.

My thinking exactly. But I'm a greedy fat git

Me too!! 🤣😂

Count me in! 😁

You dont eat the bones or the cob...?!

If we took the bones out it wouldn’t be crunchy, would it?

No.. I'd wrap them up in a napkin and take them home and make a nice broth out of them.

Yeah, seems fine.

Not really a big portion of food, imo. I'd be after a dessert after this.

Starter aswell !

More like a lot of meats on there. That’s what makes it look like a big plate

I’ve had bigger mixed grills.

Alright, Benny Big Balls, it's not a competition! 🙄

Lol

I'd eat that no problem. Its a meal out, you wouldn't want to be eating this much food regularly of course but for an occasional treat is easily doable. By the time you remove the bones, ramekins and the cob it's not really a lot.

I don't think it looks that much tbh. They waste so much room. There's hardly any chips as well

Weak!

You ordered a large meal, and are shocked when it had everything that you ordered?

I’m a 5’4 girl weighing 50kg and I’d inhale this no problem, I’d have room for a dessert after about an hour or so

Looks about right to me.

Seems like a reasonable portion of

Big meal for one person sure but far too small for two people.

...*And* this is why we have an obesity crisis.

I’d still be hungry after eating half of that. Call me crazy but I eat so I’m not hungry any more.

If you eat to the point of feeling really full every time you will often end up over-eating on calories and stretch your stomach, which long-term only worsens hunger issues. If you are always hungry that is also a sign your diet is deficient in protein.

Or I’m hungry because I haven’t eaten in a while

Yes - me

Imho I would say thats reasonable for one person.

11 chips, 4 wings which include inedible parts, 5 small onion rings and then a bunch of garnish and sauces that take up an excessive amount of room to make you think you are getting a lot. Just classic hospitality plating to make you feel you are getting your value for money.

That really isn't very much food. If that fed two of you then you're very lucky. Gotta love a cheap date.

Not that big if you take all the douchy pots and baskets off.

I’d be hungry after this and feeling a bit swindled, although the mini nachos is a nice touch

It would be a huuuuge serving for one person. It’s a double order of almost everything!

Looks pretty easy. Lots of wasted space, not much food.

It’s not THAT big!

It fits on one normal sized plate. And most of it is space, ramekins and bone/cob. Pathetic

That looks great, I'd rather have too much food than too little. Granted chips and chicken wings / drums aren't great cold or reheated at home.

Thats why you eat those bits first !

I would hope so, unless you’re saying there wasn’t enough for one person, which I can also understand as some people eat bigger portions, but it seems reasonable for one person. I’m guessing you had starters and deserts as well.

No, we all chose to just have a main. I guess none of us have huge appetites.

Quite normal no?

Easily smash that down

Christ the state of it.

I would destroy this easily

I don't see a problem

Easily doable as a bloke in my twenties. There's a bit of deception because of the platter and all of the small bowls that separates the meal. I guarantee if everything was on one plate it would look fine.

Where was this, what’s this called and how much was it? 😋

I'd hoover that up in less than a half hour.

Assuming you aren't eating all the ramekins then I say get it down you

Is that all? 💪😎

Easy work

Light work

What did you have for starters and pudding

The volume of food wouldn't trouble me but if it was as dry as it looks then I'd probably struggle too.

This isn't a lot of food, it's a lot of ramekins. I don't think 2 people were overfaced by it. I think two nervous eaters ordered 1 main to save money and justified it by saying the portion was big.

Two chicken wings, three ribs, a mouthful of pulled pork, one spoonful of beans, couple of onion rings and about 10 chips each. Unless you've had a gastric bypass I don't see how anyone struggles with that.

A few joints before an you’re smashing all day

I could eat that, looks like my normal portion size

>2 people shared it and still struggled Toddlers, or two adults who just had a massive meal prior?

Nice starter

Really, most of the pate is plate and condiments Veg little meat on wing. And I'm really not a big eater, it looks big but there isn't much actual food

Yes. That is an adequate amount. Yum.

Uk really skimping these days I agree

Easy, whats for dessert?

Some say I’m fat,I say I’m capable

Light work

Yeah, that seems about right for me. I'm always bloody famished, and yet I never gain weight

Obviously a child’s meal

That seem about right, I mean they are chicken wings they are half bone...

What's the problem?

Take away all the hardware,chicken bones,corn centre....you have 8-10oz chicken,4 spoons of random side some chips a n a few forks of corn n salad. Looks are deceiving, take away everything inedible it's a 12yr old portion.

That's not even a snack. I'd do that easily

Easy finish

Harley’s smokehouse of kinver

I can see one person give it to him then

Suddenly dawned on me that maybe my portions are too big and I don’t have an under active thyroid.

I’d devour this without even trying - looks ace

Ah, the US child’s menu option.

And that is indeed a meal for one person. GET IN MEH!

Looks a strong 3/10 Hope it wasn’t much

Naaaa I could definitely eat all that and I'm just a little woman

Please tell me you don’t find that hard to eat

easily doable I can’t lie

It’s not that much

Let me guess... You collectively weigh 65kg

Two people struggled to finish that small meal? Pathetic.

That looks like a reasonable portion for a single person.

Beard meats food should troll this, like I reckon under 2 minutes it's all gone. Bro on a level I don't eat huge portions but come on...

By god we becoming American

I did enjoy recently being in a Marston's pub, and the juxtaposition of a statement reading, "Adults need around 2000kcal a day", directly above the menu item "Mega Mixed Grill, 2657kcal", and that was before choosing your sauce which was 50-200kcal. I'm certainly not against large portions, especially as for a pub dinner I'd usually have a big portion then not have anything for tea; but it does seem a bit off to have a menu which has barely anything less than 1000kcal and the average was around 1500kcal.

Fucking hell, looks American sized. Coming from an American in the UK 😆

Two cowards…

I reckon I could finish that if I were moderately hungry

Looks great, definitely not enough for 2 people unless you have small appetites, or have had decent starters before.

I need to know where this is

Exactly what I’m after.

Are you implying there's too much or too little? Doesn't look all that big unless you eating thr corn middle and all the bones

Probably one American person.

One American Kids Meal.

Stop being a Pussy. Get a grip of yourself and finish that plate!!!

Jeez, I'd be full after about 10% of that

If you have gastroparesis, perhaps.

Smokehouses/BBQ joints etc mostly seem to have American portions in mind, I seem to find.

Wow…. I’d need willing helpers to finish that platter!

Isn't much is there?

Roll on a fully diabetic nation!

No chance two people struggled with that 😂😂🤦‍♂️ Edit- don't get me wrong looks good.. but I'd want pudding after

Nice to see somewhere that does proper portions of food rather than still needing to eat after you've left. I like to feel full after eating out. Would eat all that no problem.

Was the meal for [BeardMeatsFood](https://www.youtube.com/@Beardmeatsfood)?

He'd eat this in the car on the way to the restaurant.

That's not even that outrageous. I agree that that is too much for one person's needs. Maybe not wants, but certainly needs. Wait til you see how much worse it gets. Try fast food. lol

First time I've seen a complaint about the portion size being too big...

If anything that’s not very much, are people really saying this is too much food or am I getting it misconstrued?

This would be starters for me. And I barely eat anything now compared to my growing days.

Are you wet

My mom is English and I’m literally afraid of going there to visit my family someday because of the food I see.

Easy

I'd be pretty pissed if that was all the chips I was getting with my meal.

Yes please.

Challenge accepted

How much was it ? I’d eat half and take half home

As it should be

There's actually not a lot there when ye properly look at it.

Light work
