US is big. Everything is big here. Big roads, big houses, big cars, big people, and big portions in restaurants. What is it with the big portions here? I understand that most of the population here is obese and I am sure they have gigantic appetites, but they tend to forget that this is also a land of immigrants, most of which are of petite frame. The entire chinese category (by which i mean chinkus, japus, koreans, etc coz they all are the same to me) and we poor desis. How is it humanely possible for us to finish our meals in their restaurants, which also in turn, leaves a big hole in our pockets. Fine, cater to the majority, which is the bigger people, but is it so difficult to just have two size portions, a half and a full. A half portion would mean a smaller plate, perfect for our appetite, good on our pockets, no TOGOs, and room for dessert. I hate taking TOGOs. I never do that, especially after one really bad bout of food poisoning that I had a year back.
I love Olive Garden. I loveeeeeeee the salad there. But after eating the bread and salad, I barely can finish the main course - Portobello de Ravioli (ooooh, is that yummy or wat?), let alone my poor soul craving for the Tiramisu. I never get to eat that.
I think we need to fight for half portions. WE WANT HALF PORTIONS....WE WANT HALF PORTIONS. So much for being a rebel, not to forget, embarassing.
