Small Portions On Large Plates

[+ Avalon]

I've not eaten out since last century. But watching Gordon Ramsay's show from last night it seems odd to me they would put such small portions on large plates. I'd think small portions would go on small plates so to make people think they had more. Plus the prices are so dear for so little.

Small Portions On Large Plates

 

I always present my meat on a small plate to make it look bigger.

 

Rose: “This is not just a plate, mister. This is a family heirloom. It's Great-Great-Grandma Nylund's ceremonial wedding plate...The bride's family fills the plate with fruit and then at the wedding all the guests eat from it. And when the last piece is gone, that's when the bride and groom leave to start their wedding night, which takes place in a tent or a Best Western. The Vikings have always been a very progressive people. Anyway, that's when it's time for the husband to symbolically 'offer himself' to his new bride… on the plate.”

 

Stan: “Yeck! I ate a tuna sandwich on that plate this afternoon.”

 

Rose: “Stan, I'm never going to forgive you for this. My niece is getting married in the spring. What's her husband gonna do?”

 

Blanche: “I bet a gravy boat would work in a pinch.”
