I never have a dessert, I'm talking about a main, for instance they do
very nice chicken wings, I only want 4/5 not 9/10 - if I choose
chowder then I have the regular serving but with one biscuit not two.

Years ago when I chose the china I have now, I deliberately chose a
smaller plate. I always cook more than enough so my sons-in-law can
have seconds or thirds and then I give them doggy bags as well so I
don't have to eat it for days
They appreciate it, take it for
lunch the next day. I keep those plastic containers they put things
in at the supermarket, they make excellent doggy bags.
