Huh, I can't see it happening any time soon. There are some here with a
good sense of humour but they have stayed out of this. Others take

Ophelia making the claim that we eat them.

Maybe this is a cultural thing. I don't know. But it isn't setting well

Gary to the rescue. See my next post. :-D

OK...enough is enough of this nonsense.
Ophy just posted a simple, interesting thing and
several here go nuts about it. Especially YOU picking on
her, Julie, after she's defended you for years. Really?

I found that page interesting. No, it's not normal Usain desserts.
Those desserts were more like food art...fun to see
but I would never buy one. I certainly didn't get offended
by that or the subject line. Give me a break.

"Only in RFC" is all I can say. This ng is NOT the normal world.

I wrote about my "night in the bathroom" and was called a
liar and/or a dumbass. It was also assumed that I didn't have
an inhaler. I did, it just wasn't fixing my problem anymore.

I wrote about not being able to afford health insurance and was
called a liar and/or a tightwad and a burden to society.

People here want to tax the hell out of the rich but they
don't even realize that *THEY* are also considered
"the rich" by many that make less money. It's a relative
term.

Boycott Walmart because they pay employees low, their sales
drop and they hire less employees that might need ANY job.

Too many times, people here don't think beyond their own world.
I've been guilty of that too.

Anyway, the constant bickering here can be amusing at times
but also quite annoying occasionally.

Ophy meant no harm. Give it a rest. On average, Americans
really are fat overeating pigs. Even me sometimes. LOL!

LOL! You Fool! ;-D
Since you are paying for a full dessert anyway , why not get it
all and take the other half home (doggie bag) for the next day?

PS - I'm the same way with the "clean the plate" mentality.
When trying to cut down, I'll have dinner on a smaller plate.

Thank you, Gary. I doubt if it would have gone the way it did if anyone
else had posted it. The 'I hate O' mob couldn't resist. That it seems to
have made them look juvenile and petty seems not to have occurred.

No matter, there is life outside of that thread)) Oh and just so they
know, it won't stop me posting other stuff that seems funny, so perhaps they
might like to take a look at their 'instant personal offence button' and re
evaluate. There are so many lovely posters here that their childish
responses simply don't matter))

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.

"Be careful what you ask for."
Since you asked, Julie, most times it's YOUR posts that
contain the humor here in RFC.

I imagine that they might be potentially tasty in small doses. It may be
akin to the Laura Secord Easter eggs that are a tradition in our family.
I have only a small piece each day. I have had a couple Mars bars in my
life but not many. They are way too much sweet and rich. The only time I
have them now is when we have the little ones leftover from Halloween,
and never more than one.

Fact is that is it may or may not be fact that the Scots eat a horrible
diet and have a lot of deep fried foods, but that seems to be impression
most people have.

Not every leftover is suitable for use later. I sometimes order
deep-fried food in restaurants but can rarely finish the portion.
I don't take the uneaten food home because deep-fried food
doesn't re-heat well (especially if it's in a sauce like Chinese
food often is), and the less I eat of it the better, anyway.

Likewise, it's rare that I don't finish a salad in a restaurant,
sometimes the portions are just too huge. I don't take that home
because the lettuce would be irretrievably wilted by the dressing.

but sometimes the portions are simply too huge.

Ophelia would have to confirm that - I really don't know. Could it
possibly be worse than the NA diet ? I doubt it! The fried Mars I
bought was in England at the Chish and Fip shop and one between the
three of us was more than adequate!

I kind of thought they were some sort of Easter candy ?

If you want to see really weird and extreme food, watch the
Travel Channel and the show "Man vs Food"

Andrew Zimmern "Bizarre Foods" is a good one for that too.

My wife once took my mother to a restaurant in Fort Erie that has large
portions of mediocre food at good prices. My mother had a hot roast beef
sandwich. She was not a big meat eater so she got a doggie bag. That was
on a Friday. She had left over roast beef that night, Saturday and
Sunday night and on Monday my wife, my brother and I were there for
lunch and had roast beef sandwiches.
