The only type of restaurant offering it was a carvery - but you only got to go up once.

My Dad and I would compete to see who could get the most on the miniature dinner plates they gave you. I learned more about space and volume in those days than I ever did in science. I put it to great use over the years that I was poor (ie all of my 30s) when packing containers from the salad bar in supermarkets. I could get enough to eat for three days in one small container. You pay by container, not by weight - haha!

Back to original thread - I like these.
But that's about encouraging picky eaters, not about health.
The top picture cracks me up. Cheese and Peas. Very Fast Show.

Dale's (Smorgasbord) Golden Rule: Take all you want, but eat all you take.

Also, the top plate reminds me of my mom telling us to "eat every bean and pea on your plate." (Sounds different out loud.)
