2, maybe 3 if they're small. Any more would be too sickly.

Megan2018 · 18/01/2020 17:44

At least 5

Although I ate an entire M&S stack of them on Boxing Day which was meant to serve 8.....

DrMadelineMaxwell · 18/01/2020 17:44

3?

Blimey, you can come and share a pack with me. You have your 3 and I'll have the rest!

Bunnyfuller · 18/01/2020 17:45

At least 30. The act of eating them for that long actually activates your metabolism and your body burns fat as you sit there.

True dat.

Also wine.

58 with a light lunch.

82 if it's dinner.

SexlessBoulderBelly · 18/01/2020 17:47

Well the ‘one serving me quick pudding things you get in shops is never enough so more than that.

DowntonCrabby · 18/01/2020 17:48

Surely this is a portion both aesthetically and gastronomically.

How many profiteroles make a portion ?

PMT = 12 or so
Breakup when you didn't chose it = 25 and a bucket of ice cream
Other days = 5

NomDeQwerty · 18/01/2020 17:51

Choose it Blush

Minimum four, I'd probably manage six. Three is just weird - if that's your attitude to profiteroles, leave them for those who appreciate!

PlumsGalore · 18/01/2020 17:55

4-5 depending on size. Typical Tesco or M&S four, cheap frozen ones about half a dozen, with extra cream Smile

0.4521 precisely if you're sticking to WW. Luckily they sell their own specialist profiterole divider at £49.99 each.

Not allowed on SW but they have their own special SW profiterole made of fat-free rice pastry and filled with zero fat yogurt sweetened with sucralose and non-specified 'flavourings.' You can't believe it's not profiteroles!

Does size really not matter?

thrre · 18/01/2020 18:27

3 or 5 if in company or restaurant. On my own all of them!

Mammajay · 18/01/2020 18:28

6

Letthemysterybe · 18/01/2020 18:31

3 is sensible and probably enough.
Half the pack is the reality ( not the whole pack because my other half will want the other half)

draughtycatflap · 18/01/2020 18:35

If you have to scale it with ropes and spiked boots to pour the chocolate sauce you know you’ve gone too far.

BodenGate · 18/01/2020 18:35

All of them

MargotsBumpyNight · 18/01/2020 18:37

My portion is 0 (not my favourite food)

DH's is all of them. Immediately.

randominternetperson · 18/01/2020 18:43

All of them makes one portion.

cheapskatemum · 18/01/2020 18:47

I just came on to say that DS2, who has ASD, snuck downstairs on Christmas Eve & ate the whole M&S profiterole stack that we'd bought for Boxing Day desert for our whole family of 6. Not sure how many were in there though, didn't get a chance to count! I'd ask him, but he's non-verbal & I don't think he can count to higher than 5.

AuntieMarys · 18/01/2020 18:51

Just realised I have a box of M and S ones in the freezer....

Comefromaway · 18/01/2020 18:52
  1. Has to be an odd number. 3 for a child’s/dieters portion.
Parsley65 · 18/01/2020 18:55

We have the M & S ones regularly.

I've never read the portion size Blush but we share it between two and have seven each.
That might just be me being greedy though...

willothewispa · 18/01/2020 18:55

Six.
