To be shocked at what I saw at a Toby Carvery?

[PipkinsPal]

I went to a Toby Carvery the other day. I had two types of meat, a Yorkshire pudding, veg and gravy. I had a good sized portion, ate it all and didn't feel the need to go up again. I'm quite smug that I know how much to put on my plate without wasting it.

However, I could see the gravy/sauce table from where I was sitting and saw a few very overweight young people, late teens/early 20's with 3 - yes 3 Yorkshire puddings on their plates, a mound of veg and ladling on bucketfuls of gravy.

Surely this is not normal and they were just greedy.

Selks don't call 'em yorkies, I did up thread and was threatened with death

Joke obviously.

ICanSeeTheSun I have TITH with onion gravy and green veg - broccoli or cabbage, or baked beans.

I'm another Yorkies offender and I said roasties as well and disclosed a liking for Toby Carvery.

I will burn in hell, clearly.

K have now read thread

Arf at you lot, you are funny people

Anyhoo, I have had a GENIUS idea

You know croquembouche (sp)? A tower of profiteroles, spun sugar etc.

Pffft to that

Imagine a croquembouche of YPs, stuffed avec cauli cheese and drizzled avec gravy

OH MY GOD

Pedlars, are you DS1?

we invented cheese sauce-filled savoury choux buns and made them - bloody handsome they were too

Nom nom nom Jenny

I am so gonna be making them

Never understood stuffing yourself as 'value fir money'

Why does eating massive amounts off food mean you are getting value fir money? It just gets deposited on your backside as fat!

Well we got very drunk last night in a field and after much huffing and puffing and packing and shifting got home and had a full cooked breakfast (lush)

Then mum phoned and demanded we all go out for a roast, which would be fantastic except I managed to pull my hip muscle whilst doing the twist very drunkley at a vintage 50s disco last night (in the field) so I didn't fancy moving from my sofa and arranged to have a full carvery delivered to our door.

Three types of meat, cauliflower cheese, roasties, loads of veg, bucket fulls of gravy and profiteroles and cream for afters...

All delivered and I don't even have to wash up!

Feel fat as a pig now and still unable to move, LUSH

P.S OP I am very overweight but have lost 2 stone in the last 2 months having removed a major irritating judgemental influence from my life...

Jenny, sounds good.

Bogqueen - It's the same thinking as 'having to eat the leftovers' instead of binning. It's a waste to bin, but not to eat.

Mum does that - would rather anyone ate it than bin it. Even mixed tomato-soup powder into the dogs dinner once, as she didn't like it (unsurprisingly). The dog didn't eat it either, so that also got chucked (2 days later - got to give him 'time' to eat it!) so that was not only the soup powder wasted, but the dogs dinner too!

Jenny, that sounds heavenly.
Why don't M&S make that?!

I'm quite posh but I love a Toby carvery. Partly because my sons can load up their plates kingsize and I can max out on the veg. Never tried to get more than one Yorkshire - they're not as good as a homemade. I think it's a bit like Xmas dinner - and surely quite healthy? Surprised at the snobbery; not at all surprised at the plate-loading. If that's why they've come to the carvery, leave them alone.

:( I really, really despise threads like this.

Look, fat people know they are fat. There are a number of reasons why they could be fat, none of which had anything to do with you.

We wear our fat for everyone to see, we know you find it disgusting and sinful. Yes, being greedy usually does make you fat, I don't see how that surprises you.

Well done for only having one Yorkshire pudding and not liking your plate high like us fat people. And thank you for letting us know that you feel "smug" for doing so :(

Seriously why are people so horrible? Just leave us alone :(

The thread should possibly have been titled "AIBU to think fat people shouldn't be seen in public?", as let's face it - that's what the OP means.

Oh, that was you with the cats bum face looking disapprovingly at us.

Do fuck off dear

I'd rather be fat thanks to food issues than be a bitch!

Make the cheese sauce with a little cheese in, then leave to go cold.

Add equal volume of grated strong cheese before piping into choux, brush with beaten egg, sprinkle with grated parmesan and chilli flakes - bloody lovely and about a millionty calories each at christmas instead of sausage rolls

I can do lots of things.
But I don't do stupid.

Oops, meant to say heat in hot oven, holey side up or the wonderfully gooey cheesey meltiness runs out

May do veg with my TITH, DC are away next week so will instruct DH in how to do it.

When am I coming round, Jen?

Having a bit of a do next weekend, Randall

You're most welcome

And you can have as many as you like as long as I get as many as I like

Thanks usual

This is something I am very sensitive about, it hits a crippling, depressive nerve. Just seems lately there have been a lot of threads about fat people lately on mn.

It saddens me that some people can't see past a person's weight and see that they are a human being with feelings who have done absolutely nothing to the person judging/mocking them :(

I'm still shocked at one Yorkshire pudding per person. My family would riot with just one. We'd have three Yorkshires each and savour every bite.
