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.

Threads like this make me really uncomfortable. I can't believe people who judge such small and bizarre things. Makes me frightened to go outside.

Surely either the restaurant staff or your dining companions can help you Sun?

mini hijack for a YP story - I remember a visiting choir coming to our church in the NE of england in the 80s, and being served giant Yorkshires and gravy (as a starter) for sunday lunch. And several of the big lads having seconds and thirds - and not realising there was a huge plate of meat and veg and spuds on its way too! and then pudding (which they hardly had room for)

I do love an 'eat all you can' buffet. They are fucking ace! I always really enjoy myself and eat far too much

I haven't read beyond page 1 of this thread but for once I can't imagine it matters in the slightest.

I had 5 home made Yorkshires with lunch today. They were fab. I am v skilled at YP making

I really fancied one earlier but don't feel up to going out, over did things yesterday and am knackered now.
Am digging a pizza out of the freezer.

So it's Jenny's on Saturday and yours on Sunday then, MrsM.
I'll be sure to wear accommodating attire

Shocked?

Shocked is finding a bolt of lightning bouncing up your arse, not looking at some kid's fucking gravy ladling.

DH would, but he does it all wrong.

I had such a shit pub roast today that the thought of a Toby Carvery seems quite appealing. I bet they don't water down the Bisto at a Toby Carvery.

Same here in Tunisia at AI buffet, all the overweight people are piling their plates, then they wonder why the y are fat......

Of course none of the thin people ever pile their plates up at a buffet...it's always just the overweight people.

My sister is one of those freaky people who can eat what she wants but still stays size 6, but she has the most unhealthiest diet I know.

Skinny people can have bad diets as well.

Ffs. Let me say this again. Fat people know they are fat! They don't wonder why and they don't need other people to remind and judge them

Now shut up about it

Don't care if this gets me deleted or whatever, some people are so fucking nasty and have their heads so far up their own asses.

Just observing a fact. Don't get your knickers in a twist now you might hurt yourselves.

A good gawp, and a shake of the head, while picking delicately at his salad and regarding his perfect six pack no doubt.

No you're not 'observing a fact'...you're seeing what you choose to.

I've never met a fat person who doesn't know why they're fat. Ever.

Ugh, that expression is so patronising and condescending!

Which one thorn? Wasn't mine, was it?

Neither me. I don't think there's a single overweight person out there who wonders why...unlike ignorant people, who haven't got a clue.

God no OhFFS not you, I meant the knickers in a twist one, especially if it is a man!

Golferman I bet you can't wait to get back to school my dear.

Made my caulifuckingflower fucking cheese and fucking lovely it was too.

I think possibly as a society we should all turn on the smug quite slim people. You can get more of them on your pitchfork.

Although I can be smug and slim, but only when SiL is monitoring my food intake. When that happens I slip into the wc, loosen my top button and return with intent.

But seeing the vein twitch on her forehead when I eat a pudding for two is worth being pitchforked.
