To think that at a buffet you can take as much as you want

[Edenviolet]

Went out today with dsis. We were starving by lunchtime and there was a huge buffet where we went (hotel), it was included in the price so we took loads as were hungry.
Noticed a couple of women really staring as we loaded our plates up and also when we took lots of the mini desserts and as we walked past one loudly said " I can't believe they are actually going to eat all that"
They kept staring at us and giving us funny looks.

Made me wonder if we really did take too much, surely as we had paid and were hungry it was ok ? I felt a bit judged as they clearly thought we were greedy

Nine desserts on your own is a lot!

Four creme brûlées

weren't you sick?!!

My goodness that's a huge amount of food!

So... what was your main course?

unless you're a 6 foot athelete or a shot putter yes , my friend, I'm afraid you are being unreasonable!

All that was for one person?

Even with several plates piled high, how in the world did you carry that much?

Is that what the whole family (I'm guessing at least 6 of you) ate?

Seems a fuck of a lot of food to me.
How many desserts???

All that just for you?! Blimey.

That's a lot of food. Six - six??? - pieces of bread?

Fuck me!

I'm sorry but even I would have found it hard not to be shocked at that list. I certainly wouldn't comment though, that was very rude of them.

However, just the fact you've started this thread makes me wonder if you secretly agree with them, but are simply hurt that they mentioned it out loud?

Apologies if that's not the case and you both eat like that in your own homes.

If you took that amount each in one go I'm not surprised you had looks! But as long as you didn't leave any to waste then fair enough. I couldn't have eaten even half of that.

You were unreasonable for not telling them to fuck off and mind their own business .

'It's not exactly elegant to wander around with 3 plates of food'
Wot? Are we in an Oscar Wilde play?

They need to get lives or, at the very least, something better to talk about. Who the fuck notices or cares what other people are eating?

Oh my god, I was coming on to say eat away. Thinking you had a few slices of H&m more than you should. Six desserts, six slices of bread.

Ha ha you are messing !!!!

Ham not h&m

Depends on the size of the portion. There's an all you can eat restaurant that I've been to in the past. The sweets there are all tiny so you could have 4/5 different ones and it would be the equivalent of one slice of say carrot cake in M&S.

Ignore them and don't think any more about them. You didn't waste it and taking less originally and then going back for more would only mean you ate approximately the same amount.

It could have been a small amount of each though. I often sample many dishes at a buffet,but have a small spoonful of each,or sometimes just one piece.

And if she did eat a large amount of each,so what? She was hungry.

I am seriously impressed by your plate balancing skills though,OP.

I would have asked could I help them as they obviously wanted to ask me something!

Yes just for me. I have a huge appetite and usually snack a lot but today had breakfast at 7am, went out and had nothing till 1230pm so I was starving and ate lots.
Dsis had nearly as much. I think we obviously just looked greedy !
I've always eaten lots but today was particularly hungry

I just take one of everything savoury I fancy, do a return trip if I want another of anything. Then do the same with sweet stuff.

Four creme brulees.......what if they werent that nice? theyd have just sat on your plate wasted.

OP were they those mini desserts you get in buffets? We aren't talking 4 huge wedges of cake here are we, you mean those shot glass sized mini puds?

Yeah, I think this is a joke thread. Nobody would think that list doesn't look too bad written down.....

6 slices of bread and 4 creme brulee??? Seriously? Sorry OP not judging but that is a lot of food.
