Is this not a large portion?

[Feministicon]

I got deleted from a Facebook group about stupid things men say for commenting that this was an overly large portion, is it not?

[TheChineseChicken]

How are there 11 pages of comments on this thread?!

Spag Bog is an English dish, bearing little resemblance to anything seen in Italy.

Seconded. And that does not look nice at all. What is the white stuff???

@PigletJohn

Thank you. It's been a big effort but the results are worth it.

[Kakiweewee]

@Nunoftheother

No. It's still spaghetti Bolognese. Just healthier options.

[PigletJohn]

oops.

"71lbs so far"

Well done!

Is that spaghetti like a half carbonara and half bolognese

[Fedupalways]

The only crime they committed here is the use of plain bread. Where the fuck is the garlic bread? What sort of psychopath is this?!

[Nunoftheother]

@Kakiweewee

Minus the bread, make it wholemeal spaghetti, make the bolognese with a load of veggies (I do onions, celery, carrot, peppers, mushrooms, courgette and tomatoes) and a low-fat minced beef and that's about the portion size I eat with steamed vegetables on the side.

I eat meals that size twice a day, no snacking other than fruit, and I lose weight doing it. (71lbs so far)

So basically a completely different meal, then.

Needs cheese

[Nottherealslimshady]

Far too much pasta and not enough sauce.

[kowari]

so how long do you think that fork is?
My fork is 21cm, my dinner plate a standard 27cm. I'd say the plate in the picture would be at least 25cm, so a dinner plate, not a lunch or side plate.

[HoppingPavlova]

Looks fucking delicious but yes, that’s a mountain to overcome! I’d give it a solid go though.

Which picture are you looking at?

@Elfieishere

[Elfieishere]

Looks like a normal size dinner plate and that portion is massive!

But my partner moans that I don’t always dish enough up for him and he’s still hungry after although I think it’s a normal size portion and I just tell him to stop being bloody greedy

I think my dad could polish that size meal though.

[Alternista]

Is it too big? Yeah
Could I eat it? Yeah

[IHeartHounds]

It's about the size of portion we eat.

This is an odd thread.

Yes that’s been said too, a few times.

[Oysterbabe]

I'd probably serve about that much bolognaise but that's at least twice the amount of spaghetti.

@OwlinaTree

This being Mumsnet I opened the thread expecting to see something like this

[Feministicon]

@borntohula

I must say though, I always enjoyed 'leftbook' groups on Facebook. I think some people have got the wrong idea about them, some of the content is not dissimilar to that of Mumsnet's feminism board.

I agree, I think people should definitely check them out before thinking I’m a man basher 😊
