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?

rewind for tired brain....A man posts a portion of spag bol on a site for other people of all or no sex and asks for validation. Wishes to know if this would impress a person ( female?) and said impressed person would therefore be inclined to have sex.

OP says something along the lines of 'its too big" ( the food) and is booted off the fb page.
OP then garners opinion from Mumsnet and enters a parallel universe where people either eat their own body weight X 2 in pasta or half a radish.

@NeonIcedcoffee

Ooh it's been a few days since I've seen a competitive under eating thread on here...

Lol, if you don’t want to eat a plate of pasta the size of your head you’re a competitive under eater😂

You missed the part where I’m simultaneously a man hating sexist and a men’s rights activist.

Thats standard portion size in my house.

Omg... I'd smash that.
And have seconds.
I'm not overweight.
Enjoy

Wow@Feministicon,you are busy.

Love the exaggeration of the under eaters. It's always the way. Using words like glutton and troughing etc to get across their disgust and sound more believable. Now it's pasta the size of your head for a perfectly acceptable portion on a clearly smaller than normal plate and twice your body weight or a whole pack. No it's just a plate of pasta - if it fits on one plate it's fine, a whole pack would cover much more than one small plate.

So it would seem

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 😊

@OwlinaTree

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

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

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)

This is an odd thread.

@Hystericaluterus

This is an odd thread.

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

It's about the size of portion we eat.

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

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

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.

@Elfieishere

so how long do you think that fork is?

Which picture are you looking at?

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.

Far too much pasta and not enough sauce.

Needs cheese

So basically a completely different meal, then.
