… to think this is ridiculous. (portion size)

[Elphame]

I fancied a Chelsea bun from the bakery this morning so asked for one to be added to my bread order. Didn’t really think much about it.

When I got it home I was staggered by the size of it.

Is this really what passes for the one serving of cake for one person? I’ll eat about a quarter. It will be stale tomorrow so the birds will get the rest.

Teaspoon for scale

Bargain

A fortnight. What greedy gobblers you are.

It'd last us at least a month

Scoffs in teeny tiny superiority

Looks amazing

Look at the size of that bun
For me it is no fun
I say I have to pass
Else it'll go straight to my ass

Only on MN would someone moan about getting too much for their money.

@usernamealreadytaken "Blimey, you have big teaspoons if that bun is six inches!"

As the actress said to the bishop....

You could eke it out with some gruel, make it last five weeks.

Can you not freeze the rest? Why throw away!

No wonder kids are obese these days

I always slice and butter large muffins and put out to share.

First thought!

Gruel? Don't be so greedy.

Les French buns are incredibly small and incredibly chic and sophistiquee, as they are only eating by effortlessly thin women who wear crisp white shirts and dull tasteful beige clothes. Their equally slim only eat home cooked cuisine and are always impeccably well behaved in public. Because they are French.

Many baked goods (including things like bread rolls and doughnuts) can be made as good as new a day or two later by popping them in the microwave for 30-40 seconds.

We've lost sight of what a healthy sized bun is.

When dieting, I will cut it into tiny pieces (and then inhale them with a cup of tea).

When dieting, I will cut off a small piece and then eat all the rest.

Buns in bakeries are massive. But I don't necessary think there is an expectation that one person eats the whole thing. I mean different people have different appetites. I would probably share that with someone.

Try harder! 😂🤣I could easily eat that. Surely you saw the bun which is why you fancied one in the first place? Tbh the price a lot of bakery’s charge for a cake I would want it to be a decent size.

Through a diet straw which destroys all fats and sugars! 😆

Pure gluttony. It would last me, my husband and our seven hollow-legged children a short year and we’d still have enough leftovers to make twelve bread and butter puddings.

When dieting I will remove every single raisin and eat one a day for a treat.

I once went on a weight loss retreat where they gave you an horrendous starvation diet and if you got dizzy they gave you two raisins. And we were all so deluded that we said they were delicious and filling (I wish I was joking).

I am now losing weight more sensibly.

You glutton! I quarter each and every raisin.

A WHOLE quarter? No wonder this country has an obesity problem if people go around stuffing themselves like this.

Disgraceful, I tell you. DISGRACEFUL.

That is massive!
