Ideas to get 16m old to eat slower?

My 16m old is a fantastic eater - and I realise how lucky I am to be saying that 😬 I’ve yet to serve him anything that he turns his nose up at.

He eats SO quickly though! We all sit down together at the table and within a few minutes his meal is gone and he’s fussing for more because we’ve barely started ours. Any ideas on how to slow him down? 😬

He can use a fork and a spoon well so that doesn’t slow him at all. I’ve tried holding some of his meal back and serving it once he’s finished the first lot but I don’t really like the idea of him thinking he gets more everytime he means for it!
