How many courses?

[NoMercy]

Can someone please tell me how people manage 3 courses at a dinner?

I cannot even manage 2. I have barely eaten today (perhaps a cracker) and yet, when U ate a plate of roast lamb, veg and gravy, I felt like I was going to explode?

I cannot fathom how the bejesus people eat puddings etc after their dinner.

Having just come off 4 for dinner, I am feeling full!

Standard lunchtime winter fare at local restaurant.
1st course...vegetable soup (as much as you like)
2nd course . charcuterie with some salad
3rd course...Veal casserole with macaroni
4th course... cheeseboard ( cheeses)
5th course....dessert..creme brule or floating islsnds
6th course coffee with a choccy
As much bread as you can eat and more wine if the first bottle wasn't enough.
12.5 Euros per head
Starting the day with a light breakfast and eating slowly works for me.

I dont know how people manage more than 2 courses either. I suppose it depends on your appetite and what your main course is. Im a veggie and meat is more filling than a veggi meal. I dont know how people can take a doggy bag home with them. The sight of leftover cold food taken home like that to be re heated would turn my stomach over !!

I normally can't do two, although I always make a sweet for the OH.

On NYE, I did 6 courses, but each course was relatively small so we didn't feel stuffed we felt satisfied afterwards!

I can usually manage all 3 and I need something sweet at the end even if I'm full.

i agree with boxy, when we have large family meals. we take our time, couldnt scoff 3-5 courses without a break.
