Fish fingers? - 4 Sausages? - 3 in a sandwich, 4 as a meal Pasta? - One of those universal mysteries, never get the right amount Grapes? Don't eat 'em Toast? 2 slices with marmite, 3 with peanut butter Bacon? 3 or 4 depending on hunger Roast Potatoes? 6-8 Custard Creams? Don't really eat biscuits Lemon Squash? Enough to stop the watery taste? Rice? One pack of Uncle Bens or one boiling bag Baked beans? Nope Title: Re: Whats a portion?

Title: Re: Whats a portion? Post by: arbboy on March 31, 2015, 05:27:07 PM Adults eating fish fingers. Weird. Weirder than adults eating deep fried mars bars? ;D Title: Re: Whats a portion? Post by: tikay on March 31, 2015, 05:30:24 PM Adults eating fish fingers. Weird. Adults do the weirdest things. (http://blogs.reuters.com/files/2010/01/ces-3d-tv.jpg) Title: Re: Whats a portion? Post by: Honeybadger on March 31, 2015, 05:31:29 PM Fish fingers? Only eat these in fish finger sandwiches. 3 per sandwich. With ketchup, vinegar and a pinch of salt. Fish fingers slightly mashed up inside sandwich with a fork. I might have more than one sandwich.
Sausages? 2 in a sandwich, each cut in half lengthways, with ketchup. 4 if as part of a meal such a bangers and mash. Pasta? Enough so that I can only see the very edge of my plate. Grapes? None if they have seeds. If seedless, just keep eating until they are all gone. Toast? Two slices with most things. Three or four slices if using to dip in soup. Bacon? 3 rashers in a bacon butty. Gotta be cooked long enough so the fat renders/goes crispy. Roast Potatoes? At least 10, usually more. Best part of a roast dinner. Custard Creams? Anything from one biscuit to one entire packet, depending on the level of munchiness I am suffering from. Lemon Squash? Full pint, but quite weak. Lemon squash is not great tbh. Rice? As with pasta, I just want to see the very edge of my plate. Baked beans? Couple of big spoons full. Baked beans are massively over-rated IMO, but quite nice as comfort type food. Title: Re: Whats a portion? Post by: Kmac84 on March 31, 2015, 05:47:07 PM Adults eating fish fingers. Weird. Weirder than adults eating deep fried mars bars? ;D Yet to try one. I did see a poster in the local chippy first ever, but then they closed down. Funny that. Title: Re: Whats a portion? Post by: KarmaDope on March 31, 2015, 06:16:13 PM Fish fingers? I haven't had fish fingers for years! Got to be at least 3.
Sausages? Two if part of a good fry up, 4 if bangers & mash. Pasta? Enough to cover the plate. Grapes? Handful. Toast? 4 slices. Could go more with buttered toast but I only ever have jam or Nutella on it. Bacon? Two if part of a good fry up, 4 in a bacon butty. Roast Potatoes? 5 Custard Creams? Hate the feckers. Lemon Squash? Hate it, fecking disgusting. Rice? Whatever size the portion is from the Chinese takeaway or just a panful. Baked beans? Only eat with a fry up so a couple of spoonfuls. Title: Re: Whats a portion?

Post by: Kmac84 on March 31, 2015, 06:35:28 PM Not suggested, what do you have as a typical portion? Fish fingers? - I'm an adult and don't eat these. I'd much prefer some lemon sole in bread crumbs, 2 slice with chips and mushy peas. Sausages? - 2 links on a roll or one square. Normally have 2 rolls. If with a Fry up then probably 2 square, 3 links. Pasta? - As much as I can get on the plate/in the bowl. Grapes? - Punnet. Toast? - 2 slice. Bacon? - 3 per slice of toast so 6 in total. Roast Potatoes? - I like mine fairly smally so about 3 potatoes quartered. Custard Creams? - At least 4 more likely 5 but have had upto 8. Must be served with a cup of cold milk. Lemon Squash? - N/A Rice? Normally - half a tray from the take away. If making it in the house probably a bag of boil in the bag rice. Baked beans? - On toast a tin, with a breakfast 3 spoonfulls. Anything. What goes as a portion in your house? Title: Re: Whats a portion?
