Don't get me wrong, that's not how I eat. But I have to consciously control my portion sizes all the time to avoid that. My nature is just to eat as much as possible. When I was younger I used to order stuff in a restaurant based on portion size almost exclusively. I wouldn't order anything I didn't like, but if my favourite dish on the menu was half the size of my 10th favourite dish, I'd order my 10th favourite dish. I read about a condition once that meant you were always hungry and wondered if I had something like that. I'm almost never full. If I eat a particularly large meal I reckon I'm full for about half an hour and then I can eat again. If ate what I wanted when I was hungry I'd be morbidly obese Back in my fatty bum bum days I could eat a shit load. Sophie's choice in Cotteridge used to do 2 large pizzas and chicken wings, with 2 cans of Dr Pepper. Every Friday night I'd order it just in time for German football on Setanta, and I'd finish everything before the first half ended. 'kin state of me, looking back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If ate what I wanted when I was hungry I'd be morbidly obese I’m similar, I’ve never been skinny, but also not huge. I’m probably a bit overweight at the moment. But I always feel hungry, I’ve seen mates who are a lot bigger than me struggle to complete all their food when I’ve eaten loads more than them. Worst is if I go to an all you can eat Buffett. I will eventually be full, but get home and within half an hr I’ll be wanting something sweet to eat. During lockdown, I’ve been eating so much more biscuits and chocolate bars than normal. Weight is starting to pile back on despite me exercising more than normal, so I’ve got to start cutting back again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eat until it hurts and then get home and have an ice cream Uni was the turning point for me. Stopped playing sport and piled a shit load of weight on. Then lost it again in my mid 20's and so far have managed to keep most of it off. This past year is probably the biggest I've been since uni so I'm fixing it now 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's my experience, anyway. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was in a good restaurant in St Petersburg so hard to imagine they were bullshitting me, it was a bear burger, was OK, nothing that special I've tried a bear burger too but found them a bit gummy. Had to wash it down with a Coca Koala. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hogso Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 I accept this is probably an absurd admission, but I've only recently 'discovered' mustard. Wholegrain is just fantastic (mash, sandwiches, just eating in general), English is good but not my preference (roast beef), there's definitely a place for Dijon and American too. American mustard on burgers is fantastic. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its OK, something of nothing sat in between English and dijon not really strong enough or interesting enough However handlmaiers bavarian mustard which is a bit like honey mustard is awesome stuff - that's sweeter house maker (house wifes) mustard Edited May 27, 2020 by villa4europe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seat68 Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Apparently there are rules that mean I am not supposed to mix chicken and egg. I like Chicken kiev and a fried egg. This makes me, apparently, a **** Alf Garnett word. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sophie’s was just up the road from my parents and we used to frequent there regularly during my teens. That and a kebab shop on vicarage road. I’m sure Sophie herself is long gone now as she was no spring chicken back then but she ruled that place with a rod of iron.
