I live in Australia and we have a place over here called sophias and the meals are massive like the ones your talking about we went there once for the first time I ordered steak chips and salad when the meal came I swear it had 2 kilos of chips of the plate and 3 yes 3 large steaks and the salad came on a serving platter it was ridicules, you could have fed 4 people with the meal I ordered, I didn't and couldn't finish it, it was such a waste, Apart from Sophia's our restraints over hear have quite normal sizings and we don't have " up size " in maccas or burger king it's simply small medium or large, I went to America when I was 19 and found that our large coke at maccas is your small, I couldn't believe it, we stayed at a motel across from Disneyland it was next to Dennie's and the meals there were quite large aswell, Our country is making meal sizes big aswell compared to what they use to be, I have a 3 year old and she's quite small petite ( she was a 25 Weeker) so she doesn't eat much but we went to the pub for a meal last week and I ordered her a kids size spaghetti, I swear it was a adult size after 5-6 spoon fills she was done and it didn't even look like it hadnt been touched, I havnt been banded yet but I'm looking forward to it x Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk
