Appetizers that eat like a main course

[igrsod]

Just curious if anyone has any experience with this. We found that at Mama Melrose, some of the appetizers were large enough/filling enough to be a meal.
Any other suggestions before I scour through all the menus?

Usually at homecoming in Disney Springs I eat some of their appetizers at my main meal, that plus their hummingbird cake for dessert!

DH and I do this alot, there are alot of interesting options...

Lots of places offer appetizer platters, and other options that are meant for sharing... RainForest, T-Rex, Planet Hollywood come to mind right away at Disney Springs.


We were at Terralina on Saturday night and the couple we were with got "Italian Fries" they are covered in a creamy cheese sauce and salami, the portion was huge, We got the mozzarella stuffed rice balls, three large rice balls, with a tomato basil sauce for dipping... again alot of food and easily shareable...

I would just spend some time checking out the menus and see what looks good to you...

I started my initial searching. I was thinking since I'm not a big eater, my DH and I could split a TS credit on the Deluxe Plan (assuming it comes back before our trip). We have done this before at Mama Melrose easily.
Chef Art Smith might be harder, as I am a vegetarian. If bread service at Sanaa still counts as an appetizer, then that is totally doable as one credit.

Restaurant Marrakesh had appetizers that were so large that my wife and I stopped purchasing main courses. The Bastilla's and the Brewat Rolls were enough for the two of us.

Very interesting thread.......I have always been a dining plan - must do person. But since there are no dining plans, I've had to change my mindset a bit and I am finding that there are many options I have not even considered. This trip I may take the estimated cost of what a dining plan might have been - use that and see where I fall being over or under with the flexibility that I know I will love.

The occasional appetizer and dessert meal is a favorite of ours!

I've seen on several videos of people ordering the prime rib slider appetizer in the lounge at the Yacht Club. That's on my to do list.

Sanaa, the Indian-style bread service. I never order a meal because I just fill up on that!

I usually do an appetizer and dessert. I find they are generally the best items on a menu and bonus you don't get filled up.

I know... isn't it delicious. I crave it. We always get it, every trip.

Another appetizer and dessert person, I rarely order an entre. My favorite, Cobb Salad at HBD. I never order the meal one, always the appetizer one and a piece of grapefruit cake.

I sometimes order just an appetizer and dessert, but I have this same question since I don't always order right. Last time I just ordered the Brazilian Bread at Jungle Skipper Canteen. It filled me up, but I wished I'd gotten something less carb-heavy. At Sanaa, I got the Salad Sampler (don't know if that counts as appetizer or side) and dessert. That salad sampler is my new favorite!

The Cobb is no longer on the appetizer menu just lunch/dinner entree The lounge doesn’t seem to be doing food either.

Last time I ate at Tony's, I got a salad and an order of their fried cheese!

And, at the Nomad Lounge, it's the beef sliders!

One of my favorite app meals is pan cristal and an endive salad at Jaleo.

One of my favorite app meals is pan cristal and an endive salad at Jaleo.

I could eat 2 or 3 plates of the pan de cristal by myself. It's really popular in Barcelona/Catalunya where they call it pa amb tomaquet. Brings back good memories.

I love most all of the appetizers at Chef Art Smith's Homecomin' ... almost all of them are something to write home about.
