That's a fair point. We find the portions large enough, but we also don't stuff our faces at meal time. And at the Skipper, we usually get an app and an entree to split, which is more than enough for us. But I can see how people that eat larger meals wouldn't agree
Interesting.
We did this at Beaches and Cream. The CM misunderstood, and thought we were splitting both, the burger and dessert, so she brought us one No Way Jose Sundae to share. But DH said'I am NOT sharing my dessert!"
May I respectfully request that we refrain from using language like "we also don't stuff our faces"... whether you intend it or not, it could be rather offensive to some since it implies something I don't think... at least, I hope you wouldn't... want to imply. I know many people who consider a wonderful vacation to include lots of indulgences, food and otherwise.
It is probably better for lunch (& dessert) knowing that you have big dinner such as Ohana coming up.
‘To stuff one’s face’ just means to eat a lot, so all you are indicating is that you want a light meal, as you do not want to feel full up (‘stuffed’). There is nothing to imply gorging, gluttony or greediness by others. Just an harmless expression like ‘my eyes were bigger than my belly’.
Perhaps we travel in different circles and your understanding may be shared by others. However, I have only encountered it in the context of the Merriam Webster definition above, i.e. pejorative and judge mental.
I saw the complaint yesterday and wasn't going to respond because I thought it best just to let Debbie Jean state her opinion and everyone move on. Now I check the thread this morning and it has blown up a little. But this comment from @Jangles is exactly what I meant. So hopefully no hurt feelings out there and everyone just move along. I make a lot of jokes on here (even though "stuff your face" wasn't intended as one) but never at someone's expense and never to try to offend.
You were replying to me and I thought you could have stated things differently, but I chalked it up to hasty posting, hence my subsequent reply.
Things can always be stated differently. I wasn't being hasty. I think some of us just have different understandings of what that phrase means, but as I said this morning, I'm never intending to offend or belittle anyone. Can't imagine I will use that phrase again (unless its in reference to myself, which hopefully shouldn't offend anyone). Regardless, its seems a silly discussion to keep having at this point and far off topic from what @ekatiel originally asked. So again I will say, why don't we all just move on ....
