    In the Londis across from the hospital in Galway, you get one slice of ham which is cut in half so that it can cover the length of the roll.

    :(

    Jaypers in that case the new subway that opened up on bolton street is feckin extortionate! I asked for a sub and got, about 5 pieces of chicken, 6 bits of lettuce, and three slices of a pepper, and the guy was like thats a fiver :(

    Subway's portion control is insane.

    I'm finding myself increasingly disappointed with the portion sizes. I just got a medium chicken salad wrap from chopped, assumed I had enough in a fiver, nope it's 5.49.

    The Black Sheep on Capel St does a savage steak burger but the chips, ugh they've quartered a potato basically. And it's 12.50 I think. I'm ok with biggish chips but these are just too big, and never cooked enough.

    There's a chippy near me thats really good, nice big kebab and chicken wings, but the bags of chips are never even half full.

    Really? Chipper I occasionally go to here in Ashbourne [San Remo's]... the chip portions are beyond generous - so often have it go to waste cause there's just too much >_<

    Best chips though! :)

    I get Nasi Goreng at a local Indian place and always have to ask them to put the rest in tinfoil, just can't eat it all in one sitting. And it's about 12 euro or so.

    Nasi Goreng, in an Indians....?

    It's Malay! o.O

    And when you see on the menu, the onion rings or garlic mushrooms. "Six per portion". **** off with your six, I want a decent handful. Something very poxy about six onion rings.

    At least they have the decency of telling you you're only getting 6. Years ago Eddie Rockets used to serve a decent portions of onion rings stacked up nicely. Now you only get like 5 of them in a little bowl and they still charge about 5 € for a portion.

    I usually don't have a problem with small portions though, to be honest I prefer a portion that's slightly too small to one that's too big. Kinda feel bad about all that food going to waste.

    Bernardo's in Shankill do great chips but they really don't give you very many!

    Hate scabby portions. I think Irish people would eat out more if you got a decent feed. I worked in a hotel, If I was serving on a buffet since it wasn't coming out of my pocket, I gave out massive portions.

    Did anyone see how small an Eddie rockets burger is now? FFS!!

    **** the lot of you. I'm drunk and hungry now. I'm not putting on the chip pan on in this condition so I'm stuck going to bed hungry.
