What is amazing when
you go to a buffet restaurant is seeing how much food some people put
onto their plates when they are selecting their food. Of course
everything does look good but the idea is you can go back more than
once to select food.
The idea at the
buffet is to select a few items (not heaping plates full) and go back
to your table and eat what you selected. If you just wanted a taste
of a lot of different things than the amount on your plate should be
a taste size not a full serving of everything you want to taste. In
a lot of cases the first trip to the buffet table is to see what is
available and maybe get a few small portions of food so that you can
decided what you really want to have when you go back to get more.
What I have noticed
is that when some people go up to the buffet table they have a
heaping plate and just pick a few mouthfuls off of that plate before
leaving the remaining food on the plate and go and get some different
food. If you are unsure of what you really want then just take small
portions until you know. The people that leave the first heaping
plate of food then normally come back with another heaping plate of
food only to do the same thing again. Most of the food that they are
put on their plates never gets eaten and it is just wasted.
You wonder why
buffets are so expensive, well someone has to pay for all the food
that is wasted by being put on plates and just thrown out. It would
be really nice if people did a little bit of thinking when they are
doing their selection instead of grabbing lots of everything. The
basic idea of a buffet is to be able to have a selection of foods and
be able to go back and get more if you need more food. Of course
there are people who have heaping plates of food and can actually eat
everything they selected. Those are the people that really enjoy the
buffet experience and will get the best value for the price.
Next time you are at
a buffet restaurant look at the plates of the people around you. How
many eat almost everything if not everything they have selected and
how many leave most of their choices on the plate only to be thrown
out. It is amazing to see how much food is really wasted at buffet
restaurants and the people that normally complain about the price of
the meal are the ones that are leaving piles of food on their plates
each trip to the buffet table.
So, next time when
you are at a buffet table remember, you can go back and get more food
after you have finished what you selected. It is best to take
smaller portions until you are sure what you really like especially
if you are trying something you are unsure about. Pace yourself
because if you eat too much too fast you are just going to be
uncomfortable and really not enjoy yourself.
A buffet is great
for when you are unsure of what you really want as you can have lots
of small bits of a lot of different foods.
