We don't. :-) We know which pleasures to enjoy - and otherwise resist!
Left pondian portions can be big. Feeling a little peckish we once
ordered a beef sandwich in Miami International Airport. I'm sure they
gave us a cow between 4 slices.
They can be big, and often packed with more sugar than we would have here too. Even self catering you can't get away so easily from "sweet" bread - though we do find the Chicago Italian from the Publix is good.:-) But somehow the sweet tooth I don't really have at home kicks in when there. I quite like their long
life supermarket stuff! Wouldn't want it all the time though.
And we have found places where the portions weren't so massive - or it was easy
to leave the pasta and fish out the sea food. ( Just saw what I did there).
Portion sizes can be just as bad back here though. In Kent we went to a nearby
pub for a meal, and mr kat actually struggled to finish his sausage and mash. --
