Yes but if you go to very sophisticated restaurants the portions are very small. I think you can appreciate really good food by learning about it, taking small portions and savoring it.

In America we have somehow linked giant portions in a restaurant to getting a good value... it is normal to get an entree that you could stretch into two or three meals, but if you don't pay attention you can end up eating it all. I have this bad habit because I eat too fast, so by the time I realize I am full, I've already eaten too much. Something I'm trying to be more conscious of and overcome.
