I really didnt think I would have anything to add to this QOTW until I remembered this
One night I met up with a couple of friends for a pub meal
This being our local, we know that the average main course for one would comfortably feed at least 3 people, 2 if they were gluttonous pigs.
Its normal that the bar staff keep hovering around to see how you are coping with the portions and will bring you a doggie bag half way through your meal if it looks like you are going to do a Mr Creosote.
6 of us once dined quite nicely thank you, on a sharing platter for 2.
So anyway this night, we got a platter for 2, for the 3 of us, and sure enough when we had had our fill, there was still a little under half left and they brought us a polystyrene tray to take the leftovers home.
Well actually 2 as we had two homes to go to.
At the next table we had some rather obviously tourists, 8 of them, loud and enthusing about their visit, they couldn't decide what they wanted, so ordered a different starter and main meal each so they could try a bit of everything.
We couldn't help but look astounded as dish after dish arrived at their table.
The bar staff actually looked like they were trying not to smirk.
For the next couple of hours this loud group got quieter and quieter as they defiantly ploughed their way through their food.
The waitress kept coming over to see if she needed to offer doggie bags but on seeing them resolutely eating just asked if everything was ok.
Grunts and nods as they chowed on, not knowing that they could take the excess home with them if they admitted defeat or simply put their cutlery down.
Seems that they may have felt that as they had paid for their food, by god they were going to eat it all or die in the process.
This was like the best of car crash TV as we watched them conspicuously consume enough food to feed a small african village for a day .
( no racism inferred or implied TM)
How we stopped ourselves from cheering as they waddled out, burping and holding distended stomachs while leaving behind almost polished clean plates is beyond me

So your story is ...

No
I went to the pub, ate a large meal, then watched others eat a large meal
