Right, so if I'm ever in your house I'll be glad of the warning, as I have a deeply-ingrained case of Clean Plate Guilt, the fear that if every edible morsel proffered to me is not consumed, I will have insulted the host / the cook / the other people at the table / God / the starving children in $DEVELOPING_COUNTRY and will bring shame upon my self and everyone who knows me.
Absurd, yes, but it makes eating in restaurants difficult since the portions are so huge (at least in the US).
