We often split a meal when we go out to eat — that’s just about the right amount of food. Or else take home the rest for the next day. I’ve heard that restaurants do that because they can charge more for the bigger portions, and it doesn’t cost them that much more. Maybe I’m maligning the restaurant industry, but I would rather have smaller portions and smaller prices to go with them.

Do Americans think pizza was invented here? I thought we just believe it was perfected here. 🙂
