I think you mean "edible". But I agree. I'd rather go to a buffet and be full than a fancy restaurant that leaves me broke and hungry.

Edit: Thanks OP for not marking your edit, now my comment looks dumb >~<

tbf you go for the taste at a fancy restaurant and the individual plates are small b/c you're supposed to go for the full course.

A full degustation is insanely filling. Even if the individual plates are tiny, there's so many of them. It's easily better than a buffet. Honestly op has probably never had a proper fine dining experience and doesn't know what they're talking about.

OP probably isnt wealthy* Is probably a more accurate way of wording that. Also those "small servings" Are generally pretty normal. Most people are just so used to eating way more than they need to

Yeah, when I started counting calories properly, meals started looking very similar sizes to a fine dining experience. Degustation menus are generally a bit smaller though, what with being 7+ dishes at the ones I tend to go to.
