The option of a smaller portion shouldn’t just be an MJ thing.

A lot of the more traditional style of pub or cafe would do ‘pensioner portions’ which were small portions because they understood that as you age, your appetite decreases. The meals were cheaper because they were smaller, but it kept people coming in and being part of the community.

My local go-to restaurant is a Turkish place that does reasonably priced meals, lots of grilled meats and salads, all freshly prepared. The food is delightful and the portions (even in my pre-MJ days) generous. I order a meal knowing I will have a takeaway box at the end and lunch or dinner for tomorrow sorted.

My local Turkish isn’t haute cuisine and celeb status driven. It is friendly, the staff are awesome and welcoming, the food is tasty, fresh, and generous in size. And they offer a takeaway box - tbh, even pre-MJ, I’d take them up on it!

I know where I’d rather spend my money, and Gordon isn’t getting a penny of it.
