Ribs - perfect for me in restaurant

[snagglepuss]

Went for a birthday meal today in one of those terrible gastro pubs - not my choice - but discovered how to appear to be having a normal sized meal without actually eating much at all! I ordered a rack of ribs, which looked huge on the plate when it arrived but actually contained just a small amount of very tender meat, and once it was unassembled and I'd had a good chomp leaving a pile of bones, it looked like I'd had loads, thereby avoiding that look that waiters give you when they see what you've left and ask if everything was ok! I asked for the BBQ sauce to come on the side so I could avoid the sugar content. Sorted!

Hi Kate! Yes the ribs were gorgeous, and because they are so tender they dont give me any problems, plus you can nibble slowly - i will certainly be doing ribs again next time! i assume you are still doing fabulously? You really seem to have this cracked! I'm slow but steady, but not complaining!

I had a little NSV this week - I bought my first item of clothing from Toast, a lovely plum coloured dress to wear with leggings - yeah, LEGGINGS! I'd never have dared wear leggings before, my legs would have looked like two sides of beef!

Keep up the good work, and get yourself a rack of ribs pronto! X x

Thats a great idea Snaggle. I hadn't thought of asking for the BBQ sauce on the side. I'll have that next time we're out and it's on the menu.
Perhaps we should have an Eating Out Thread with tips and calorie portions . I still like to eat out but sometimes really anxious about what to choose and end up not being able to get anything in !
Pouchetta dislikes stress!
