Just got back from California where it was warm enough that some of us wanted icecream. We went into an icecream joint and I asked for what I always asked for. A single scoop on a sugar cone. To my horror, she started making a grapefruit sized ball of ice cream to put on my cone. NO! i said, I want HALF that! she said, well, this is what you paid for. I continued pleading with her and finally she started to listen and gave me a more reasonably sized portion. Meanwhile, others in the party had ordered 2 scoops or 1 scoop and they were rewarded with immense amounts of icecream.
I was horrified. (and so were some of them)

The very next day we were in Old Folsom, at a really good candy/ice cream store. I saw they had a "child's cone" listed above the single and double scoops. That's what I ordered. It was the right size.

What do you guys do about the huge portions that we are served at food establishments?
