When eating a meal with friends or in a fancy restaurant, about what fraction of the food is it proper for one to eat?
Thank you very much for your help!

Eat until your full, but since this is more about etiquette i would say 3/4 is about right... especially if your not paying, you dont want to waste another persons money. If your on a date you definalty dont wanna eat too little they might think somethings up.

Eat until you are full. That is not only realistic but, proper. Anything more is gluttony; anything else is rude. P.S. If I am full after the soup...then I don't eat any more...I take a to go box or doggie bag. I will eat my crab for lunch tomorrow, thank you.

You should eat until you are full. It is wasteful to leave a certain percentage in an attempt to seem elegant. It's best if you just mind your manners and take what is left over home in a box. You can be both classy and economical.

The whole thing. Usually, the fancier the restaurant, the smaller the portions. Professional chefs carefully plan the meals to be the correct portion sizes.

If you're w/ friends, eat until you're full. If you're eating in a fancy restaurant, eat everything because it's expensive. Even if you're w/ a date.

If I eat with my friends, we eat till were full. If I am paying good money for it, I will eat what I want. I've never heard of anything so silly.

In the first place don't order more than you can eat. Finish everything on your plate.

Exactly as much as you want to eat, without stuffing yourself.
