Kay, Sorry, I must have missed your asking before.
Agreed, this is a lot of food. My observation is that some of the big eaters just go ahead and bolt it down.
On the other hand, other people do like I do and perhaps sample each component of the dishes but only finish the more interesting (and non-fattening) parts of each dish. Similarly, not drinking all of the wine pours is common among some (many?) of us.
Altogether, this was a very successful event with lots of good repartee among attendees to go along with the interesting culinary and vinous delights.
