All you can eat or stuff your face until you're sick?

I had my first experience at a particular 'all you can eat' restaurant (which I won't name) last night. It was horrible. I was surrounded by gluttony and waste. The food was very poor quality and people were still shovelling it in! My husband has a big appetite (muscular and he cycles miles every day) so he loves it but I am small so it's wasted on me.

I just hate the whole concept of it really! I dislike all inclusive holidays too, I much prefer to experience local culture rather than stuff in chips and burgers every night surrounded by Brits.

I just wondered if anyone agrees with me as most people seem to love all you can eat places!!

Thanks, Rebecca

Yeah not to keen on them either as 9 times out of ten the food is of such low quality it makes you wonder where they get it from or if it is from the local motor way ...

I much prefer going to a restaurant I know is good and pay a bit more

In my youth, I'll confess to partaking in some all you can eat until you eat When I lived in Cyprus, we went to non tourist restaurants and ate with the local's. A full Greek Meze was a banquet that would last for 6 hours of solid eating and drinking. It was amazing!

But the megacheap all you can eat buffet rubbish, like Chinese you get in this country, or all you can eat pub grub, I can't think of anything worse I'm even sliding towards more veggie as I get older so somethings definitely wrong. Must be the thought of offal, gums and eyeballs in cheap sausages and burgers...

That said, you can't beat a Premier Inn breakfast, which is obviously the finest meat, all you can eat, and I normally have to tear myself away after 2 breakfasts

Never done an all inclusive holiday, never really been a resort fan, or beach sun worshipper. I'm with you, local culture, sightseeing and local grub.

But now with young whipper snappers, things are a changing and I see resorts looming on the horizon, as the sight seeing and culture is being overruled with waterparks and kiddie entertainment Or maybe send them with Grandma
