[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is. Well, it can be. Some people have a mental block and think if they eat bite-sized things on a plate they're holding with one hand while standing, they haven't had a meal. They need to sit at a table and use a fork and knife to feel they've had a meal. [/quote] I think this is it. The idea of "a meal," especially for a special occasion, is cultural. And it's a common idea in the US that a holiday or special event meal involves sitting down with a plate. Also "heavy apps" depends on how they're served. Is there enough for everyone to fill up, or is the idea that they are an appetizer, you shouldn't spoil your appetite, so you get one mini Quiche and one little piece of toast with a topping? Don't get me wrong, I prefer appetizer or cheese plate meals to a big hunk of meat, but people aren't always planning portions that way. [/quote]
