Recently I made a barley and vegetable dish. Disappointing — so much barley it blanded out the vegetables — and way bigger than the recipe said.
That’s supposed to be a meal for three people. Barley is a heavy meal — I can’t imagine the average person would chow down a third of that even if it tasted better.
I should have known better. I almost never eat a recipe that doesn’t wildly understate volume. At half the amount, it would have been acceptable, as I’d have eaten it at much fewer meals.
