He has a evil plan for your next date. Be careful.

A non hijaabi "Salafi" on a date.

Anyways you have to eat a certain way in front of people. Personally I get something small but get something substantial to eat when I'm alone. Those cadaans and non Africans are more into the design of the food rather than quantity. Its art.

The truth is the portions these restaurants give you are usually suitable as a snack or an appetizer. Go to these places with people with the expectation that you are going to replace your granola bar

Plus the OP is from England so the portions there are even smaller. Last August I went with fams to this Lebanese restaurant, and the waiter comes and gives us the menu. I didn't understand any of it so I just ordered a chicken shawarma plate. It was 15 pounds so I had Palace portions in my mind. The waiter comes brings out a plate that's half empty and no complementary pita bread. I ask the waiter where tf is the pita, he's like with a confused face it's 4 pounds extra

OP: next time ask your date to take you to a Somali restaurant, and order a sports plate for yourself

The best part of Somali restaurants: no tipping expected

I once was at a random restaurant and I was paying with debit. The waitress gave me the interac machine and I was like "how do I get off the tipping screen? Thanks"

I only tip if I'm with a lady

If he couldn't finish it, waxaa la Oran jiray kani waa mid xanuunsane faraha ka qaad.

LOL that's a stupid tradition, what if he wasn't hungry?

England food portions are what I call taste tests. You are paying top pound to see if the food the chef has made is ready or if there needs to be extra salt added. Inyar ee damdam sii is what it is.

No refills either. You're better off eating at your edos house

Now if you had a habit of eating two meals every date

It was automatically assumed he was sick. He had to finish food or forget the girl.
Somalis used to say ninka inta uu cuno ayuu ciidamiyaa.

Sometimes a girl's hungry, but to be honest, the way guys are nowadays, he wouldn't have has a problem (I think) if you paid for the second plate yourself lol

Did he say that playfully, or was it that awkward type of comment. If the latter, I would not go out with him again.
