Mmmm....
I work 4 or 5 blocks from Mallorca. Normally that is both too pricy and too much food for me to go there for lunch, but today, in preparation for the fast, that's what I did. Their portion sizes (at least for lunch) are truly astonishing; I had a huge piece of tuna, and it came accompanied by a plate of vegetables, a plate of rice, a plate of potato chips, a small loaf of bread, and a salad. (Needless to say, I did not eat all of this -- though I ate much more than I would have on a normal day.)
They do the side dishes family-style, so if you go there with another person they'll bring the single plate of rice, plate of veggies, and so on. What seems a little odd to me is that when you go there alone they don't scale those back. I would have expected a plate with the tuna, some rice, some veggies, etc, all on one plate.
This was a $12 lunch, by the way -- expensive for lunch in general, but quite reasonable for the food that went with it. (And Mallorca food is yummy, too, so it's not just a quantity thing.)
I finally learned the secret of fasting last year. You don't eat a huge dinner half an hour before sundown. You eat a huge lunch and a small dinner. (And drink as much water as you can possibly hold, of course.)
