Husband used to work at a retreat center & we lived on the grounds (miserable year). Meals were served buffet style & there were 2 meats at dinner - beef & chicken. The people were supposed to take just 1 meat, but many people would take a full serving of each. The cook grumbled & complained about it every weekend. Besides not knowing for sure how much food to make, it must have cut into the profits, too.

Since I hung out in the kitchen I saw how the food was prepared - I would have gone for both the meats & left the overcooked canned vegetables.
