[MR] Dayboard Etiquette Thoughts

[Dessert Duchess]

At my daughter's Montessori preschool they used signs on each dish with a picture of the food x how many they could have (i.e. a picture of 3 olives, 2 strawberries, etc.).  Maybe we should go back to the old saying "everything you need to know you learned in kindergarten".

Siegfried opined:

Just at least putting up a small signboard at the beginning of the line,that gives a suggested serving?   I've seen this done before, where it said:  "Everyone should be able to have:  * A piece of fruit, a couple eggs, a few slices of bread, and one chunk of meat" ... or similar statements. 

This is exactly the value of a conversation, my friend. Thank you. 

We had considered the use of polite signs but couldn't come up with wording that we thought would work ... this is eloquent and simple. Thank you.
