No kidding! Years ago, I went on a food and wine trip to Italy. Every day featured multi-course lunches with wine pairings and even more elaborate dinners at amazing restaurants. In between, there were visits to wineries, olive oil mills, balsamic vinegar makers, cheese makers, etc, etc, etc. Truly wonderful but also overwhelming.
On one of the last days, we called ahead to the lunch restaurant and asked if we could just have a big salad instead of all the courses. They readily agreed and when we arrived, they proudly presented us with a gorgeous salad. We were delighted and enjoyed it thoroughly. Then they trotted out the rest of the courses...and the wines....🙃
