This has happened before and I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it any more.

I picked up an order of steamed clams and a cheeseburger to go. I get home and open the styrofoam boxes. Inside one, as promised, are 30 littlenecks and a small container of garlic butter (maybe 3 ounces - sufficient for our purposes). Inside the other is a 1/2 pound burger, a good portion of fries and a small container of slaw about 1/3 the size of the butter container! Maybe an ounce. Might hold 2 coffee creamers or six quarters. Appropriate for tartar sauce maybe. A Reagan era serving of vegetables, maybe. A forkful. I'd be embarrassed to put this in front of a customer.

So what's the correct size for a side of slaw? I like at least an ice cream scoopful, if not two. I want a side, not a condiment.

Your thoughts?
