    I love broccoli! May I have more please?
    You can have my portion.

    Thanks.
    Want my eggplant?

    I'll take that... breaded in eggplant parm, or cooked up in garlic
    sauce, or in ratatouie with other veggies, or..... ;)

    ... I've had an elegant sufficiency; any more would be a superfluity.

    And you can have it!
    I'll send it express to your place.
    Special delivery.
    Which reminds me.
    When I was little and didn't want to eat something my mother was always reminding me of the poor starving children in Germany, Japan and Korea
    who would love to have what I didn't want.
    As time passes, the role of parent and child somewhat reverse.
    When I was in my early '30s visiting her at the home she picked at her
    meal then pushed it away saying she didn't want it.
    I said "Think of the poor hungry people in Ethiopia (at the time) who
    would love to have that."
    She looked at me, as mothers do, and said "Then pack it up and send it
    to 'em!"
    I nearly fell out of the chair laughing.

    Turnabout is fair play.
