One way to get around this is the way that regular food service often
does: buffet with servers at each food. Ellesbeth Donofrey instituted this
in our group and we found that it works fairly well in terms of people
actually getting the food. Of course, you have to give the servers a
really good idea of what constitutes a portion. (We don't generally do
buffet though, I suspect because it tends to add to the non-eating,
non-having-fun time in the feast.
