Well, jsut speaking off the cuff here - nutritionally, that IS a meal. You
have your basic protein loadout [chicken leg quarter, salted nuts] a basic
veggie [acorn squash half] Carbs in the form of bread, pie crust and pearl
barley, and fruit in the form of the grapes and apple pie.

Just using my Corinne Netzer, I make it out to be: [note, i defaulted to
base portions not being there and seeing what was actually served...] format

Personally, that is over half the calories and about triple the carbs I get
in a day. It is also 3x the rda of protein.

What more do you need? A  traditional groaning board? Personally I could do
without the acorn squash, Id rather have a nice hubbard squash soup which
would have gone nicely with the bread, butter and nibbles. I probably would
have added a salad however.

I could see a very picky eater going home hungry - but not a bad meal. I
have paid for similar meals in resteraunts without a quibble, and seen many
otehr people do so. It is about what you would get at home.
