The idea could be perfectly cute, and I feel like it would have been so easy to not make it "shame-y".

Like, "just a nibble", "pretty good!”, "yum!" and "my favorite". "I couldn't possibly...", "if you insist", and "thanks Grandma".

I briefly looked into how you make a food safe painted plate at home and the answer seems to be "easy if you have a kiln".
You might be able to find a paint your own pottery store near you. I went to one with some friends and it was a lot of fun and I got a colorful owl coin bank for like, $10 or something. Just have to make sure it's food safe, but they usually coat everything in a glass food safe glaze so it should be.

Unrelated, weed is legal where I live, so when I checked the website for the place I went, it had big banners for "summer kids clay classes!" And "pot-tery for adults!" right next to each other.
It totally makes sense but part of me is still startled by tangential consequences of legalization.

Yeah me too. This has potential!

"Food Coma / Foodie" are in the image, and that's pretty solid. Maybe "3-Star / 5-Star / Greasy Spoon"? I like the one that you came up with that ends with "thanks Grandma."
