It sounds like that one Asterix movie where they had to do the twelve tasks.
In one task Obelix went into an all-you-can-eat restaurant and had to eat everything he was given. He did. Then the cook ran out crying that he has nothing else to serve and he is now ruined.
Obelix went out like, "Such a weird cook; he gave me appetizers and left!"
Those roast boars always looked like the tastiest thing ever.

It still stands up well today too.
The Egyptian hypnotist scene was one of the funniest things I had ever seen at the time 🤣
"Those must be very useful for reading in bed".
I've got some great nostalgia for the Asterix movies, dubbed in my native language, from watching them as kids.
Recently on some Christmas we met with family and ended up watching Mission Cleopatra (or however it's translated), for Christmas. No regrets.
Good art is timeless
Oh I remember that one. Good old times
Been a lot of years but I think they did run out "after (or during?) appetizers". Probably with the intent to dispirit the challengers, or maybe overestimating their own stocks.
