What's 'a heavy helping of' mean?

Hi there,

What does 'a heavy helping of' mean? does it exactly mean 'a lot of'? Where else should this phrase be used, except food? Thanks.

Yes it means a lot of or more than is usual. Whilst it is usually used for food I have seen it in other contexts such as "a heavy helping of sarcasm"
