I have some family in the UK. A few years ago my cousin came to visit me from England and we stopped by a local pizza place (Mike's Pizza in Fairfield, CT for anyone who cares). I got a regular meatball sub and she didn't want anything. When we got home and I unwrapped it, her eyes popped. Until then, she thought that the sandwiches she saw on American TV shows were just a joke: she had no idea that our sandwiches were actually that big (yeah, Mike's used to really stuff them, but still). As she explained, back in the UK, you could maybe get one half the size and even then it would be unusual. I nodded in understanding as I sucked the entire thing down.
