I've been a vegetarian for a while now, but I remember visiting England at age 17 and at nearly every restaurant we visited, I would order a burger. Every place had a "quarter pound beefburger" or something like it on the menu, and I was there for it. The greatest and most memorable was this one restaurant where one of the menu items was, as I recall, "two half-pound beefburgers". When it showed up at the table my brother was astounded and my dad said something like "He might share with the rest of us." I did not. They had their own meals, and I had my pound of beef for lunch. I've had to slow down a bit as I reach middle age, and I've been a vegetarian since 2003, but I probably eat around 4LBs of fake meat most weeks, not counting all the tofu. (I'm not saying this isn't absurd. Just a fun anecdote.)
