Go anywhere in Europe: you get a pound of fries with whatever entreee you order, even a tofu wrap, and 4oz of mayo artfully drizzled on your fries. It takes about 4 days to wrap your head around this, and *there is no ketchup in Europe*.

I could live without ketchup. I could live with getting a pound of side order with my entrees too. I hate leaving a restaurant still hungry.

They do have ketchup in Europe - it's just not commonly seen in restaurants. I remember seeing some in a French version of a convenience store. It was a German brand, available in mild or spicy. It's still an adjustment, though - they just don't use some of what we do. And they're probably better off with sugar cubes and whole milk, rather than aspartame and non-dairy coffee creamer.
