Funny food story for ya. As you know, I was in Scotland last month. I was there for a friends wedding. They went to Belgium and Amsterdamn for their honeymoon. Well, the hotel they stayed at in Belgium required that they eat dinner 1 time at the hotel restuarant. My buddy was looking over the menu (which was rather pricey, but expected) and decided on a baked potato with caviar on it. He thought it cost 700 of whatever their money is. Well, turned out it was 2000 of whatever their money is! Translated to American money, it was a $40 baked potato!
He is a camera guy and takes pictures of everything, but alas he didn't get a picture of the $40 baked potato.

Always make sure you know the price, sez Bruck who once had a very nice plate of spaghetti and meat sauce in Lake Como (the town, not the lake) and enjoyed it immensely until he discovered that it cost the equivalent of about $50.
