Size Matters in Breakfast


I've become addicted to a fruit that is in season right now called the Japanese Persimmon, of course I didn't know what it was for a while, we would just buy it and eat it because it tasted good. It actually comes from China but if you ever have the chance to try one, please do. They are delicious! I have them for breakfast a lot.
I had to write this about breakfast though because the Japanese tendency of making lots of things much smaller than Americans are used to has stretched into this realm. The bacon servings here are so small that it is just hilarious! I put up a pic to show some that mom made the other day. They are so cute. But the Japanese do make things much smaller for portion sizes. Mom and I went to Wendy's for the first time just to get a frosty and we ordered smalls. Well, from the pic, you can see they are really really small and they weren't filled up all the way and mom had a hole in her frosty so she was eating and it became hollow so there really wasn't much to speak of. We were debating how Americans would react if they starting using the sizing standards from Japan in the US. Outrage! Scandal! Smaller pants!
