That's a good idea; if you then ordered your boeuf in 5 different languages, you might get close to the size of one American portion, so your wife can keep up her full American size figure too!

Good one. We Americans do have an "issue" with postion control! The Dutch are so very restrained and disciplined unless you count sex, drugs and drinking.

But the little wife wasn't always so husky. She was a tiny little thing in a Dolly Parton sort of way before we had to drop out of junior high and start helping daddy on the farm.

That's probably it then; we Dutch are so busy with sex, drugs and drinking that we don't have time for boeuf bourguignon.
