Meals came and the vegetable on everyone's plate was corn. My parents were shocked and looked at the corn with confusion. My dad said "they are feeding us like pigs" - how can they put a steak (the very best food) on the same plate a something (in Europe at least) that is not for for human consumption (and used almost exclusively to feed livestock).
Still laugh about it to this day.
