When I attended 1st and 2nd grade in rural Belgium (1955/56) I was the only boy in my class who didn’t have a ceramic-top bottle of beer at lunch. I had a bottle of warm 7-up, which all of the Belgian kids tried to trade me for.

We had a French exchange student in elementary school in America. I asked him what he ate for breakfast. He said "a glass of wine and a bowl of chocolate." It was the most insane thing I'd ever heard.
