Back in Frankfurt, lentil soup is commonly served in a huge bowl, topped with a huge roll of sausage and stacked with a side serving of bread rolls. The first time I saw it being served in a small roadside standing café, I was appalled by the amount of food these Europeans were served. Lentils are legumes and legumes can be very filling, but most of the café patrons could actually finish every drop of the soup, every inch of their sausages and every crust of their bread rolls. There and then, I doubted the capability of my own appetite and decided to share one bowl of lentil soup with the guy instead.
