Mine--don't laugh--is random fruit from fruit trees hanging over walls and over the sidewalk.

Although, I once tried to take a plum from a wasp who was sitting on the fruit, and she turned and looked at me, and I quickly let go and let her have it.

There are restaurants that do not allow you to order a kids version for an adult. Yeah, it is that weird. Allegedly those meals are cheaper per amount of food than the adult versions in those places.

Kids meals are generally subsidized by the restaurant as a loss leader for the adult meals. That's why some places even do "kids eat free" — the additional adult meals make up for it. Which is why they don't want to sell kid meals to adults — they're losing money on it.

But there are some that do, and say “of course!”
