Steak steak and more steak.

Mike Harding (an English comedian) tells a story from his tour of America, which took place a few years ago. He and his road crew had travelled the length and breadth of the States, performing at every stop, and eating in restaurants en-route. Everywhere he ate, the menu was steak, steak and steak - steak so big it would have fed forty Africans for a week. After performing at a Native-American reservation, he ate at the local restaurant, which was owned, managed, and staffed by Native Americans. The menu said "steak", but Harding was sick unto death of steak, and longed for the curried, oriental-style meals of his home town (somewhere in the north of England).
With the Native American waiter lurking at his elbow, ready to take the order, Harding said to his crew, in a loud voice:
D'you know, I could really murder an indian!

John Locke.

Right, read about him earlier (after your original post). Quite a free thinker for his time.

Before 1776, when there wasn't much intellectual competition.
