We round it off - hamburgers usually come as 90 g, 120 g or 150 g (grams) 
over here. The terminology here is Big Mac ("Le Big Mac" in France I think), 
QPC, Whopper etc - North American hamburger addicts may survive in Europe.

I want to thank those who responded about the Russian "mk" also. It became 
clear that it referred to mikrobecquerel - and it was actually per liter of 
air - the context was about air above mill tailings, open mine pits etc.
