-I had a cheeseburger for lunch.
If, in addition to your own claim, another patron says he saw you wiping ketchup from your mouth and if the waitress tells me she served you a cheeseburger, and a bystander says you entered the diner and left a short while later, THEN I would be more likely to believe your testimony, in light of their additional testimony, and accept that evidently you did in fact eat a cheeseburger.
(Can someone 'had' a cheeseburger and 'ate' it too? I guess that's entirely possible using the past tense. Personally, I'm a Chicago-style red hot eater myself, preferably with sport peppers, home-cut fries, and a pint from Half-Acre brewing company.)
