Rebel with a fork
For the first time in my life, I broke the Buffet Commandments yesterday. For the heathens out there who don't know these sacred rules, they go thusly:1) Thou must start with the cold food, including the bean salad that NO ONE ON EARTH could possible like, but feels obliged to eat out of some kind of sick penance for the gorging that is to come
2) Thou must avoid all starchy foods like the plague, for they filleth the stomach
3) Thou must eat at least five plates of prawns and/or oysters, for they are the most expensive
4) Thou must avoid all fried foods, for they cost $1 a kilo at the chip shop downstairs
5) Thou must not let the hot and cold food mingle, for they will interbreed and produce unclean offspring
6) Thou may not taste the soup, for it has probably been rotting there for five hours
7) Thou must hide something in thine purse/pockets to take home
(down with the base-10 system too! vive la revolution!)
Here's my own tried and tested revolutionary menu:
Entree: cheescake accompanied by pasta and garlic bread, + soup
Main: roast beef, pappadams, calimari chips and cucumber
Dessert: everything in the dessert bar, naturally
Changing the world, one plate at a time.
