seshat's blog post - Prejudice

At lunch I once ate some leftovers from the previous dinner, including Brussels sprouts.

A colleague says "Oh, I wouldn't have taken you for someone who likes sprouts"

Today I talked about the dinner party I organised last Saturday, a pretty elaborate menu.

The same colleague says: "Oh, I wouldn't have thought you were that culinary a person"

Well, I guess I'm supposed to take that as "Oh, I thought fat people didn't eat veggies and only bought take-away junk food"? Some people...

Btw, the menu last Saturday was:

Starter/hors d'oeuvres:
cebiche - salmon mousse and lumpfish caviar on toast - devilled crab cakes (cajun)

Entree:
sweet and sour porc with chocolate, red wine vinegar, pine nuts and raisins

Dessert:
(my old favorite) pecan and almond pie


And I'm having some friends over next Saturday too, now to figure out another menu...
