Well 'meal' is maybe a little grand, our last snack in the US was at Orlando airport. There had been some sandwiches and wraps at the hotel before we left but K and I weren't so impressed and hence still hungry. I had a rather odd craving for a 'proper' hotdog and this is what I ended up with. I eschewed the proffered cheese on the chips as this seemed rather odd to me but then I'm sure other people would think that me liking malt vinegar liberally sprinkled on my chips would be weird also! I can assure you I haven't enhanced the lurid colour of the hotdog, this was as it came "au natural". I guess the luminious glow would be useful for nocturnal scoffing. I wouldn't want one often but the hotdog hit the spot! K (who possibly is the tiniest person in the world) couldn't decide what of the "fine" Italian fare to partake of so got a plate of tomato doused pasta and pepperoni pizza and garlic bread. Well she had a long flight! She reckons that the pasta in particular was good. I think I ate better than K but then with all the tomato, what am I going to say? This er "feast" was extremely different from my first meal in the US on this trip but we can't eat Michelin starred gorgeousness every day!

Food, like a loving touch or a glimpse of divine power, has that ability to comfort.
Enchant, stay beautiful and graceful, but do this, eat well. Bring the same consideration to the preparation of your food as you devote to your appearance. Let your dinner be a poem, like your dress.
I wish you a merry Christmas, I wish you a merry Christmas, I wish you a merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well
Cooking is like love, it should be entered into with abandon or not at all
Here's to another year of eating fabulously!
They dined on mince, and slices of quince, which they ate with a runcible spoon
Bear in mind that you should conduct yourself in life as at a feast
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Christmas is coming, the goose is getting fat
'tis the season to be jolly, tra la la la la... la la la la
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire, Jack Frost nipping at your nose...
Dine we must and we may as well dine elegantly as well as wholesomely
Full of mellow fruitfulness
Melting in your mouth and not in your hand!
Eating the Big Apple, one bite at a time
(Not always about mash!)
It's tasty, tasty very very tasty! It's very tasty!

Although I love haute cuisine, the one thing I miss from the states are cheesedogs. Yum!
