Shoe by Gary Brookins and Susie MacNelly for September 05, 2012

Same old stuff. More picturesque descriptions.

The secret to gourmet restaurants, is in how they describe the same food you can get for half the price, somewhere else.

All he probably did was stick three, four or five crossed forks and spoons next to dishes and instantly they became three, four or five star gourmet delights.

I was just thinking that. Quite right.

They took their lesson from the boxes of cereal, microwaveable and dehydrated foods, cans of soup, etc. The pictures are “serving suggestions only.” Any resemblance between the picture and the actual product inside is purely coincidental.

I like Shoe. I used to read it as a child

Dress him up. Take him out. And he eats the…..menu !

does she have roadkill phseant on the menu? I didn’t see it?

@Linguist

Excellent point.The same applies to cars, etc.A Chevy will do the same job for you as a BMW, and won’t empty your bank account to pay for such routine stuff as oil changes.Big ticket homes, cars, cuisine, and all manner of other stuff denotes prestige and appeals to “exquisite tastes”, but serves the same utilitarian purpose as the cheaper versions.A shack gives you shelter, a Big Mac sates your hunger, and a Chevy will get you to where you want to go.

Roadkill opossum sounds good.
