We’ve decided to do away with blog-for-a-beer and free things up so you can spend that munificent $10 Paypal payment anywhere you like!
This week, we invite commentary about fantasy meals, particularly the amuse-bouche. I remember being entranced by the idea of Turkish Delight in the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, and strolling through the description of the River Rat’s picnic in Kenneth Graham’s The Wind in the Willows:
“There’s cold chicken inside it,” replied the Rat briefly:

The ten dollar prize for the best or most entertaining comment should be spent on food — and we hope you’ll come back and describe it for us!
Here’s a starter – what sort of amuse-bouche might they serve at:
- The inn in Birds
- The magician’s party in Chemical Magic
- The face to face meeting on the plains of Subsuban in Teaching a Pink Elephant to Ski
