what is the north american obsession with deliberately treating food in the most crass and vulgar ways imaginable? I was recently served desert in a pyrex measuring jug without even a saucer under it. Presentation really is everything isn't it? It seems as if it doesnt matter how its cooked or what it tastes like no! "16 shrimps for $15" - Oh my god!..... and another thing, is it just me or is anyone else appalled at the notion of ordering chicken by the bucket? oh to be home again - Quebec isn't perfect but it does represent an island of relative sophistication in a continental sty of gourmands!!

Thanx Nix, have been recently questioning why am still living in grey glasgow after exotic thailand adventures, great gastronomy too if you don't mind the odd bout of food poisoning yes indeed, it's Saturday and full flavoured beatifully presented gambas pil pil in Firebird with a nice bottle of sauvignon is a definate possibility to while away a dreech West end afternoon mmmmmm
