The First Person To Double Entendre Their Way Around A Cucumber Can Show Themselves Out

**Food is a dichotomy…fat people hate to love it…and skinny people love to hate it. – Garfield comic strip**
I’ve spent the day – nominally at work - catching up on my favourite gastroporn. Boulangeries! Pâtisseries! Fromage! Chocolat! Vin! Frutti di mer! Whatever the French word for “orgasmic” is!
It’s a cruel and unusual masochist who reads about and lusts over figs with chili chocolate, fava bean and goats cheese pasta and tiny little roasted cherry tomatoes while stuck at their desk having a lunch of lumpy leek and potato cup-a-soup and choccy mini eggs [yes, at the same time, what?!].
This is how I spend most of my “free” time at work: food porn.
At least the tomatoes are healthy!
How much of a philistine does it make that I’d prefer the soup and mini-eggs?
How much of a palestinian does it make (me) that I’d prefer a larger proportion of the West Bank and an Arab homeland within Israel?
