When next we dine we are not tempted by the Voice. We are wary of
weird sauces. We shun the cunning aspics. We look about at our
neighbor's table. He is eating of things French, and Russian and
Hungarian. Of food garnished, and garish and greasy. And with a little
sigh of Content and resignation we settle down to our Roast Beef,
Medium.
