Yesterday I ducked into a vegetarian cafe to get some lunch. I decided to have a smoothie, which arrived all green and gloopy. It was drinkable and did the job of providing a liquid lunch. Eventually…as it arrived in a cup with the hole for a straw that cut off any chance of the drink passing through. I thought the world ought to be told.

Although I tend not to worry too much about how food looks, as in those ridiculous t.v. cooking show “Give it some colour” type comment, I would agree that the effect would tend to put anyone but the truly dedicated right off their food! As for the straw, it’s a feature of the service to make you appreciate how strong your mouth muscles really are!
