  1. Presentation is everything in the food business. This quite remarkable. Do you get to nibble on it while waiting for the meal to be served?

    If I was not so tired a would write a Haiku in honour of your Prime Minister, Herman Van Rompuy, getting a new job with the EU. Who will hold Belgium together now?
