AWESOME FOOD DAY!

Hey Troops, I attended a Christmas due and was dreading the temptations but did fabulously well! There were tables laden with liver killers but I loaded my plate with raw veggies, hummus, a couple of shrimp, then declined the soup (salt/water/fat and more salt) in favour of the salad with just vinegar and in lieu of the unbelievably decadent desserts I asked for fruit salad which was on the menu card but they ran out so I casually got up, wandered over to the chocolate fountain (yes, you heard me) and plucked a banana from the fruit bowl and was promptly told that the fruit in the ornate terrines were for display only. I told the fruit guard that that was the most ridiculous thing I'd ever heard. He agreed but said they had a function the next day and needed the fancy displays. I enjoyed my potassium spear and marvelled at the stupidity of offering a lush arrangement of fresh fruit, at a banquet no less......for display only.

Cheers, Liz

The Fruit guard 🤔

In Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, why did Nebula want to eat the fruit so badly, given she was being told it was not ripe multiple times?

No answer to that?

What is the name of the fruit Nebula was trying to eat in Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 2?

Real life yarrow root same family as carrot & leaves used to make herbal. 🤔

Bananas innit. 😜
