50 Word/Food: Beijing Midnight -- by Mac Millings

.

Squatting by the charcoal grill, breath mingling with cumin smoke, we await a winter midnight treat. Our Uyghur friend seasons the yangrou chuanr - five pieces per stick; four meat, one fat.

A street vendor, his restaurant had been given two weeks' notice. It was bulldozed, for the city's beautification.

50 Word/Food: Al Fresco -- by Munni

.

It rained, and was too cold for a picnic, so instead we sat in the car and watched the raindrops that landed halfheartedly on the windows and rolled down the glass like slugs. We ate our sandwiches and cake anyway, but it wasn’t the same.

50 Word/Food: Passing -- by Tony Parker

.

When Keith and Mandy won the lottery, they moved to an exclusive estate near Bath, without telling anyone they knew. Determined to make a good impression on their neighbours, they invited them to dinner.

“Wherever can they be?” asked Mandy, as she glazed the duck breasts, “it’s one thirty already”.

Romanesco

Just an illustration to our 50 word stories involving food... thank you Mimi for reminding me about this rather aggressive-looking brassica.

And here's a nice page about stalking this fractal veg with a camera.

50 Word/Food: Post Office -- by Mac Millings

.

The white-tiled Post Office has tables outside; 3-kuai noodles arc into the boiling pot. Soon, they slop into the bowl. "No cilantro, miss – hot oil!" Bite the raw garlic clove, let the noodles slip down after. "Helloooo! Laowai, take a picture with my son!" This is my Beijing.

50 Word/Food: Temptation -- by Mimitig

.

I looked, longingly, at the langoustines on the plate opposite. Luscious and moist. Delicious. Local. But I knew eating could be fatal. Shell-fish and me – we can’t ever meet. Just this once, I thought, so tempting, worth a night of illness.

Boringly, I didn’t risk it – organic salmon, delicious.

50 Word/Food: Turning Point -- by Zephirine

.

He let the omelette get cold on his plate. He ate a few vegetables and looked at his watch.

That's when I knew it was over. Once, he used to love it when I cooked for him.

But as my mother always said, you can't reheat an omelette.

50 Word/Food: No Accounting -- by Tony Parker

.


“So let me see; you want me to take this magnificent piece of sirloin, cook every last drop of moisture out of it, spread caviar over it and then drown it in bisto gravy. Forget it.”

“Let me remind you, officer, this is not your last meal we’re talking about.”
