Rant 280 6/10/12 Subject: Magic party food

Rant number 280

I think I've mentioned it once or twice before - but whether I have or not before I shall now:
I really love food.

I'm far from alone in this of course - most people like food. It's none the less a fairly important to note this.

This evening I was at a party for a friend. It was good fun and she seemed to enjoy it. There was the usual drinks (although I was driving, so I was mostly on coke) and of course party food.

I - like everyone else in the wold, love party food. Little sausages, sausage rolls - things on sticks all get my motor running just like everyone else.

Part of me however, really hates these things!

They taste fabulous - a fact that none of us will argue. Unfortunately, because of this they are a bit heavy on the calories.

Now, that's no problem in moderation. The thing is though that party food has a particular foible to watch out for:

It will never ever fill you up.

Think about it? We've all been there. We've filled a plate with all the things we shouldn't be eating (possibly 3 or 4 times,) and yet still never feel full. If you eat 5 normal sausages - you'll be really full. You eat 50 cocktail sausages however - and you'll still feel empty inside.

The reason for this is a mystery. I can only guess that there is some kind of chemical in them to keep you chowing down.

Don't be fooled - and keep away from that magic disappearing food!

Rant over.
