Gastromovies

We went to the English Market in Cork a week ago and looted a lunch out of there in the old-fashioned way - moving from stall to stall tasting a bit of this and being overwhelmed by the smell of that and talking to the stall-holders about what was best.  Very civilised and minimal packaging. Tonight the local Sub-titled Film Society, of which we were knicker-throwing founder members, is showing The 100 Year Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared, the film of the book Hundraåringen som klev ut genom fönstret och försvann by Jonas Jonasson. Really looking forward to this, as always. Last night we were 2/4ths of a team at a Table Quiz to support the local Protestant church and came 2nd after a last minute surge from Table 4. This is clearly the most exciting weekend of our lives since we went out to dine two nights in a row last weekend in Cork. Films? Food? - time to build on the theme and share some tasty short films about good food.  It will make a change from The Blob brim full with my opinions and louche approach to syntax.  If a picture is worth 1000 words, a movie might be worth more?
