At a social event recently, despite the sight of a table groaning with the weight of tempting delights that had my taste buds on a roll, I was dissapointed.
As a vegetarian, I usually manage to find something suitable to eat, but it is hard to comfort a rumbling stomach with a salad, dinner rolls and steamed veggies. Oh I agree, it is healthy, but who sticks to healthy when you are out and have such edible delights to be savoured.
So while everyone else filled up their plates and ate heartily, I had to make do with what was available for me.
Throughout the meal the lady sitting next to me kept saying repeatedly,“Oh this is delicious, you don't know what you are missing," and later again "try some meat, it won't hurt."
It was irritating but I didnt feel I needed to justify my actions to a total stranger so I just smiled and said,
“I rather keep the space for dessert!”
Sure enough, I indulged myself, ate those sinfully delicious desserts in gay abandon, within sight of that particular lady who refused any, because she was 'on a diet'.
Had she conveniently forgotten about her diet when she took second helpings of just about everything?
“Oh that's a shame, you don't know what you are missing” I told her, as I slowly gulped down another spoon of the calorie filled chocolate mousse.
If looks could kill, I would have been dead meat, but I couldnt resist - revenge is so sweet.
