Frankly, if I find you observing my eating habits I'll probably feel like
I'm being stalked Of course I taste the potato, the asparagus, the
broccoli. But if it comes down to I'm going to get full I'll eat the steak
or the lobster first. Of course I don't fill up on bread before the meal,
either, despite the fact that one of my favourite restaurants serves a
really nice brown bread with butter.
