Many years ago, I was on a training course, all typical engineers, and the guy who had organized it, a foodie, had ordered the day's spread from a very expensive and fancy catering place. Skeptical engineers eyeing the spread, which included such things as "cold orange soup"; one of them said "I should have brought my rabbit".

The message was clearly received. Next day and subsequent ones, an equally high quality spread of actual engineer food was tabled. But with no rabbit to eat it up, I think a lot of the first day's spread was wasted.

This was during the pre-2K tech boom years (this dates me!) Really fancy catering at (my) work is a distant memory now.

Man this might be unfair of me but I find that “rabbit food” attitude intolerably childish. Why the fuck should ‘cold’ or ‘orange’ or ‘soup’ be disqualifying attributes as far as a succulent meal goes - ignorance of toasted carrot ginger soup is the only thing I can think of, and I have so very little patience for ignorance of food.

Stop being a baby and put it in your mouth already for chrissake. You might learn something.
