Lunch
Well, actually this has nothing to do with lunch. I just happen to think lunch is a very pleasant thing. So at any rate, below are a few very long, wordy excuses for why I've been a thoroughly unproductive contributor. But maybe now that I've managed to establish a fixed location for myself, I can actually contribute something worthwhile. :)
OK. It's not exactly research, but here's something lunch related at any rate, courtesy of Tom Robbins:
"Lunch. That's what we call it in my country. L-U-N-C-H. Lunch. I'm fond of lunch. I am, in fact, a lunch aficionado. Give me liberty or give me lunch. Breakfast comes around too early in the day, and dinner can interfere with one's plans for the evening, but lunch is right on the money, the only thing it interrupts is work.
"I require lunch on a daily basis. I'm insured against non-lunch by Blue Cross, Blue Shield, and Blue Cheese. Finicky? Not this luncher. I eat the fat, I eat the lean, and I lick the platter clean. Normally, I do shun the flesh of dead animals. Live animals, as well: bestiality is not a part of my colorful repertoire, although that is really none of your buisiness. But, in the dietary arena, pals, I have nothing to hide, and would at this juncture gladly masticate and injest Spam-on-a-stick if you served some up. All I'm asking is that you serve SOMETHING up, and speedily. I become grumpy when denied my noontide repast.
"A hearty lunch is essential for growing bodies. Beyond that, it's a many-splendored thing. Man does not live by deals alone. Lunch is beauty. Lunch is truth. The Ruben-esque beauty of chocolate pudding soaking up cream. The truth embodied in the Brechtian dictum, 'First feed the face.' Butter the bread, boys! Split the elusive pea! Hop to it! Lunch justifies any morning and sedates the worst of afternoons. I would partake. I would partake."
