    Supermarket Hot Meat

    The best thing is to combine it with one of their microwaveable bags of mixed veg. An instant respectable meal that can charm the pants off Pot Noodle.

    That’s quite shocking indeed, but this evening I’ll go to my favourite restaurant in Haarlem and eat some game terrine and then grilled duck breast with port sauce. There might be a recession on, but one mustn’t let standards drop, you know.

    That’s a fair description, but things have improved lately, just that office canteens seem to be stuck in the 70s. However, I have the rare condition of liking sauerkraut, which puts me at an advantage in any Germanic culture.

    No, cook it in the evening and warm it up in the office microwave. You could even take it with you in a thermos flask.
