When we sat down to dinner at a restaurant in Xlendi, Monique noted an odd correction to the menu:
I have no objection to people eating horses–it’s just peculiar that they subsequently crossed it out. Did they run out of horse? What meat are they using instead?
In related news, Monique has written an exhaustive and illustrated account of her and James’s first week on Gozo. It’s pretty typical of what our guests do. Give it a read if you want to live vicariously through them. You may also want to check out their photo sets.
I hope they did run out of horse meat but I suspect the problem was that it wasn’t beef!
Reminds me of my travels in rural Cuba, where the government-run hotels would always have several different kinds of “Beef-steak” on the menu.
Beefsteak of pork.
Beefsteak of lamb.
Beefsteam unknown….
