London Ninja

I was out with some colleagues at a pub and being the American, I ask why people generally don’t get food at the pub after work. No buffalo wings. No nachos. No nada. Once or twice some peanuts get passed around. What this generally means is that you are going to feel the full extent of that Bombardier.

“Eating is cheating”, my friend said.
“Uh, what”?
“Yeah, eating is cheating.”

Apparently because pubs in London close so early (11pm on weeknights) that there is no time to eat and then get your drink on. The Brits have figured out that the best way to get the full effects of alcohol is to…not eat. That’s right..no jalapeno poppers, no chips (frites in France), nada. You just drink your Krononberg 1664 and be happy. No dinner. No eating. No cheating. So be it.
