Quote by Nigel Slater

“Purées of plum or dusky berries float on glass pots of yoghurt; scallops and oysters quiver on the half-shell and platters of sashimi sit on jagged crystals of crushed ice. Slices of boiled bacon with a mustard glaze are arranged in a soldierly line; poached white fish is wantonly sprinkled with spring onions; a mixture of aubergines and minced pork and another of hot and leafy mustard greens bask in chafing dishes next to stainless-steel cauldrons of miso soup. There are wicker baskets of dumplings steaming and a whole table of ingredients--- rice, eggs, greens and soy sauce--- with which to build your own bibimbap.”

Налево ехать – женату быти. Направо ехать – коня потеряти. Дорога за камнем расщепилась натрое. – Хоть бы раз поймать за руку того, кто вот так вот балуется на дорогах, – сказал Жихарь. – Это ведь не то что кусок мела взял и краткое срамное слово начертал для смеху.
