Fun and Games

A couple from Ho Chi Minh City came this week and wanted to try everything.
And they kept saying "local" which was music to my ears.
They asked if I had heard of Vietnam, then ordered soup, made with locally grown asparagus, she had quiche, he had pork pie ploughmans (having first asked if he could have the pork without the pie) local apple juice and two pieces of cake. A lot of food, I said. No light lunch, she answered.
Half an hour later they sank back in their chairs and exhaled.
Then wrapped the cake up in napkins and took it away with them.
Yesterday we served a young couple from Vancouver.
Last week the Russians came.
Is this the Olympic effect come early?
