    - hee, they don't usually serve an entire roll. it's slices. this looks like it might be theirs.. nm but: -- (link) - b. Oct 13, 18:29 [Image] 2
      - otoh, I thought to confirm what the feasts are - definitely shareable. the whole chicken, and the salmon is an entire one. (you do not want pata.) nm - b. Oct 13, 18:35 1

  - He feels a bit...fake (what politician isn't? But still, he feels a little extra fake). (Why am I watching this?) -- nm - ty97 Oct 13, 17:55
  - So far they have all been boring. -- nm - MDH Oct 13, 17:54 3
    - Boring is fine. This isn't supposed to be reality tv entertainment. -- nm - ty97 Oct 13, 17:55 2
      - Agreed, but if a speech is snooze inducing its a problem. -- nm - MDH Oct 13, 17:56 1
