Lunchtime

My colleagues and I eat out once a week at a neighbourhood restaurant.

I've come to conclude that if you dine with someone who grew up in a small, coastal fishing village, invariably, the fish served at any restaurant outside of that village will be pathetic/bony/runt-y in comparison with the gigantic/meaty/delicious fish that are caught/served in that village. Especially compared with the gigantic fish dad/grandad used to catch.

Also, you will come to question your own alcohol tolerance, which cuts you off at ~5 beers per night, while people from the fishing village normally drink 30-40 beers a night.
