Bolivia Takes McDonalds Off The Country's Menu...

It's said that the thirty something thousand McDonald restaurants around the world serve up to three hundred million people a day.
And the average McD serves eight people every minute they're open.
There are many obscene facts and overweight figures and fallacies about the company but let's get back to Bolivia where, as in many other countries, good food is prepared with loving care, attention to health and proper cooking times.
Bolivians relish a food philosophy that includes fresh ingredients and patience.
And the Latin American country has been saying no to McD for years. Finally the fast food giant has had to acknowledge a bottom line that was redder than a very rare steak and taken their junk food elsewhere.
Bolivia unlike many countries who have lost themselves in the fast and convenient world of packaged food-like products, just wasn't prepared to accept the McD culture.
The Bolivian rejection of McDonalds and the country's philosophy that fast food is a very poor substitute for the real thing is a great example for the rest of the world to follow.
But of course they won't...

In India's Mumbai, Food To Go Is A 150 Year Old Tradition...

Every day in Mumbai, four thousand men, all dressed in white, transport more than 175,000 lunches across the teeming city.
Every day, as they have since the 1800's when the British colonialists introduced the system to cater for the workers who inundated the city and brought with them their particular local food preferences, the Dabbawallas collect the lunch containers called Tiffens, of food from wives mothers and grandmothers and deliver them to the hungry workers.
Despite the unsophisticated modes of transport used, the lunches evidently always arrive on time with an error rate of only one in sixteen million deliveries.
There wouldn't be another courier company in the world that could boast that success rate.
Have a look here and see how this fast food system caters for the lunch crowd...

If You Fancy Finger Food...

This Finger Food offering is similar
to Slow Food but only in that it's local.
At this precise moment and probably for a very limited time.
You might enjoy one or both of these little morsels as a light snack or deep fried perhaps as an entree with a salad on the side. And a glass of Pinot Gris.
But you may have to be quick...
