“And I especially despise people who think about it all the time, and these days that includes almost everyone. Except for those thousands of people who’re really hungry, hundreds of thousands, and of course they’re thinking food too. No one should have to think about it. All these people every night, worrying themselves crazy over which fucking restaurant to go to, and then, when they get there, what to eat. What the hell difference does it make? Dover sole or medallions of pork in juniper berries, clams flown from Ipswich, for Christ’s sake, what’s the difference? No difference, it doesn’t matter, it’s only food.”
Fiona’s vis-à-vis at lunch, a thick-necked, bald, owlish man with round rimless glasses, whom she first met about ten minutes ago, looks less startled by this blast than might be expected.

This particular n...ew Fillmore Street restaurant in which he and Fiona have agreed to have lunch is now owned by his chain, and it is, in fact, the same restaurant in which Sage and Noel enacted quite another scene and finally did not have dinner, a few weeks back—a coincidence unknown to anyone present, although Fiona’s tirade has drawn a certain amount of attention, as Noel’s did on that dark and fiercely raining night.MoreLess
