We Have Plenty Of Time.

I wonder whether the “fork luncheon” will become popular in New Zealand? Two items on the menu, grilled bacon on fried bread, spread with peanut butter, and sweet corn and tiny sausages served in buttered rice, give an idea of the snack nature of the meal.

“If you absolutely can't fit in my cocktail party on Wednesday, my dear, do drop in to a fork luncheon on Monday of next week. Everybody'll be there. As busy as that? But I'm sure, just for twenty minutes on your way to the dressmaker!”

Can't you imagine it? What a life! No, I don't think fork luncheons will become popular here, except as a novelty—we're all too fond of a sensible, sit-down meal. Anyway, highly-flavoured tit-bits haven't the approval of our doctor.
