BEING 29 Feb, today is the traditional day when ladies can propose marriage to their boyfriends - and a UK restaurant chain is hoping they will want to “say it with steak”. The Beefeater Grill is offering a 7 oz Rump Steak branded with the words “Will You Marry Me” (as pictured below) - but it has to be ordered today. A spokesperson for Beefeater said the move was quite logical, given that “the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach”.
AND while we’re on the subject of
nutrition, Fiji’s Castaway Island is
set to launch an innovative new
menu, with one of the key
ingredients being the American
Iguana.
The resort’s Executive Chef,
Lance Seeto, has confirmed that
as well as local food he will create
a menu featuring the reptile,
which is an endemic pest on
some of Fiji’s islands after being
introduced some time ago.
According to the Fiji Times the
tasty iguanas provide plenty of
meat, able to grow up to 1.5
metres in length.
AUTHORITIES in China have
announced a new policy which
softens the previous harsh rhetoric
of the country’s one-child policy.
The government says the
current “nasty” slogans must be
phased out, responding to zealous
local officials who have used such
tag lines as “If you don’t have
your tubes tied, your house will
be demolished”.
Other distasteful slogans to be
outlawed also include the catchy
“we would rather scrape your
womb than allow you to have a
second child”.
