Seasonal Downturns - at least there's storage

Tonight’s menu:

Entrée
Doldrums Kebabs
A collection of miscellaneous bruised
vegetables fresh from long-term
winter storage bins, served on a bed of
slow-cooked two-year-old rice with a
fluff of wool scraped off the kitchen boy’s gloves.

Main
Knuckle Sandwich
The remaining cuts of meat from the
back of the freezer served on stale
focaccia with a soggy salad of squashed
lettuce and pulverised but intact tomatoes.

Fried Green Potatoes
Served with a surprise dusting of
uncooked rice and miniscule amounts of salt
from the leftovers in our salt shakers.

Dessert
Tawdry Desperado Mousse
Individual servings of chocolate mouse
decanted from their (stolen) KFC containers,
tantalisingly arrayed in hastily-spooned chunks
on a paper plate.

The Desperate Food Thieves Catering Company Pty. Ltd.
“Where your food is really ours”.

Patrons are advised that due to the seasonal variations in supply our cupboard is largely bare. We apologise for any inconvenience caused and request patience until Spring has sprung; by which time we may be able to provide a greater variety of foodstuffs from our supplier’s theft team(s). We wish all of our patrons well at this, the seasonal downturn at the end of winter, and would like to thank all who attended the production “The Cafeteria of the Mind”. We also greatly appreciate the (two) theatregoers who did not avail themselves of our diversion service in order to avoid paying for their tickets.
