I went out to tapas once and it was super annoying because the food was so good but it was in like Ethiopian sized portions. I had to stop on the way home to fill my belly.

You're supposed to order like 30 tapas for a table of 4, guys. The whole point is that it's just little tastes so you can try everything instead of just having three or four things on a dinner plate.

It really is pretty funny, especially considering the history...

quote:

Akie Abe, first lady of Japan and wife of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, has spoken English many times in public, fluently, with only the slightest accent.

She chatted, for example, about a shared admiration for star baseball pitcher Daisuke Matsuzaka (then of the Boston Red Sox), at the White House with President George W. Bush and his wife Laura in 2007. She has chatted with Laureen Harper, had cocktails with Sophie Gr�goire Trudeau, spoken to business leaders in New York, and to a Virginia elementary school audience with Michelle Obama

She has even met Donald and Melania Trump a couple of times, earlier this year at Andrews Air Force Base, followed by a weekend at Trump�s Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, where the two men played golf.

Akie Abe, right, wife of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe of Japan, sits next to Donald Trump for dinner at the Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Fla., in February. Al Drago/The New York Times
And yet, last week at the G20 summit in Germany, when the opera performance ended, Trump says she was seated next to him for dinner and simply sat in silence, rather than endure the presidential chit chat.

She appears to have pretended not to speak English, pulling off one of the greatest tricks in the history of dinner diplomacy.

If so, Abe had a plausible reason, as Trump has a long record of disrespectful behaviour toward women, most recently an aggressive handshake and lewd comment about the body of Brigitte Macron, the first lady of France,

Evidence for this shockingly bold but simple gambit comes from the president himself, in an interview with The New York Times.

�So, I was seated next to the wife of Prime Minister Abe, who I think is a terrific guy, and she�s a terrific woman, but doesn�t speak English,� Trump told reporter Maggie Haberman.

�Like, nothing, right? Like zero?� Haberman asked.

�Like, not �hello,�� said Trump.

Haberman said that must have been awkward, and Trump agreed, noting the dinner went well over an hour and a half.

He did have a Japanese interpreter, but indicated he did not make much use of the service, eating an entire banquet without saying a word to the woman seated beside him.

�But I enjoyed the evening with her, and she�s really a lovely woman, and I enjoyed � the whole thing was good,� he said.

I imagine that means she was playing dumb then also, but it wouldn't surprise me that Trump forgot that he'd spoken with her in the past.

Maybe our group did it wrong, I don't know since I haven't been back, but we had 6 people and most plates had 4 tiny pieces of food so we had to decide each time who had to sit this one out. When I am going out to eat, I just want to eat and not have to ration my drat food :colbert:

This is just like Dim Sum. You get two of each plate if you have more then 3 people, and a minimum of 3-4 plates per person in total.

Then you gorge.

Also like dim sum, you leave, go to the bakery next door, and order an extra dozen pork buns and sesame bean paste rolls to take home

I've never had Dim Sum, but that seems like sound advise. Maybe I'll give it another chance.

Proper dim sum is incredible.

You walk into a banquet hall sized room with incredibly gaudy fake chinese stylings everywhere. It's just a cacophony of people scream fighting with each other in cantonese, and are sat down, given not terribly clean utensils, and two pots of tea.

You then just starts pouring tea all over the utensils and table cloth and cleaning everything by hand, while a waiter throws a sheet of paper with a bunch of grids written on it at you, then never interacts with you again. But that doesn't matter because all the other employees are just pushing carts with dozens of plates of food on it around, you look at them confused, and they just scream what protein or vegetable the dish is at you, you point and maybe flash them a 2 if you need multiple plates. They stamp the grid paper and move on.

Then the second any dish gets finished some 13 year old zooms over, grabs the plate and runs away, never interacting with anybody.

The one dish you actually want to eat again will never come by so you just follow the old chinese women who will just rush up on whatever cart they want and start yelling at the servers until they get what they want and just follow their lead.

Then you flag down the guy dressed like a parking valet at an upscale mall, and he tallies it up, then you elbow your way to a register, pay and leave a $2 tip.
