Nowhere in that paragraph is any inkling that it is his definition of “free,” much less an exhaustive definition. In the absence of qualifiers or modifiers, “free food” means I don’t have to pay for it. I doubt that I would have assumed otherwise unless he specifically said “free doesn’t mean you don’t have to pay for it.”
I was going to say cheesecake, but then I closed my eyes and stilled my thoughts and a vision came. Well, I say vision, but it wasn’t visual. It was a taste, a taste that I have been avoiding for a long time because it isn’t good for me.
Cream cheese avocado dip. Ideally, together with Granny Goose Hawaiian Chips. Although if that would make the dip alone bad, then I’ll skip the chips. Mmmmmm. Lovely decadent stuff.
That’s a fair call. Allowing “dim sum” would be like allowing “tapas” in Spanish cuisine, or “hor d’oerves” in French. You’d might as well allow “Chinese menu – chose Column A or Column B”.
