Inspired gastronomic ground: all
things being equal think Bumbles

From page 26

Everything, my little Plum, for
the uptown folk of the ‘90s.
* So what shall it be?

Some gum? No, no, no. This is
notlunch.

How about Chicken Strips
($4.95)? Yes. Good.

And Ushall have a glass of Ren-:
mano Cabernet Sauvignon ($2.95)
with an appetizer portion of -

Prawns Piri Piri ($5.95) followed by

a New York Steak ($10.95).

While the good chef works on
that we shall discuss life and the:
meaning thereof. .

No we won't, you say?
Christmas? And things pink?
Hmmm, well if we must.

What is it you would like for
Christmas? ;

A Barbie?

Good God, girl! that will never
do in the 90s. Barbie is definitely
fess than excellent, not rad and
certainly not awesome, She is sex-
ist, bimboesque, an affront to

- womanhood, probably racist and

who knows what else.
Fun to play with? No, no, no,

“my Plum, this is the ‘90s, correct
. thought before fun, the political

perceptions of your parents before
the simple j joys of childhood.

Artists invited

THE: ASSEMBLY . of. B.C. Arts
Councits invites North Shore artists
and artisans to submit work to the
tenth annual provincial juried art
exhibition, Images & Objects. .

~ jurying for the North Shore Spr-
ing Juried Art.Exhibition, a prelim-
inary show for Images. & Objects,
will be held Feb. 18-28 at the Silk
Purse, 1570 “Argyle. Street, West
Vancouver. All North and West
Vancouver, «Squamish, Whistler

and Bowen Island-area artists are

Think drab, think grey, think all
things equal.
Besides, here is our food.
Prawns Peewee Peewee? That's

. Piri Piri, my Plum. Hot. Lots of red

peppers, garlic and oil, not really
up your alley, but right up mine:
an excellent combination of
seafood and robust spice pres-
ented with three triangles of but-
tered french bread toast.

The steak is also very good, you
must agree. Look: it is a juicy me-
dium rare, topped with a buttery
Searnaise sauce.

Elsewhere on the plate are green
beans, buttered and sprinkled with

fried bacon, sliced carrots, cot-
tage-fried potatoes, also with
bacon, and a stack of sliced pan-
fried mushrooms.

Yucky? Mot at all. A nicely
varied selection.

Yes, yes, your chicken strips
took interesting with their gener-
ous serving of Bumbles’ patented
curly fries and dish of plum sauce.

Rainbow Brite would heartily
approve. Barbie? We must not
think of her or what she might
like. She is frowned upon by those
who take such things seriously.

Let us instead applaud the chef
at Bumbles and the simple joy of

- dining, both thankfully beyond the

dictates of social politics.
