So I was watching the BBC's breakfast news this morning and there was a story on school caterers complaining that new nutritional standards were not going to allow them to offer students enough choice. The way the guy being interviewed was talking I assumed children would be faced with just one set meal with no choice at all. But then he said "We'll only be able to offer two or three choices of meal". Like this was the end of the world.

In fact I get suspicious of restaurants that offer 20 or 30 different choices - I tend to think there can't be much actual cooking going on there, more defrosting. I love those places that do two or three things but do them well.
