Day 24: Take the carnivores to the veggie cafe

We had our Distingiushed Annual Lecture series lecture again on Wednesday, where all my course is strongly encouraged (well, its compulsory really) to turn up. These are usually great lectures, and also offer the opportunity, since they finish around 7.30pm after the speaker has finished getting grilled, to go out for a sociable drink or food.

So, last night we managed to persuasade around 15 of us to go to the vegetarian restuarant opposite King's College - the Rainbow Cafe. I think I mentioned it earlier (vegan cakes wonderful, vegan cheese not so good), and we had a very nice meal indeed, with even the non-veg people feeling happily full. My favourite part though was how a particular person, haven't not realised the restaurant was vegetarian until we arrived and feeling slightly dismayed at that point, then had a meal that he was very impressed with - large and colourful. As long as the food is nice enough, evidence seems to have shown that people don't miss the odd piece of meat. That's my theory.
