Little food with unreasonable price and not exceptionally nice (maybe except the drink).

It seems like something that would be on their menu just as filler, for folks who don't want to eat anything they are actually good at. I'm super amused at your comment about Asians and pate, though! I read it to my husband and he said probably only Vietnamese would eat pate (you know cuz of the French colonization). I think I heard something on NPR about bon appetit being vulgar. i think it had something to do with it being like a cliche, or like something americans say thinking the french do but the french really don’t. something like that.

I had read about the bon appetit thing from that NY Times article and then this BBC one: <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/programmes/from_our_own_correspondent/6205403.stm" rel="nofollow">http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/programmes/from_our_own_correspondent/6205403.stm</a> ach. so many different table manners to learn. like the korean eating rice with a spoon. iportion, thanks for posting that board!

The damage looked painful, though.
