Cheap and Cheerful

Will and I decided to have a picnic on Saturday, which we both agree would be a cool idea.
Some french bread, some french cheese, a few bits and pieces. Something cheap and cheerful.

So there we are walking down the street, minding our own business, when we see a ham shop claiming to sell the best ham in the world. That's a pretty ambitious claim, but we thought, why not...
We go in and ask for a little bit of ham, go through the ceremony of less, even less than that, about half of that one, and end up with a pretty tiny heap of the world's best ham.
Which ends up costing us 17 Euros.
So just consider yourselves warned- world's best ham comes at a price. Two hundred and sixty Euros a kilo to be exact. That's about $500 Aussie Dollars a kilo. Maybe $250 US a lb.
We continued to buy what could quite possible be the world's yummiest, and freshest bread, one of the world's most mature cheeses, a couple of the world's richest cupcakes. And a couple of the world's top artery blocking pates.
And then we had it all on the stairs of the French Academy, by the river.
Was really good, and quite cheerful, although the cheap bit we failed on dismally.


PS. When we finished we threw all the leftovers in the bin, together with my brand new, never-been-used-before picnic knife. Arggggghhhhhhhh
