I’ve never had much affinity with animals. We had some pets at home now and then, guinea pigs and hamsters, a string of goldfish without much of a personality. I was even a WWF Ranger as a kid, albeit briefly, and all I remember of that was a monthly magazine and a couple of trips to the zoo.
And thus today I was a little bummed when I found a tantalising restaurant I had to forsake for the time being because a friend of mine had issues with the foie gras on the menu. Fair enough, if you ask me to choose between a place and people, I will always prioritise the people – after all, that restaurant will still be there tomorrow and delayed gratification brings its own benefits.
