Speaking of angsting about inconsequential choices, I booked my flight through the Emirates website. This is what I was confronted with:
This is why I’m no good at shopping. I walk into a store and am overwhelmed by choice. Inevitably, I walk out with nothing. And that’s what happened this time. I chose ‘No preference’.

Unless you have special dietary requirements, I don’t think you could have foreseen, three months in advance, what you’d feel like eating on the day…
(General “you”.)
Hehe… Where’s the ‘HIGH FAT MEAL’? There should be the option of deep friend everything.
I must be growing up. I met some friends at Max Brenner and nothing appealed.
I don’t think liking chocolate is necessarily an age thing. I mean, eating ridiculous amounts of sweets is definitely something people grow out of, but I think good chocolate can be appreciated into old age… 🙂
I am very grateful to Mr Wonka who taught me an important life lesson: who needs love when you have chocolate…
HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
I’d have the asian/vegetarian/oriental/high fibe/low cholesterol/low fat/non-lactose/low purin meal…
That’s just rice and veges yeah?
I don’t actually know what purin is, which is why i don’t want much of it…
HAHAHA!!! I looked up ‘purin’ in Wikipedia and I got a link to… Jigglypuff! Jigglypuff, I see, is one of the original Pokemon.
So Jon, a low purin meal must be one low in Jigglypuff.
Here’s another definition I found on a blog:
purin – noun; a custard-like japanese pudding dessert; can be eaten with various toppings such as cream, caramel, or honey; a versatile delicacy often eaten with almost anything.
From Vietnam Airlines:
Low purin/uric acid meal — This meal avoids foods containing Axit uric (livre, kidney, animal brain). It is ordered by persons suffering from aching and swelling arthritis (mainly toe and finger), kidneystone.
Jiiiiiggglllyyy puuuuufffff 🙂
lol I remember my kids running around screaming that during playtime a little while back 🙂 Hmmm low-purin seems like the go, I’m not a fan of livers/kidneys/brains.
They need a glossary to go along with their meal list 🙂
Purin (pronounced poo-rin) is basically Japanese for a desert like Creme Caramel. I think the word comes from the English word Pudding.
