Right now I'm in Paris, one of the cities in the webMethods Business Integration Forum tour. During one of the breaks, a tremendous selection of finger-foods was served, including duck-pate bites and chocolate prunes. It might sound odd, but it was delicious! The funniest thing I saw looked more like drug paraphanelia than a piece of food; a bulb filled with grapefruit juice with an extruded plastic straw that pierced through a piece of pineapple and sushi. The idea is that you hold the bulb, put the food on the straw into your mouth, and then squeeze the bulb to get a jolt of juice as you start chewing. What will the French think of next?
tres chic! Thanks for sharing, Graham. I've never seen any appetizer like this before. A question from my colleague... what do you do with the bulbs? Dispose of them or is there a butler waiting to collect them? Just curious.

Hi Julie-Anne, when you finished with the appetizer, you put the bulb into little trays that were scattered around the area, which were then picked up by butlers.
