An Exercise in Style - The Bitsnbobs October 2016 Mini-Series (Gustatory).

Exercise in style 23

Queneau - French bloke, wrote a book, inspired me. I've explained it all here.

Day 23 Gustatory.

The night tasted like no other.

For starters - a chilled soup with something minty – inappropriate for the occasion.

Following that – the crisp crunch of an iceberg lettuce and a first sip of chilled Chablis.

The man licked his lips.

The anticipation of the main course set his pulse racing.

Would it be spicy?

Or, something traditional?

The roses he had picked were fresh, no dressing and served with no accompaniment.

The leftovers stayed where he fell.

There was no dessert.

Just a bitter after taste.
