As a bit of an antidote to those culinary wizards posting pictures of their perfect soufflés, sumptuous stews (and strange pics by Anonymous Yank), I'd like to hear what's the best free scoff you've managed to liberate from someone else's beanfeast.
Tonight, after a meagre and crappy tea, the old man persuaded me to go to the local for a pint. Imagine my delight when I saw plattters of sandwiches and other stuff laid out, largely untouched. Turns out it was a party of largely Irish clientele, so obviously the drinking took precedence.
I managed to blag several platefuls of delightful egg sandwiches, sausage rolls, spicy nibbles &cetera, and on leaving the establishment there were still monumental piles of food just waiting to be consumed, which would probably go in the bin - criminal really.
So, what's the protocol for descending like a vulture on a buffet to which you've not been invited? How long should you wait until no-one gives a **** any more? And what's your best misappropriation of someone else's food?
