"Just two days ago, Gordon Brown was urging us all to stop wasting food and combat rising prices and a global shortage of provisions. But yesterday the Prime Minister and other world leaders sat down to an 18-course gastronomic extravaganza at a G8 summit in Japan, which is focusing on the food crisis. The dinner, and a six-course lunch, at the summit of leading industrialised nations on the island of Hokkaido, included delicacies such as caviar, milkfed lamb, sea urchin and tuna, with champagne and wines flown in from Europe and the U.S." - Jason Wehmhoener via Bookmarklet
Well, to be fair, the boiled prawn with tosazu vinegar jelly was a little overdone. - Mark Trapp
Hokkaido = culinary HEAVEN - Mona N.

Please tell me the doggie bags were air lifted to those in need. No seriously, these people give the human race a bad name. - Mark Krynsky
The doggie bags were non-biodegradable plastic and Styrofoam containers for the warm dishes... I'm guessing they didn't carpool either. Have you seen the HOV lane to Hokkaido? Shambles really. - Kelly McNiece
hey, give those sad wealthy people a break, lots of talking and not doing much is hungry work! - Ňicķ
