Talking about Buddhism here in class. Imagining ancient monks having debate whether eating eggs are considered as killing. You think people can reincarnate into vegetables? If people can be reincarnated into fruit and vegetables, I'd like to be a tomato. Most people like tomatoes, and there are many kinds of tomatoes. You'd be able to use me on a bunch of things: with fries, in your sandwich, in your pasta... And, I'd be the center of attention while everyone debates about whether or not I'm a fruit or vegetable. Also, I wouldn't be some boring vegetable like spinach, where I'd just lie there. I'd be able to roll around. How fun.
Anyway, this is just getting silly, so I'm going to stop.

Now I know why the BELGIAN is FAT
The Fat Belgian (European)
115 John St.
Tel: 416-596-0000
http://www.thefatbelgian.com/
When looking for a movie-dinner, this is a good alternative to the Queen St. joints or the pubs on John Street. A fusion between chic and typical pub, The Fat Belgian gives a warming welcome to its patrons. Raspberry duck is slightly fatter and greasier than expected. The combination of raspberry and red wine does not take away the taste of the duck. Dried cranberries and butter creates a harmony in the side risotto. Fat Belgian Moules arrives in sizable and tasty portions that is well worth the money. Dessert menu, however, fails to spark interest. Service is fast and friendly. Has a moderate Belgian beer selection.
Atmosphere: 3 / 5
Service: 4 / 5
Food: 3 / 5
Price: $65 for 2 (includes drinks, taxes and tips)
Overall: 3.5 / 5
Visit Again: Yes Definitely
