Is there something fundamentally, ethically … wrong about a meal so Pantagruelian in its ambition and proportions? Other than the "people are starving in Africa" argument, and the "250,000 people lost their jobs in America last month alone" argument, there's the fact that they must necessarily trim off about 80 percent of the fish or bird to serve that perfectly oblong little nugget of deliciousness on the plate. There's the unavoidable observation that it's simply more food and alcohol than the human body is designed to handle. That you will, after even the best of times, the most wonderful of such meals, need to flop onto your bed, stomach roiling with reflux, the beginnings of a truly awful hangover forming in your skull, farting and belching like a medieval friar.
