French cuisine is indeed a fine source of gluttony, but I am going to have to throw down on the side of the Germans, beer, brats, braunschweiger, sauerkraut, and more beer. Damn, now I'm going to have to go find me some bratwurst... Brats and Beer...or, brats COOKED in beer, with beer on the side and some kartopfel salat. (Pardon my spelling it's been 10 yrs since I took German in school, and I don't know how to get the punctuations to show up)
On a side note, who on our team has been thrown out of an all-you-can-eat before?
Me, after 48 plates of shrimp, the store closed...(In a contest against the defensive linemen, I played offensive guard in highschool (American rules football btw)...Sizzler cooked an awful lot of shrimp that night...)

Jeeze GK,
I haven't been under 200 since junior high. I wrestled at 205 in High school, and that was after going pure vegetarian to lose weight. Currently in at 280, which is fairly confortable for me (6'5")
Still, the sunday brunch is one of the best buffets in town. But, it's frightening that a local resteraunt has an actual 'Cole's breakfast' on the menu. 2 eggs, 2 sausage, 2 bacon, hash browns, and 4 slices french toast. Sills Cafe, from the days I used to drive truck and stop by each morning I was in town.

And I. When I was in high school, I ate...
bread.
Simply bread, with cheese or ham, or something else on it. That is most common here. People also don't buy the bread and the cheese in a restaurant in school, no, they prepare it at home and take it with them in a box or in a little plastic bag.
There is not even a real restaurant in school, only tables where you can eat at and a small shop, where they sell food and drinks, but that isn't larger than two phone booths.
Sometimes I bought a cheeseburger, but only occasionally.

Non-Industrious - all workers work at half speed because of the 4 large meals eaten every day. Also - workers are required for pollution control duty as far back as ancient times to clean up the ...er... mess made by workers who have over eaten. ("hey - can I have that big chunk there - says Calc as he climbs back up into the tree with his treasure...") |
Yes, but you forgot our other trates....
Amazing feets - when hunger drives a man, amazing things can happen. All units start out as elite. Notible Cheafs (Great Leaders) are known to appear 3 or 4 at a time, often having cook offs or other competitions.
Girth - Because of out amazing girth, and the extraordinary strenght required to move around, all units start with 10 hit points.
Amazing Growth - Due to our culinary excelence, our cities start off with a resturant (grainery). Also, due to people imigrating to our nation to experience the fine food, our population grows two points each time.
Creativity - because we are always experimenting with new ways to cook and prepare different foods, our overall science rate is 3 or 4 times that of any other civ.
Greed and Trading mentality - Although greedy by nature and not wanting to share recipies, in order to transport the raw cooking materials our society has developed a complex system of barter. Our civ suffers a - 1 gpt income per population (the burden of supporting so many mouths) but when dealing with other civs we find their methods of trading so simplistic that we automatically get the best deal possible. Often, other teams give us items for no charge at all due to the masterfull way we trade and barter.
