Even though according to most recent research there was no television in the olden days, the days when men were brave and women were beautifull (as in the movie '10.000 BC', in cinema's shortly. Wait for the review)it doesn't stretch the imagination too far to picture cavemen and -women enjoying some diverting entertainment. Like a story told at the campfire, or a particularly exciting series of cave drawings. Who knows? Maybe all those pictures of deer, bears, mammoths et cetera were the equivalent of modern day cartoon network.
Anyway, although most meals are easily exchanged with a healthy cavemen-approved equivalent, there are some area's that require a bit more creative thinking on the part of the would-be-cavemen (and -women). As Cornell wrote some posts back, snacks is one of those area's. And I woud add: pizza. You should know pizza is great when you watch a movie, or if you have guests watching a movie with you, or two or three movies (Which I don't get to do that often, but I did last friday with my younger brother).
So what can you do when you want something to eat with your movie, and you don't want to spend time in the kitchen?
Easy: You make a TV buffet.
We took a cucumber in long strips, cherry tomatoes, snack paprika's, green olives with pesto, slices of servelaat-sausage (salami-esque, see last post), and cubes of gouda cheese. We put it all on the table in some containers, and had our dinner watching 'Pan's Labyrinth'.
mmmmmm ....
Next time I think I will add some kind of a dip to go with the cucumber.
The snacks Cornell described would also go well with this, I think.
