“Ugh I can’t finish all this food”, I said, staring wistfully down at the final slice of pizza and clutching my belly.

“Don’t look at me,” Dan replied, his own plate containing nothing but a few crumbs. “I’ve already eaten more than I should.”

“Alright. I’ll just have to throw it out.”

I stood up, opened the front door, and spun the pizza, like a cheesy discus, into the canal.

A moorhen immediately dived on it, whilst the water began to churn with the movement of fish.

Once, on a clear summer day, we looked over the side of the boat, and saw a mound of fusilli pasta that had accumulated over the years.

Seems like even fish have discerning taste.
