My guess is, with a very long straw - due to the sprint the food's probably still at the start line? :doh:

I was indeed thinking about 2001 A Space Odissey: on the shuttle to the moon the food they sereved had to be of a sticky kind, otherwhise it would have flown around.
On that table-car food will definitely tend to fly away :beaten:

EDIT: maybe I should have posted this on the food thread :rofl:

Eric Clapton was at your brother's house!! :shocked: Hope you got his autograph!!

Don't have that practice here. But some countries in Latin America do and it is pretty nice to walk around without the threat of getting run over.
