Were school dinners really so bad?
Don’t spend lots of money on quality cooking; just make sure you like the place where you have it. A new report says that the enjoyment of a meal doesn’t depend on what you eat, but where you eat it.
Researches prepared the same meal in ten different locations and asked the people eating it to give it marks out of ten for the taste, texture and appearance of the food. When they served ‘chicken a la king’ in a residential home for the elderly, it got low marks. However, when they served in to customers in a four-star restaurant, the reaction was very different. The customers said it tasted delicious.
‘The results show that in many cases the location is actually much more important than the food’ said Professor John Edwards of Bournemouth University. Edwards and his team took great care to make sure that all meals would be as similar as possible. They used exactly the same kinds of chicken, they stored the dishes in the same kind of plastic bags and served them all with the same type of rice. The meal got the highest marks in every category-taste, texture, appearance-at the restaurant. Interestingly, bottom marks went to the dish when they served it in an army training camp. As one of the soldiers said, ‘It tastes awful and smells disgusting.’

ADVICE FOR UK BUSINESS TRAVELLERS
Giving Gifts.
Japan:
Unlike the UK, gift-giving is very important in Japan and it usually happens at the end of a visit. Pens are a good idea or something not available in Japan. If you give flowers, avoid giving four or nine flowers as these are unlucky numbers.
China:
Chinese people will probably refuse your gift several times, but it is polite to continue offering it to them. Do not give clocks to Chinese people as the Chinese word for ‘clock’ is similar to the word for ‘death’.
Middle East:
Give gifts of highest quality leather, silver, or crystal. Remember to avoid alcohol and leather from pigs.
South America:
Gift-giving is less formal in South America but still an important part of the culture. Avoid leather, as many of the world’s best leather products come from South America.
Australia, Canada, the USA, and Europe:
Gift-giving in these countries is informal and not always expected. However, it is polite to bring someone flowers, chocolate of wine when visiting their house. In some European countries, you should avoid red flowers (associated with romance).
