What passes for cookery in England is an abomination.....It is putting cabbages in water. It is roasting meat till it is like leather. It is cutting off delicious skins of vegetables.....A whole French family could live on what an English cook throws away.”
Virginia Woolf, 'To the Lighthouse' (1927)
Go to the party; look the host straight in the eye and tell him you are Chinese and produce Moo Goo Gai Pan from the take out place.
