A few years ago, Gary and I went with a group of friends (12-14) to Mexico. We had a great time. Lots of beach-side fun. One afternoon we went to the lunch buffet. There were so many of us, we took up an entire side of the restaurant.
As I was in line, plate in hand, I spied a ham hanging from twine in the middle of the buffet table. Across from me was my friend, Betty. I asked her to hold the ham so I could cut a slice. We worked on that ham for several minutes before a short local ran up to me and said, “no lady, no lady; that decoration!” We both looked at each other in shock! Betty and I sure hurried back to our seats, and had a big laugh (and a few more drinks!) Still don’t understand why they would put “fake” food out at a buffet. So confusing! ha
