We just got back from a food festival in our local park, where I had curry goat and a half of quite strong cider.
As we were leaving, a line dancing troupe was taking to the bandstand to show off their moves. I reflected that there's something about line dancing that makes me cringe, and then it hit me: line dancing is the whitest form of dancing there is. To me, as a non-expert on dance, there's nothing about it that's wild and free like so many other forms. It's not based in a taboo, or an oppression of any kind. It's just white folks following the rules as a team.
Anyway, the curry goat (with rice and peas) was tremendous, and I've got a two pint jug of the cider in the fridge, chilling just nicely.
