Last Mooli in Paris


Estranged, vacant, gentle (but with a memory of menace), what Marlon Brando portrayed in the wonderful Last Tango in Paris will stay in the memory forever. I started thinking about this movie (even) during the day and remembered the way in which Mr Brando was able to see the multiple uses of butter. It is this kind of sideways thinking that gets you somewhere.

This movie also came to mind because it is set in the very city that perhaps more than most gives us a glimpse of Mooli's future success. While not the same, it is true to say that one of the most popular "on the go" foods in Paris is a warm wrap/roll with a variety of hot fillings. Crepe it up baby.

interestingly, Ernest Hemingway used the term "A Moveable Feast" for the title of his memoirs of life in Paris in the 1920s.

Alas, TAB! Re the butterlube scene, if you had said 'thinking outside the box' rather than 'sideways thinking', you could have had an even filthier pun!
