Awesome dude! I would want to down the vegetable soup first before the BBQ duck. The soup would open up my appetite for the main course, just like a salad. However, I know that some places the salad is the last part of the meal. Great job!

I really like this and "Crunch" indeed... my wallet couldn't handle that... LOL! I like the double Epulaeryu here. I have never seen it done that way but of course, you have it covered wonderfully. Thanks for the smile.
