Yum!Tell us / show us / send us the best thing you've ever cooked or had cooked for you. Even if it is a £10 burger.
Or knock yourself out and tell us knock-knock jokes. Just make them funny and about sheds

I used to be editor of a magazine in ChinaMuch of our advertising was from the big hotels. One evening a hotel put on a "media appreciation night". Around thirty of us hacks were shepherded into a foyer, where on three tables carved ice sculptures were surrounded by pots of fois gras, slices of lemon, and shots of quality vodkas; hot waitresses perambulated, offering glasses of champagne. After maybe half an hour of this we were led into the main dining room, where we had a six course meal including birds nest soup, delicate tuna steaks on a bed of rock salt, and impossibly tender wagyu beef, all with finely selected wine pairings. Then there was a raffle, and everybody won something.
Corruption: don't knock it until you've tried it.

There used to be a rumour going around Nanjing,that on the top floor of the best hotel in town there was a brothel where anything went. Apparently, you could fuck a swan, then they'd kill and cook it for you. Personally, I never believed it.

You may like'The Uninvited' by Geling Yan, which is about a poor Chinese man who starts pretending to be a journalist so he can get into all these events in Beijing.

Sadly, The "red envelope" culture, where you get a small bribe for turning up to a press conference is pretty much dying out. Food and drink are where it's at now.
