Feast vs banquet
Sunday, 25 December 2011
It’s a long story, but around here, “it’s a feast,” announced at the onset of a group meal, has a complicated history that’s become a bit loaded. We’re trying out substitute vocabulary: banquet.
The noun form works perfectly, but the wrinkle is in the verb—they aren’t as interchangeable.
The photo is at the pre-dessert lag when we all hoped what we’d consumed would compact to make room for…two kinds of pie! With fresh-whipped cream!
