Cloud bursting
... we had dinner included which was a buffet, including a charming gent with a brilliant chefs hat cooking up fresh pasta on request. It might have just been the volume of food we ate but I actually suspect places like this sprinkle a bloating power over portions of the bain-marie, to ensure minimal consumption.
