Curious Cook: An imagined future of dining

Based on the columnist’s imagined world, it becomes unacceptable to eat beef in public by 2030, which in turn makes beef a precious, highly expensive meat. — MADIE HAMILTON/Unsplash

It is now the year 2035, when the impact of climate change on our planet due to human activities is now inescapable. Despite the extremely challenging times in this future world, my daughter and I have decided to open a restaurant, called Entre Deux Pays, which translates to “Between Two Lands”.

One must recognise that dining out in 2035 is massively different from dining out in the 2020s. For one, since the Beef Riots in recent years, it is now considered unacceptable to be seen eating beef in public, much as smokers were considered extremely undesirable in dining rooms in the past.
