His food was exquisite.

Sitting at the bar one night after dinner, I asked what the stuff in the bottles on the shelves was. Looked like some sort of herbs or strange vegetables.

He didn't say what they were, but did say he wouldn't serve them because they could be poisonous to us Westerners.

I still don't know if he was joking.
