WHAT THE RIVER DOESN'T RETURN

WHAT CAME FIRST

THE EGG OR THE CHICKEN

OR THE HUNGER BEFORE THE SNACK

OR THE QUESTION BEFORE THE HUNGER?

ONE SNACK THREE SNACKS

THE SNACK TRILOGY

THAT NEVER QUITE BEGINS

OVERTURE: NO ONE ANSWERS EVERYONE EATS

OH! THE HAKE DOESN'T KNOW IT'S CONFIT

BEET BEET BEET

(NO ONE ASKED FOR AN EXPLANATION)

BITTER SWEET BITTER SWEET BI—

THE MENDOZA RIVER SMELLS OF COFFEE

THE HAKE FLOATS

CONFIT?

CONFIT.

HERE IT COMES NOT YET

HERE COMES THE SPOON!

SAID THE PRAWN

WHICH WASN'T COMING EITHER

MEUNIÈRE, SAID NO ONE

SATAY, SAID THE WIND

FOAM, SAID PARIS

CHIPÁ AMONG MUSHROOMS

MUSHROOMS AMONG CHIPÁ

THE CENTAUR WATCHES

THE CENTAUR CHEWS

THE CENTAUR DOESN'T EXIST

BUT EATS PARSLEY

YES LEMONS YES LEMONS YES TROUT

THE CELERY SAID NOTHING

THE TROUT SWAM ALONE IN THE YOGURT

ON ITS WAY TO THE BASIL THAT WAS ALREADY GONE

LOOK AT LITTLE PEACH

PEACH THAT WAS

AMARETTO THAT WILL COME

BLACK OLIVE

THAT SIMPLY IS

THAT DOESN'T MATCH

THAT DOES MATCH

THAT IS THE END

THAT IS THE BEGINNING

THAT IS THE SAME QUESTION

OF THE EGG AND THE CHICKEN

BUT WITH A PIT

END

(OR OPENING)

(OVERTURE)

HERE IT ENDS

OR HERE IT BEGINS

(THE MENU DOESN'T DISTINGUISH)
