Ike, naturally we’d have to adapt the foodstuffs for the varying regions — some people consider wine not to be the elixir it actually is in more Latin-style countries, egs. French, Spanish, Portuguese. For some of these Central Europeans — hand ‘em a frankfurter and a mug ‘o beer, and they’re happier than a swine ‘n swill. But I dig the inventiveness — yet another example of humanity’s “unlimited resource” — the power of the mind.

Thanks Adam… I know it wasn’t completely ‘culture-neutral’, but the 5,000 for fish and 12 for wine was a biblical reference.

Who else would have let Himself be seen first by Mary of Magdela, “a woman”, who spread the word to everyone that He is risen from the dead.
