I think I prefer fish, said Gaynor. Kiri explained that she was wrong and that she preferred chicken to fish. Westerners, he explained, preferred chicken. It was well known. Fish was only cheap food for peasants. We would be eating chicken, which was sexy and which we preferred.
Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
The passage is a comic account of one person overruling another's stated taste. Gaynor says fish; Kiri insists she is wrong and really prefers chicken, claiming Westerners favour it, that fish is peasant food, and that chicken is sexy. The dinner order is settled by confident decree.
