...arrives on Oct. 24. And Spears, for her part, does her best to keep the local press hopping. She throws a party for herself at the Rex Cinema + Bar in Soho, records a session for a TV show called CD:UK, checks out the exclusive Players Club in East Ham, and - if the tabs can be trusted - gets so zonked at the Boujis club in South Kensington she has to be carried out, half-conscious, by her bodyguard and plopped into a waiting car.

Viewing the marinated pork or chicken (shredded to little bits and a veritable festival of unidentifiable components), teriyaki chicken or beef (in slabs and almost painfully boring) and a combination of ham, pate and headcheese (“Originally made entirely from the meaty parts of the head of a pig or calf, but now can include edible parts of the feet, tongue and heart”) introduces a profound dilemma.
