Let's settle this like men


1st February 2010


Another frozen day at the dojo: stiff shoulders, numb hands and breath puffing out white.

But around 7pm, two cheesecakes appeared. They were ceremoniously sliced and everyone was invited to help themselves.

There was a catch though: you couldn't just take a slice from one of the cakes; you had to eat both.

Two boys from the dojo had each baked a cake and after eating, you had to say which you thought was better.

This is the Way of the Warrior - sometimes, you face down your opponent with a sword. Sometimes, with a bow. And sometimes, with cream cheese, double cream, sugar, crushed biscuits and yoghurt.

Of course, some would say that the only opponent you face is yourself but the main thing is to keep the cake coming.
