The year 2023 should be considered the first complete and normalized post-pandemic year. And while the good figures for 2022 are partly justified by the revenge spending of an overwhelming majority of the population confined in 2020 and 2021, the figures for 2023 cannot have the same underlying explanation.

The other day I remarked to a long-time friend, as she lavished praise at the snack table: “the secret is to make the food a decorative feature”.
