Tell us about one experience in your pharmacy that was enjoyable.
Why pharmacy and why Western?

What was the most interesting question?

They had a strange critical thinking question: You are writing a book on the history of Portuguese cuisine. You can only interview 2 people out of 3: A professional chef, a Portuguese restaurant owner, or a food critic. Which 2 would you choose and why? And why wouldn't you choose the third?
