Sometimes my British humour doesn't work too well, this was only meant to be a tongue in cheek remark. Whilst I have a personal dislike of people who use the lounge to create an evening meal, it is entirely your choice - as you say, you have paid for the room/lounge access so why not enjoy it... The lounges I was thinking of aren't near the best in the Marriott chain and are stingy with regards to refills, they may not run out of food completely but will not refill the food until every last scrap has been scraped away (Europe only, certainly doesn't apply to Asia/South America). However this is very much off topic so lets not continue the discussion here, hopefully didn't offend anyone too much and apologies if I did.
