Two words jump out: "Mock" and "Eel". Please tell me more!
And do you require me to leave a tip? For the girls?
It's a shaped pork dish. Quite nasty really.
What are Runner Beans Hong Kong? And what wines are you serving (dare I ask).
Mushroom Pie - mmm lovely.
Sweet and Sour runner beans of course!
Wines are few really, some Liebfraumilch, some Hock, a Claret. We're not known for our extensive wine list.
I'll be having...
Starters - Norwegian Shrimp Cocktail
Main - Swiss Steak
Side - Chips, French-Style
Desert - Cherries Jubilee
Follwed with Irish Coffee
Drinks - I'll have a glass of wine from (can't remember the name but in a squat shaped bottle with a picture of Venice on the label)
It looks kinda Australian.
I like the look of that Canadian Roll.
It pisses on the Welsh Wok.
I'll have cheese and broccoli soufflé please (slightly sunken), followed by the marrow and eggs (in no other decade did this constitute a dish).
Do you have any Mateus Rosé? On second thoughts, maybe I'll go wild and have a Snowball.
Snowballs and Mateus Rose all available. Was that the one with the pic of Venice on it, PM? Perhaps a Gin & It instead Kitten?
Can I have a Dubonnet and lemonade whilst I'm perusing?
I think that PM may be confusing the shape of the Mateus Rose bottle (which has a picture of a Portuguese villa on it) with the Italian scenes generally found on those bottles of Chianti that come in the raffia holder. Now, those were classy.
Make mine a fluffy duck, then I'll be heading straight for the desserts. Can I have more than one?
BTW, if you haven't already been there, I think you might like Oslo Court - http://www.london-eating.co.uk/2357.htm In fact, I think you might well have stolen their menu.
I have indeed been to Oslo Court. What I remember most about it is the smell of old people. The food was shocking.
Well, this is marvellous. Look, isn't that Ian Ogilvy at the next table, sipping an Irish coffee?
Possibly, though I definitely saw Anouska Hempel tucking into a lime chiffon cream.
I don't want anything foreign. It gives me wind. I'll have the Parsnip Fritters, then the Lamb's Heart Pudding with cauliflower cheese, swede mash and Brussels sprouts ('are they foreign?' 'No they're from Lincolnshire'. 'Foreign enough then, ha ha'.)
Can I have a large Brandy and Soda and a Castella while I'm waiting?
Is that Matt Monro on the eight track? And is that Jim Dale over there - my father knows him, you know. I might go over.
