[Anna]

... popping in between the third and fourth courses of lunch
Mercia - maestro, a K please!

Third and fourth courses of lunch Elaborate on the culinary delights if you will as I finish my solitary sandwich!

Well done mercia, what a patient sleuth you are.

[mercia]

I don't think I got that from #6672

sorry guys, didn't want it to be me again

anyone got a cunning K up their sleeve they've been waiting to use?

vinteuil's obviously got a good appetite

[Anna]

I didn't get clue 6672 either mercia. It just brought the Churchill insurance dog to mind, noting else. I am away now until much later in the afternoon and don't have a prepared K to offer.

God almighty, Vinteuil, where were you?! Someone's house???????

You are joking, aren't you??? (I was with Anna, sandwiching...)

PS: and Ofca strolls into the box and slots in an effortless goal

[Anna]

I was just going to ask vinteuil the same question. My initial reaction to his lunch was <swoon emoticon followed by heavy thud ditto> Goodness, do you eat like that every day or do you, perhaps, own a restaurant and if so, what Region of France so we can all descend upon it! (We did enjoy our sandwiches though didn't we?)

Edit: And the wines were ..... ?

[mercia]

what's the washing powder bit, persil truffles?

I bet that all sounds dead common in English

You're probably right mercia, the first dish of peas, spring onions and lettuce doesn't sound so tempting in English does it? Actually, it is delicious.

[mercia]

there ought to be a culinary thread, "Dinners I have known" or something

not that I'd be able to contribute to it

I suppose we shouldn't expect any answers from Vints yet, it's only a quarter past 4 - he's probably not even reached the cheese course yet



(just jealous)

[Angle]

He's probably away with the green fairy right now.
