A sudden emergency in London, predicted for 21 July 2015

[DRT]

Something has appeared in my work diary that suggests I might not make this. Leave it with me - things could move around.

Green Room booked.

Were you thinking of collating a dinner pre-order, or is the intention to go with the flow on the day?

Let’s collate. I’ll assemble. Let’s assume that www.jdawiseman.com/2015/20150515_Boot_a ... u_2014.pdf is still the current menu — an update will be sought.

JDAW:
Chicken liver pâté with toast;
Gammon, egg and chips with black pudding.

[flash_uk]

For me thanks:
Potted shrimps
Chargrilled sirloin steak 220g (Rare, no sauce)
Buttered carrots

[flash_uk]

I think this is the latest menu, some minor changes, most notably the sides.

[Alex Bridgeman]

Potted shrimps to start
Grilled scallops and bacon with tiger prawns and spring onion - NO CHILLI PLEASE

Clearly I am turning into a girl and will therefore need to bring some pink port to go with my girly meat-free diet.

[CPR 1]

Potted shrimps
Chargrilled sirloin steak 220g (black and blue)
Creamed Spinach

Thanks

[jdaw1]

I’ve telephoned, and the menu has just changed. Latest at www.jdawiseman.com/2015/20150714_BootFl ... 201507.pdf.

[flash_uk]

In that case I'll change the buttered carrots to Peas and beans with mint lemon and butter.

[jdaw1]

Mike: no buttered carrots on July 2015 menu. Alternative?

Edit: draft food order.

[idj123]

Potted Shrimps

Gammon, chips and black pudding (no egg)
side dish of the peas and beans

Dessert (TBD on the night)

Thanks

Has anyone had either the game pie or the cold meat selection? I am contemplating one of these but my eye is drawn back repeatedly to the steak.

[jdaw1]

Has anyone had either the game pie

Once, though I can’t find evidence of that in the old food orders. But I recall the game pie being bland.

[djewesbury]

Bland is no good. Life is a sea of blandness. This oasis of tastiness shall not be infected with the bland. I shall have the steak, black and blue with the Paris thingummy butter. No starter.

[jdaw1]

The food order seems to be complete^†. On Thursday it will be conveyed to the hostelry.

† Careful checking by somebody would be welcome. On which subject, I have informed the B&F of the spelling error in the menu.

Oh good. It upset me to see it.

The only error I can see is the missed opportunity to retain the egg in Ian"s order and transfer it to your plate.

Yes, although they gave me additional Black Pudding last time to compensate me for my lack of oeuf !

Fixed.

At the correct moment tilt your head to one side and look handsomely forlorn.

Gents, this work appointment is not going to go away. Sorry, I will be unable to join you on Tuesday

[jdaw1]

Shoo! Shoo shoo shoo! Go away unwanted work appointment!

Fixed.

This is disgraceful behaviour by work. Down with work. More port for us.

[flash_uk]

My chosen bottle is standing and awaiting decanting first thing in the morning.

I will print the placemats (as glasses pages are on US Legal = 8½″×14″).

A disgraceful slur. Derek'll 'ave you for that, except he won't be there. Neither will I. Bugger.
