THRA usually has soup, fillet steak (medium) and prefers new potatoes to fries. IIRC.jdaw1 wrote:Only THRA hasn’t specified food. What does he usually have?WPS, by email, wrote:Duck liver pate

Hmmm. Can I please change my steak from medium-rare to rare.jdaw1 wrote:Please check that your order is as you want it.
Thank you. Sauce with steak? And there aren’t new potatoes on the menu — help!AHB wrote:THRA usually has soup, fillet steak (medium) and prefers new potatoes to fries. IIRC.
Yes.flash_uk wrote:Can I please change my steak from medium-rare to rare.
No sauce. Request new potatoes and if not available accept triple cooked fries.jdaw1 wrote:Thank you. Sauce with steak? And there aren’t new potatoes on the menu — help!AHB wrote:THRA usually has soup, fillet steak (medium) and prefers new potatoes to fries. IIRC.
Yes, but on the day. (That file has been submitted.)AHB wrote:Please could I also order some salted marcona almonds? Enough for all if all would like some.
They will remind me of warm sunny days, on a terrace overlooking a river.
Proposed decanting times are:jdaw1 wrote:I was thinking of decanting at home, circa 09:30, the RP97, RP94 and RPE94. Tom will doubtless bring decanted the RP91 and RP80. His RP24 will happen last moment, with the RP09 and RP31.flash_uk wrote:What time had you in mind?
That leaves 1960, 1964, 1970, 1982, 1983 […] and 1985. I can decant those six[…] alone, but will want help with pre-18:00 pre-pouring of nine[…] (i.e., all except ’91, ’80, ’31, ’24, ’09). So I arrive 3pm, you a mite before 4pm? Does that seem sensible?
Comment, anybody?
I would not have a problem with the times as stated, though if it were practicable I would probably push back the 13:00 to ~11:00 and the 15:00 to 13:00.jdaw1 wrote:Proposed decanting times are:
• ≈ 09:30 for RP97, RP94 and RPE94;
• ≈ 13:00 for RP85, RP83, RP82 (if the RP83 seems good I’ll leave the spare ’83 at home, if not the spare will be decanted);
• ≥ 15:00 for RP70, RP64 and RP60 (in that order).
• ≈ 18:00 for RP31, RP24, RP09.
• Whenever Tom does them for RP91 and RP80.
Comment, anybody?
I can bring a couple of CndP.RAYC wrote:Is there any current plan for red wine over dinner? If not, should there be (rather than ordering at greater expense from the list on the day)?

Just noticed that my request for triple-cooked chips (rather than fries) looks to have been missed off on your pdf of orders, if there is still the opportunity to correct it.jdaw1 wrote:Please check that your order is as you want it.
I wish JDAW was our representative at the UN. He has skills of diplomacy, gentle circumlocution and reservoirs of tact that many could learn from.jdaw1 wrote:Thank you for modifying the order sent to Woolgate in Friday. Pay attention!
We'll cope on site.
The seven I have so far decanted (above and RP64) all seem very promising.Axel P wrote:Any weird noses or tastes yet?
