Wolfgang: please order.

Hello,

I would like to have Duck liver parfait with toast as starter and Chargrilled sirloin steak 220g (medium rare) with hand cut chips and grilled tomato.

regards

WS1

[DRT]

Yes. And a scallops and bacon (usually available as a main) starter option would be good.

Was this asked for?

If so and if met with a positive response I will have scallops and bacon followed by sirloin steak (medium-rare) with skinny chips (preferred) or big fat chips (more likely).

If scallops not available I will have the parfait to start, please.

[djewesbury]

Smoked salmon

Black and blue sirloin. Chips, no tomato.

Ta.

Only if it English bottled please. There is a theme for the second half of the tasting!

[Alex Bridgeman]

Please could I have smoked salmon to start followed by a main of grilled sirloin (medium rare) with chips (skinny preferred but hand cut acceptable) and tomato with an extra side order of caramelised onion gravy.

Thank you.

[DRT]

sirloin (medium rare)

Not black and blue? Are you on a diet?

Not on a diet. Never been disappointed with the way a medium rare steak has been cooked at B&F but often with the black and blue.

Oops: I just copied b&b across for Alex, unthinkingly. Fixed.

Oh all right then. We'll make this a tasting in three halves.

Potted shrimps followed by sirloin steak (black and blue) with hand-cut chips and grilled tomato and a side of spinach

Hi,
Please could I have the Duck liver parfait with toast as starter and the chicken supreme as main with a side of creamed spinach. Thank you

[jdaw1]

chicken supreme

No “chicken supreme” on menu. You have been ordered “Grilled free-range chicken breast with slow braised chorizo and red peppers”.

I have been outvoted by the attendees (at least all of those called Phil). We will be having a third flight of ports on June 15th, the third flight being 1937 colheitas.

Hi
sorry for the delay - food order
- Goats cheese salad
- Steak medium rare.

I notice that I am down to bring a F63 from the same pipe as yours. I can do this or if you want some more variety for the second half - I can substitute this with a Butler Nephew 55.

Let me know

Cheers

Tony

Awaiting organiser's judgement (AHB), but you might like to preempt by answering his perhaps likely response of "Is it English Bottled?"

I'm assuming the BN55 will be English bottled, in which case please bring that. I think we'll have had our fill of F63!

JDAW - could you send the food order to the B&F please?
