Come dine with me!

Counting ribs

"The menu just says fried fish, but may I give you a more compelling, surprisingly lyrical description?"

'Sparky, fetch me an impudent little chardonnay.'

'Sorry sir, we've run out of parmesan cheese.'

"You'll love this. It's swarthy yet munificent, didactic and gregarious with hints of dogma."

"The chef is going to need more than just your ‘compliments’ tonight … he’s in one of his moods."

'This might be the common ground we've been looking for.'

"Will you have a Sphinx?"

'This is one of our most recent vintages!'

La Table

"Yo, Cézanne, paint faster. I need those grapes for the Madeira sauce."

Restaurant Francais: All you can pronounce £30.

'The heart and eyes feel nothing, but the stomach and ears are completely infatuated.'

View to the Future

-'but for a full English breakfast you can't beat Blackpool,sir.'

"And I'm teaming that burned sausage up with a warm, flat local lager."

Try to guess the continent dining...

"I just finished your manuscript and I found the ending delicious."

"You say your crème needs more Brulée?"

"Vindaloo hot enough?"

"Oh, look- French! Let's try it."

"I feel like we are the polyester of dairy products."

It turns out they don't go together so well,

'Waiter...my entrée fell over.'

'Now that's what I call a kebab... a skewer with whole pies!'

'I think I'll go home and eat'

Important Food Groups

'Perhaps sir would like the dessert menu?'

"I read somewhere that truffles are a gateway fungus."

"I've never heard of it, either, but nothing ventured, nothing gained, I always say!"

"Everything taste so divinely artisanal."

"Waiter, there's a weapon of mass destruction in my soup!"
