The Marvellous 1901 Food Thread: Fulham Formal Dining Special

[Bob!]

Is this the £135 plus VAT package?

 

[Westdene Seagull]

Vine ripened tomatoes grown by the gods and sprinkled with virgin juice ? Only guessing that based on the likely price - there must be a reason for the high charge.

Good god no. At this price I'd expect Sami's head on a plate.

sorry just seen the picture.....crispy duck leg with leek and potato parcel, steamed cabbage and bisto........and a lion bar

 

[Stat Brother]

That'll be lamb Welsh lamb shank with a port and redcurrant ju.

It'll leave whatever is on the rest of the plate to others.

Not crispy, it's the other thing they do with duck. Right ingredients but it's not a parcel. And no restaurant calls it gravy anymore.

 

[Mr Putdown]

Confit of duck - probably from sodding Gressinghams - with cabbage and some squares of hand picked, hand squared and hand over-cooked potato.

Edit: just seen your gravy point, was it described as a jus?

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

As an aside I'd like to see Meades Ball do some menu writing.

That will be a confit of duck with a red wine jus

You're good at this. Yes, confit of Gressingham Duck.

 

[Rugrat]

Pint of Harveys followed by a Luger shaped (part nibbled) Lamb Chop avec Mush. Couldn't stomach the desert

Priceless

 

[Mr Putdown]

You're good at this. Yes, confit of Gressingham Duck.

So it was described as Gressingham?

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Not jus, it's the other one!

 

[Mr Putdown]

Not jus, it's the other one!

Oh, it was a "reduction" then?

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

So it was described as Gressingham?

Yup. Good work Sir.

 

[Dan Aitch]

The first one looks like a bowl of black tea with Worcester sauce, with a deep-fried finger of fudge.

The second one is a small handgun with bits of brown papier-mâché dolloped onto it.

I can't wait to see the monkey-brain encrusted poppadom.
