Wise Bee - just aim for ALL THE CHEESE;- )
Actually, if I didn’t go for the cheese (were there a Z in the month or somesuch) then I would flirt and grovel horribly at the waiter and ask for the rhubarb from the one pud and the gingerbread ice-cream from t’other.
Bracing self for Masterchef. Enjoy yer carnage and hair-dos.

Estimated reading time: 2 minutes, it says. I was gone a lot longer than that. The crab and the sirloin for me, please.

Having pondered more, I would be a total PITA and have the celeriac, and then the rabbit/langoustine, as well as potentially tampering with the pud. Which would then leave room for MOST OF THE CHEESE!
Out upon me, fie upon me, bold-faced jig!

Whereas I might justabout manage most of the sirloin, if I didn’t go mad and try to eat anything else as well. And they can keep the horseradish…
Or I might have the crab risotto, and nothing else.

I would have the wild mushrooms and the salted caramel tart with the rhubarb
Then cheese
I would hope to see home made crackers

Some lovely choices there, Soo
No dessert for me, except that I too would flirt outrageously with the waiter & secure a portion of the rhubarb before the cheese…

Lovely choices, all. But - would you agree to walking the walls of Berwick immediately afterwards?
I thought not

If a bee hovers in a bottle, does the bottle get lighter? (Ans.: put your hand in and find out, sunshine.)

…then it is clearly waiting for its ship to come in.
Hands up who else was fascinated by ships in bottles.

Mr C was bought a ship in a bottle for his 60th Birthday. The ship is glass too.

Meanwhile a bird in a bottle usually means there was some gin stuck at the bottom.
