It’s 9:14 am and my mouth is watering…
Mmmmmmm… Steak…..
Excuse me while I gnaw on my arm until noon…
Bad form, Old Bean.
A meal like that deserves a cloth napkin; and shouldn’t the bread be on a separate plate instead of lying on the table?
Matt, it gives me great pleasure to see that you’ve still got an appetite.
Engineer X: First, “Old Bean”? Are you from the mid-west or something? Second, my cloth napkins are missing. A choice had to be made: hold out for cloth and steak or eat steak with paper-towel. Third, I got tired of my french friends razzing me for putting my bread on my plate. It’s a french thing. They put it on the table. Probably not at 3 star restaurants but at home, most definitely.
Of course the bread would go on a separate plate. But absent that the table is better than the main plate. That would be weird to me… Old bean is old fashioned upper class English slang…
Thanks Moom. Leave it to Engineer X to pull out “Old Bean”. I’ve always thought that the Engineer was actually English, disguising himself as an American. He’s too smart!
First of all, thanks to Moom for backing me up. Second, I am English by ancestery; about 97%. The rest is German. Third, the tables in France better be clean. . .
