Dear Jacky Bowes
Thank you for your letter of 23rd April.
I suppose on reflection that, as you have intimated,
the Beef Dinner must have been served up to me upside down. This would not come
as a surprise to you, nor would the fact that it is apparently the first time
it has ever happened despite your selling 250,000 units annually, if you had
been exposed to the culinary expertise of my wife for any length of time. We
are talking here of a woman who once roasted an undrawn chicken. She had also
contrived to stuff the fowl with sage and onion stuffing, though don't ask me
how. I am quite confident that without too much effort she could burn water.
I hope for your sake that you have been luckier than me in your choice of wife,
Jacky, although I doubt it, because in my experience the only time that women know
what they're doing is when they're on the lavatory.
With your vouchers I tried Aunt Bessie's Toad In The Hole,
taking the precaution of heating it up myself. It was very
nice, although I would have preferred a little more Toad
and a bit less Hole. Your portion control manager didn't
used to work for Batchelors, did he?
Yours faithfully  |
