That'a great if you like that sort of thing but thank God menus have moved on since then.

I can still remember the painful embarrassment of it. I suspect I would have had soup and maybe the roast chicken. Its such a dull menu isn't it.”

I remember the Mitre, although there were a few other similar ones around

I used to have tomato soup, rump steak well done, black forest gateau.
I last had Blue Nun Liebfraumilche about 20 years ago. I was in the Al Bustan in Oman having a meal with my German manager and he insisted on it as the only German wine on the list.

That reminds me when I had been to a two day conference to Dundee on vegetarian food for Students at University, and of course the meals had been all vegetarian, on alighting from the train in Birmingham there was a Berni Inn situated above New St Station, I was just dying to eat some meat, so went into Berni and had their biggest steak.....it felt as though it was the best steak ever!!!

Better than a 'date' meal I had just 3 years back. He cooked it himself. There was cold cooked potato and some sort of spam and the piece de resistance was a boil in the tin sponge with tinned custard.

Did they do melon balls in port too, I can't remember if they did or not.

Anyone know when they had a tie-in with Tom and Jerry? I remember the Cherry Coke had some Tom and Jerry themed tat put around the glass.
