- main: Would be happy to share a medium-rare bone-in ribeye with Mike; otherwise Sirloin medium-rare. Please Bearnaise sauce if possible, and fries.
Port:
- Probably a Cockburn 1967 "Joanna" bottling, unless that's a duplication with anyone else.

Re: Monday 25th July - Bring a Port from 1960–1970
Can anyone print the placemats? Since retiring, I have lost my access to a decent printer.
Julian - first post has been updated with the known bottles. Note change of initials for Tony, who is now TCz so as to distinguish him from Tony Carter.

Re: Monday 25th July - Bring a Port from 1960–1970
Julian - can we incorporate onto the tasting mat or the tasting notes sheet each person's food order? Then each person will know what they ordered and I won't need to shout at everyone to remind them.

+ Carrots for me please.
Please check data (of food as well as Ports and people).
Please comment on design and placement etc, ideally in issue 163.
Done, experimentally, with code injected via PaintForegroundCode, such that each person’s food order is at the bottom of his first TN sheet.Alex Bridgeman wrote: ↑16:31 Mon 18 Jul 2022Julian - can we incorporate onto the tasting mat or the tasting notes sheet each person's food order?

Re: Monday 25th July - Bring a Port from 1960–1970
Such a simple idea… astonishing it has not been thought of before in the hundreds of sittings the placemats have been used for, most with some kind of ‘what did I order??!!’ chaos. Retirement is firing those grey cells together!Alex Bridgeman wrote: ↑16:31 Mon 18 Jul 2022 Julian - can we incorporate onto the tasting mat or the tasting notes sheet each person's food order?

There are 486 events on the placemats list at jdawiseman.com/papers/placemat/placemats_list.html (caution: ≥20 MB of images, so WiFi not mobile data).

And I love the food order inclusion! It looks perfect to allow people to know what they ordered and not to steal my fries from other people.

What are fries? Don't tell me you have two delicious fried potato snacks in England?!?

Re: Monday 25th July - Bring a Port from 1960–1970
All fried-potato food is delicious. It’s extra delicious if fried in bacon fat, but even without that, is still delicious.
Re: Monday 25th July - Bring a Port from 1960–1970
I agree, and as an Irish Scot it would be blasphemous not to. But I really do agree.
