I will be working in London that day so could, perhaps, stay on in the evening. Life is complicated slightly by the fact that Mike has already scheduled an emergency for Monday 27th.
Perhaps if there is not much availability from others, this might be an opportunity for us to have that dinner I keep suggesting to you?

Could your emergency be sated on the 27th? I sadly need to decline the 21st.

I'll be in France on the 27th. 21st would be the only date possible for me.

There is now a chance I can make the 21st. I'll try and confirm in a week or two.

Derek and I appear to be incapable of appearing at the same tasting unless either the total ages of the wines present exceeds 1000 years or else we are not in the UK; mysterious forces seem to prevent this. Fortunately for Derek in this case I can't make the 21st July, so hopefully he will not receive a sudden summons to a remote Scottish town for the week.

Well, my project has been moved to Sept, so I will be unable to attend
I am anxious to have a portathon as I don't know anyone who fancies port like us in Boston...

When in September? Particularly convenient would be
Wednesday 9th September (if appropriate reply in that thread rather than this).

Something has appeared in my work diary that suggests I might not make this. Leave it with me - things could move around.

Let’s collate. I’ll assemble. Let’s assume that
www.jdawiseman.com/2015/20150515_Boot_a ... u_2014.pdf is still the current menu — an update will be sought.
JDAW:
Chicken liver pâté with toast;
Gammon, egg and chips with black pudding.

this is the latest menu, some minor changes, most notably the sides.

Potted shrimps to start
Grilled scallops and bacon with tiger prawns and spring onion - NO CHILLI PLEASE
Clearly I am turning into a girl and will therefore need to bring some pink port to go with my girly meat-free diet.

Has anyone had either the game pie or the cold meat selection? I am contemplating one of these but my eye is drawn back repeatedly to the steak.

Once, though I can’t find evidence of that in the old food orders. But I recall the game pie being bland.

Bland is no good. Life is a sea of blandness. This oasis of tastiness shall not be infected with the bland. I shall have the steak, black and blue with the Paris thingummy butter. No starter.

The

† Careful checking by somebody would be welcome. On which subject, I have informed the B&F of the spelling error in the menu.

The only error I can see is the missed opportunity to retain the egg in Ian"s order and transfer it to your plate.
