Since food descriptions are a key contribution here, may I table a motion outlawing restaurants from using oral garnish and..... well, utter bollocks on menus please. For example;

A roulade of quaill's egg sat atop a symphony of celiaric.

Pan-fied. As opposed to being fried in a what, exactly? (See also 'Oven Baked'.)

Goujons of

Carpaccio of

Confit of

Medley of

Wholesome, Wholemeal, and wholegrain.

Jus

Oh, and another think. "Enjoy"? I think you'll find that it's me handing out the orders here, matey boy!

Reminds me of a ridiculous Canadian waiter in quite a smart restaurant in Whistler who asked me if I'd finished my meal by saying: "Have you finished enjoying, sir?"

My goodness me he was a cock.

Not forgetting that other waiter-speak irritant, 'What can I get you guys?', when one or more of the diners are female. This is usually followed by them sodding off for half an hour after you say, 'Can you give us a couple of minutes?'

I bet that results in an early day motion.

I've just encountered a new waiter wonderstroke. The wife wanted a glass of medium sweet white wine. I asked our dashing Spanish gigolo in a waistcoat for "vino blanco media dulce", something I've been using for twenty years or more. Blank look and he signals Alphonse number two. I repeat the request...deep frown and the spread hands gesture. Looks around and beckons Manuel three into play. He speaks a little English but doesn't relate to "media dulce" I say..."dulce...sweet". "Ah, media sweet" he replies with a dazzling smile and trots off. My guess is they were three cockney ex plumbers. How else could they not understand a common word from Collins Spanish Dictionary?

Any chance of applying for Mayor of Alicante too Commie?

Ah, the perils of ordering a glass of the noble grape when abroad. I once ordered dry white wine in Germany and they brought me three of them.

I had to read that one twice. Bit slow this morning.
