Having had many a formal meal in my undistinguished professional career and being faced with another next week I find I'm getting cynical about restaurants that appear to charge by the number of adjectives in the menu description.
Please post your favourites, however cynical
A couple of mine
Description: Dew fresh morning picked
Meaning: after the morning irrigation and before lunch - 4 days ago - in Spain
Description: Fillet of corn fed Irish chicken in sage and onion confit served in a natural jus
Meaning: Marks and Spencer chicken breast with stuffing and gravy
Description: locally sourced wild game in red wine reduction
Meaning: Roadkill stewed in the dregs of carafes of house vinegar (sorry - wine)
