Old Mrs. Turner has been given responsibility for our big night’s evening meal and came in this morning to share her thoughts on the menu.
Mr. Biggins says there will be no expense spared in this department and he has already decided to have not one but two jars of pickled eggs on each and every table.
Old Mrs. Turner suddenly seemed to panic on hearing this and when pressed she said that as her recipes were all created on a pickled egg basis as handed down through generations of her family, she thought that two jars of pickled eggs on the table might be seen by some as something of an overkill.
Mr. Biggins, however, pulled rank and insisted the two jars would stand and old Mrs. Turner will just have to use piccalilli instead. With a few hasty scribbles to the piece of paper in her hand, old Mrs. Turner announced the following:
To start: Duo of Seasonal Fish Cakes in a Piccalilli Sauce
Or
Pickled Egg Mayonnaise
Main Course: Piccalilli Chicken with Piccalilli Gravy
Or
Beef Piccalilli
All served with a panache of carrots, an explosion of peas, sauté potatoes nestling on a bed of roses and runner beans so posh that a silly word hasn’t been thought up for them yet.
Sweet will be pickled eggs dipped in a succulent home made chocolate sauce with piccalilli ice cream followed by cheese and biscuits and a sick bag.
