chrisp65 Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Princess Camela has suggested that school kids submit suggestions for a menu choice for her maj as celebration of the Diamond Jubilee. Menu should be typically British, relatively simple and suitable or relevant for an oldie. My nippers are currently trying to think of their menu choices. I've got a few ideas, currently I'l leaning towards: starter: dairy lea cheese squares on crackers main course: pizza dessert: wagon wheel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjmooney Posted January 25, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted January 25, 2012 Funnily enough, there's a TV program right now about the logistics of the first crusade to Jerusalem. They took loads of bacon and beans with them. Typical Brits, don't want to eat that foreign muck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted January 26, 2012 Author Share Posted January 26, 2012 Princess Camela Who? no no, not that Princess Camela. I suspect that one is hiding a little surprise for some young lad off his face on fizzy lager and thinking he's about to get the full tour of Phucket.
