Autumn 2011's cider is ready! Chrystal clear, effervescent like champagne, somewhat tart, necessarily a little alcoholic, and never sweet. The label reads: Ye fyne vintage from the year of our Lorde 2011 on the day 1 October. Made from the fruite pilfer'd of ye olde Apple treese from yonder twee village of Balcombe, West Sussex Rotted by Master Apple-Rotterer, Gerrit. Guaranteed to crush scull, rot gut, loose memory, succumbe from ye olde gout. ASBO Knighthood optional. And great on cornflakes for breakfast! |
Why is there no English phrase for "Bon Appétit"?
This was explained to me by a French colleague: Because the British cuisine is so woefull.
