First, you face the starter. It’s a tiny, high-stakes decision. Do you go retro with prawn cocktail? Or get weird with the smoked mackerel pâté? The prawn cocktail is iconic. It’s so 1970s, it’s practically a vintage collectible.
Here’s a juicy detail: the prawns come in a glass cup. You get to feel like a Bond villain’s guest. For about three minutes. Then you eat them and feel like a king.
The Main Event Shenanigans
Now the mains. This is where the magic (and the arguments) happen. You’ve got chicken, beef, pasta, or maybe a fish pie. Never agree on the first pick. It’s a rule.
Funny detail: the lasagne is technically “for two.” But we all know the truth. It’s for one, with leftovers for a midnight snack. Don’t judge. That’s the tax you pay for convenience.
My favorite main? The chicken tikka masala. It’s not authentic Indian. It’s authentically British supermarket. And that’s perfect. It comes with a naan bread that’s bigger than your face. You will burn your tongue on it. Worth it.
