Now, not only will the food be inedible, it will sound inedible as well. [DrBob, Dec 15 2008]

Just take the existing menu, and rewrite it en Francais: |

I once went to the Savoy in London with my Gran, and she ordered seasoned bread baked haddock, potatoes o-somethingeorother and crushed garden peas. |
|

Bit pretentious for fish chips and mushy peas I thought. Was nice though. |

I think, people, that some of you are missing the point. The idea is for obtuse menu descriptions rather than a mass outbreak of fake French accents.
Personally, I think that there are far too many of these in the world as it is (obtuse menus & fake French accents both), so I think that on this occasion I shall choose from the menu the rather excellent fish of the day, served with the flesh pre-scoured on a bed of plain china and with a lightly sprinkled garnish of withering contempt!

You make it sound like a mass outbreak of fake French accents is a bad thing. I saw the Heston B/Little Chef thing and it looks like an excellent idea - His TV programme where he made versions of reasonably 'ordinary' dishes (Spaghetti Bolognese, Burgers, roast Chicken, etc.) was very interesting. I tried the Spaghetti Bolognese and it was delicious. |

It is! |

One of my all-time favourite dreams is to open "La Cuillère Graisseuse" - serving a choice of gourmet breakfast fayre to my corpulent customers. The occasional hint of a French accent wouldn't be a bad thing at all. |

I'll have to remember that one. |
