What's on the menu.
Is next week is the start of the long goodbye? We can, for starters (from Sarcs's long list) redefine Haemorrhoids as piles of bleeding paper-work, stacked up on the miniscule's desk. It must be a foot high. This could be reduced by releasing certain items of interest for consumption.
L'Apéritif. perhaps the industry responses to the WLR. I cannot see, apart from practical (undisclosed) reasons, why these have not been published. Yep, a tasty way to start.
L'Entrée Perhaps a minuscule nibble around the edges of whether Truss is going to enforce the WLR salad or just let it droop and slide off the edge of the table.
Le Plat Principal. The Senate MoP surprise meal deal; - will it be meat and potatoes, or some mushy confection covered with a thin, bitter sauce? The chef's have been very coy about this dish, we must hope it's not served too cold due to delayed service.
Le Fromage. Pel Air cheese; this has matured and is now very ripe, to the point where the smell from the kitchen is almost palpable; the crackers have been a long while in the oven and ready to serve. This favourite of the fabled insurance elephant will not be palatable if delayed much longer. Perhaps the Canadian chef can be persuaded to serve it up sooner, rather than later.
Le Dessert. DAS pudding; not done properly, this can be either bitter or incredibly bland; we have had both at this restaurant. Perhaps the new chef from the Brindabella mountains can coax out the finer flavours from this potentially disastrous dish.
Le Café. Medivac biscuits and espresso, although delicious, the biscuits are very fragile, prone to disintegrate especially when exposed to moisture, 'dunking' is a frowned upon practice for the true connoisseur. The bitter aftertaste of the coffee more than offsets the sweetness found in a well made confection.
Le Digestif. Machiavellian nuts, Beaker balls, ICC Ginger curls, chocolate wabbit ears; or, cigar butts and an expensive Montreal brandy. Help yourself.

Reason: Let them eat cake is not a good call..
