Today was lunch with the three chaps, Mayonnaise deciding against eating indoors to enjoy the sunshine. Peanut and Jelly exclaimed that they dislike the sunshine, and Butter, well let’s just say that Butter wouldn’t melt in his mouth. So, the three chaps for lunch in the Paramount Retail Centre Food Court.
Peanut arrived first and went with Chef Lanka, possibly inspired by Jelly’s meal from there last fortnight and his positive comments about it. Jelly had ordered fish curry (“a bit sweet”) and lamb curry with cashews and yellow rice with zucchini and carrots. Peanut got lamb and beef curries and biryani rice, by the looks of it, of which he said “two meats is too much,” which was the first time anyone had heard him complain of having too much meat in his mouth. He said he’d prefer “meat and two veg”, like old-fashioned Western style cuisine.
Jelly arrived next with home made cous cous salad, leftovers from two nights before. He also had a fork taken from the work cutlery drawer.
Butter came last (as usual, but at least he came – he didn’t come the last time) and brought with him only an apple. He had a hoarse voice from “too much gargling”.
After 30 minutes or so of the usual gutter talkthe three chaps headed back to work.
'Gutter talk' probably doesn't do it justice...
