Lord Noel's Suggestion For Those With Expensive Taste

Whatto! Foodies.....


I was wondering where to take my lovely Lady wife out for a meal.....
...it simply MUST be somewhere with exhorbitant prices.....
...I hate not being overcharged for food....
...it makes one feel that we is consuming something inferior....
....and one definately doesn't like that.


I scoured the internet for somewhere excessively expensive....
...and I think I've finally found it!
Yes!...
...and you may be quite amazed to discover that it is.....
.....The Kingston Hospital in London!


HOSPITAL?....I hear you cry....
Yes....Kingston Hospital......
...The bally old NHS!
....where a small piece of Garlic Bread costs.....
...£35,000!!!


....and apparently they even serve it to you straight from the RUBBISH BIN!
How Nouvelle cuisine!!
I just CAN'T wait to eat there!
Let me explain.....


.....the Hospital's Chef (Hamid Elkhiyari aged 53 - not the chap above....he's just a very jolly chef) had been unable to take a proper lunch break because heavy snowfall kept many of his hospital co-workers from showing up for work.....
(So this must have happened last winter)
....then he saw a piece of garlic bread being thrown into the bin........
....well.....being in a hurry.....
....and obviously not wishing to see food wasted.....
....he snatched it up and ate it.
Then the Management at Kingston Hospital found out......
.....and for reasons best known to themselves.....
...(which for now let's just call it 'Gross Incompetence')
.....accused him of THEFT of the garlic bread......
...and six days later.......
....fired him.
Needless to say Elkhiyari went to court, citing racial discrimination by hospital contractor ISF Mediclean against him.....
.....and the tribunal agreed.....
....awarding the chef £35,000 in compensation.
Elkhiyari said of the incident. ""It is ridiculous, service had finished so everything was being cleaned away to throw into the bin. So I had a piece of garlic bread."

Tallyho!"

This MUST be the most expensive garlic bread ever?
Best Wishes - Lord Noel & Lady Jacqueline
