[Tiddles]

What was it that Mrs. Slocombe poured over Mr. Lucas's head?

Custard, I think.

We leads us of course to BLANCMANGE. A disgusting, wiggly milk pudding and the object of discussion in the canteen. :lol:


How about that mystery soup Mr. Harman serves from a trash can, while wearing a gas mask! It had a hint of curry...and a partially dissolved OXO cube....sounds yummy! :shock:

They also have eaten a few meals of bangers and mash (sausages and mashed potatoes). Covered with "sauce" (the brit term for ketchup or A-1 Steak Sauce and the like)

Cream Cakes "If you keep eating those cream cakes, no one will KNOW you've been reduced!"

Rhubarb "I can't recommed the rhubarb and the toad has jumped OUT of the hole!"

It's ****-A-Leekie (chicken and leek) soup BTW.

There was one Mr H brought his lunch from home!

Mother watched Moses on the telly last night and thought Burt Lanchaster looked very manly!

Latkes/Gefelta fish. Not to sure on these!

[Very Young Mr Grace]

These lines from "Is It Catching?" can sum it all up.....

Canteen Manager -- "I'm under a lot of strain cooking for you lot!"

Miss Brahms -- "You'd be under a lot more strain if you had to eat it !!"

:mrgreen:

[BlissGirl]

Buns and cheese. "I don't like cheese" "There isn't very much cheese"

[Tiddles]

I believe the buns and cheese were served on the floor for a staff meeting. But it's food. So let's venture out of the canteen now:

Cocao and buns

Smoked Salmon Sandwiches and Irish Coffees

At the Shareholder's Meal we had some:

Sherry

Brown Windsor Soup

Eels (almost...!!)

Yorkshire Puds

Potatoes Boiling Over

There are more......

And at Romano's the staff enjoyed a

Nice aperitif...." Thank you...and they're MY OWN!! :mrgreen: "

Lobster Thermostat (thermodore....)

Well hung venison

There are more....

[dazzlestar14]

And who could forget those lovely water biscuits with the mouse hair?? I eat those all the time! :o

[luv_ya_humphries]

rissoles- what they thought caused Mr Rumbold's food poisoning. (Also mentioned in other episodes

Sardines- Mr Goldberg offered the head of his for Mrs Slocombe's pussy in The Apartment

Hot Pot- "I hope he's faster than he was last year my Hot Pot turned into a cold pot"

[Cat_Lover]

Halibut (with holly in it) - eaten by Mr Lucas in "Christmas Crackers"; because he didn't buy a ticket for the department's Christmas lunch.

[madeinengland]

What about the mouse-nibbled cheese that Capt. Peacock carved his and Mrs Slocombe's initials in? "How sad, the passing of the years".

Or Mr Humphries' pill -based diet. "Which particular pill is going to cure which particular deficiency?".

And, ok it didn't actually happen, but if Mr Grainger had got his way, it could have been 2 cyanide tablets...

[sonosun]

I wouldn't really want Mrs Slocombe to be poisoned ,but that is a great line. '..no make it two in case the first one doesn't work.":graingerhead:

[madeinengland]

It is a great line. You could summarise the quality of most of the canteen food when Rumbold suggests providing vouchers for a canteen lunch for Mrs Slocombe in "50 years on", and Peacock retorts "Rather along the lines you were thinking, Mr Grainger".

[Diana Yarswick]

How about mushy peas?

[larsen525]

Cabinet pudding with simulated cream.

[sonosun]

A lot of dead things in jelly.:ymghead:
