So within a week of moving here I went out for lunch with some co-workers. Most of the pubs here serve lunch, and it's to one of them that we went. Usually they serve sandwiches and some hot dishes at reasonable prices. Quite good, but of course lacking spices.
So I went for a hot dish. After getting the meat they started asking which vegtables I wanted.
"Mashed potatoes?"
"No thanks."
"Roasted potatoes?"
"Yes"
"Garlic potatoes?"
"Yes," I reply thinking it's getting a touch silly.
Now at this point I have some meat and two potato dishes on my plate. He can't offer me more potatoes, can he? What's left to be made from them? Surely he'll say carrots, or peas, or
"Chips?"
