However, when tigris tells me that purposes of plot development required the replacement of welsh rarebit with pizza, I am not entirely convinced. A cynic might wonder whether the prospect of product-placement $$$ swayed the decision.
The bottle is then riddled, so that the lees settles in the neck of the wine bottle... Manual riddling is still done for Prestige Cuvées in Champagne... mechanised riddling equipment (a gyropalette) is used instead. (Wikipedia)

A giant pizza wheel is stalking me. Your argument is noncupatory invalid

ReplyDeleteBTW, I have always wanted to try Welsh Rarebit. I may have to make some soon.
ReplyDeletePoor little rarebits.
ReplyDeleteH.Rumbold, I am re-reading "Eastward Ha!'. The man had style.
ReplyDeletePerelman fans. For some reason the parental units had two copies of Crazy Like a Fox, which we read & reread. Need more of him on the Internits.

Did you get to the SOS yet?

ReplyDeleteI didn't realise that the "champing -> chafing" malapropism goes back so far.
I bet "chomping" goes back further.
