Fish and chips

It's only just dawned on me that the four of us went all the way to Calais on Thursday, and what did we have for lunch? Fish and chips. Very nice fish and chips, but still...

Having said that, lunch began with a bowl of olives and a plate of amuses bouche, followed by our starters (three had pate, I had stuffed crab) before the fish and chips. OK, my fish was fillets of sole Dieppoise, two of the others had grilled sea bream and the fourth had roast back of cod. All served with frites. Then for dessert, chocolate mousse, rhubarb tart and creme brulee (there should be accents in there somewhere but I don't know how to do them), and finish off with coffee.

All very pleasant, but now I'm off to get ready for my roast beef.

Try cutting and pasting from your word processing program.

Thanks, Ivan. I had got so far that I just couldn't be bothered with the cut and paste. Perhaps I should have been more specific in my comment, like 'I don't know how to do them HERE'. I wonder if there is a way?
