will you be wanting port with that?

Post by Gob »

A restaurant customer who asked for cheese and biscuits to finish off her meal was handed a plate of brie, cheddar and red Leicester alongside custard creams, Jammie Dodgers and bourbons.

Diane Murray, an NHS assistant director in Ayrshire, was handed the unusual selection of biscuits to accompany the cheese at an as-yet-unnamed hotel restaurant. Ms Murray and her step-daughter Steph Kerr took to Twitter to share news of the bizarre encounter, with the latter writing on the social media site: ‘If you need cheering up, here's a photo of the time my stepmum asked for cheese and biscuits at a hotel.’

Yes. Yes please, port, biscuits, cheese. I'll take it all!

I don't think that's celery. I think it's a toenail.

Cheeses with apple slices and some cut-comb honey; the perfect dessert. A glass of port would be nice too.
