How dyu even go about asking for that combination at the carvery? You’d get some terrible looks from behind the counter. Components of completely different meals.

He didn’t have to ask.

They just knew

They did well to fish out the curry sauce from around the chicken.

I can’t speak for @Mac but if that was me in The 51 I’d approach it something like…

“Jesus Chef, making me choose between the curry & lasagne.”

“Go with the fucking lasagne Brian…I would.”

“Go on so”.

“Coleslaw & chips?”

“Please.”

“There’s two types of coleslaw…”

“Fine with me.”

“Some curry sauce on the jockeys?”

“Please.”

“How’s that?”

“Actually could I get a few of those roasties too please?”

You’ll note the subtle tactical nuances of a wily carvery exponent. Let chef know straight up you’re torn between two outstanding options - that put the seed into his mind to offer the curry sauce add on. And the coup de gras, as they say in France, wait until your plate is full & then ask for something else in a casual manner.

Truly outstanding :face_holding_back_tears:

You’ll make a fantastic rural principal one day after they finally pay you off.

Wait till the plate is filled before asking for the extras. Elite level carvery

At nearly €20 a pop the last time I was there you’d want to asking for everything. I only noticed afterwards you can get a girls portion for cheaper but I was too manly to ask for that

I’ll have a bit of everything yellow.

I’ve taken to asking for the half portion and because I’m lovely they’ll always add a wee but anyway. Win win.

Is Macra not an U35 organisation? That back row looks a bit overage.

There’s a fair bit to work on there. Shameless, corpulent muldoons grinning vacantly at the camera while their offsprings and siblings are hoping that Auntie Bridie in Boston doesn’t see the state the bould Mikey has gotten himself into. Apart from that an outstanding sample of the species.
