Independent Q&A And Withnail Food

February27

Richard’s Q&A session should be in tomorrow’s Independent – Review section.

Acccording to reports, Posh Nosh was very good last night. Simon seems to be more and more irritated by Minty’s short comings whilst she continues to worship him. In Simon’s own words:

“We were drawn together by similar interests – She loved me and I did too.”

Denise informs me that the latest Waitrose magazine has an article that is a pair up of films and food. The Sound of Music recalls Maria?s delight in Schnitzel with noodles. For American Graffiti the classic burger is suggested. Manhattan should be accompanied by a Reuban sandwich. Whilst Amelie can crack the top of a luscious creme brulee. Finally, the one you?re waiting for, the classic cult movie Withnail and I. No prizes for the line which has inspired the choice here “Cake and fine wine…..We want the finest wines available to humanity.”

Here’s their write-up:

WITHNAIL AND I

BRUCE ROBINSON, 1987

Richard E Grant, Paul McGann, Richard Griffiths

The food: In their search for both sustenance and oblivion, the duo enter a genteel teashop demanding “cake and fine wine”. Laugh at their misfortune while sipping a glass of warming dessert wine such as Muscat de Beaumes-de-Venise and tucking into particularly delicious Waitrose white chocolate truffle torte.

Thanks guys!
