IanFromHKGParticipantActually, only the other day I was reading an article in my second favourite magazine, which revealed that there are proposals to replace Britannia – just not sponsored by HM Government.
What a waste to use gull’s eggs in an omelette – they are much better soft-boiled or fried, with toast.
Personally, though, I see was disappointed to see that White’s apparently serve their potted shrimps cold – they are so much better hot (and with a hint of garlic).

VintageKrugParticipantGarlic would spoil the night at Annabel’s afterwards. Duh. 😉

IanFromHKGParticipantOh, I only ever have potted shrimps at lunchtime. Having them for dinner would just be vulgar.

VintageKrugParticipantHow strange.
We often used to have them for supper at College, and Nanny encouraged potted shrimp at tea-time (before she was sacked, but that’s a whole other story).

VintageKrugParticipant….are warmed, garlic-laden shrimp vulgar, would you say, esselle?
And is the plural of shrimp “shrimp” or “shrimps”? I would err towards the former.

IanFromHKGParticipantThe follies of youth, VK. I trust you have outgrown these childish habits now 😉
esselle, I beg to differ. They remain potted shrimps, just as smoked salmon doesn’t stop being smoked salmon just because it has been warmed and mixed into a Caesar salad

canuckladParticipantI know I have been rebuked by VK in the past for Stanstead, and other misdemeanours of the English language but……
Shrimp is a shrimp is a shrimp…..never shrimps
Can I suggest School of Shrimp or maybe just Shrimp school or if you’re feeling informal a shrimpfest !
And VK is that Annabel’s in Ealing Broadway you’re talking about

VintageKrugParticipantIt’s pleasing to see the Commonwealth mastering the issue of many shrimp, while some very poor standards on show from garlic-breathed former Commonwealth residents….! 😉
I have never been in a club at the end of a tube line. And can I implore others not to google “Annabel’s Ealing Broadway”. No matter how “spotless” their rooms are.

millionsofmilesParticipantLiving on the continent, isolated, i cannot contribute to the correct time and way of consumption and not even to the spelling of “Potted Shrimp”.
Just say it is a delicious dish, for lunch and as a starter for dinner.

LuganoPirateParticipantThe Gaslight, that brings back memories! There was also the Directors Lodge nearby. Does that still exist?
