He was hungry and he was close to a place he knew.
He saw what was on offer and thought about it for a bit. He looked around. The place was quiet.
He said, “I’d like to order a la carte, if that’s OK?”
The other smiled. “Not a problem, sir.”
“I’d like to start with the lasagne and some finely cut chips with a small salad of just lettuce and tomato.”
“Of course, sir.”
“To follow, the sticky date pudding topped with whipped cream.”
“Yes, we can do that.”
“Can I get a glass of chilled Sauvignon Blanc to follow?”
“Yes, sir. Will that be all?”
“Yes. Thank you.”
The man took the note and held out the frankfurter in a role.
With a smile and a wink, he said, “Tomato sauce over there.”
