I smell a frog. How come there are no British or American chefs on the list, or non-French wines? I thought Bangers and Mash, or Fish n' Chips with mushy peas, or Hot Dogs, or oven roast turkey with collard greens and all the fixins were the pinnacle of fine dining?

But Not as good as Monty's pork Fillet Steak, as you well now and only 150 bht.
Aunty, I hope if they do serve rat , that it does not smell.
the 1,000,000 bht dinner does sound a little bit froggy.
It is a shame(I can not go,) es cargo.
