For my birthday treat I am allowed to have dinner at any restaurant in London.

[Sir C]

Shawarma! Chateau Musar!


I think the best thing about this is that it will distress Monty, who will demand you go to some ungodly ponce-fest instead.

There's going to be hummus to start. There's going to be pickles. That's the whole deal.

There was a part of me that was tempted by the Thai offerings of Kiln, the Sri Lankan delights of Hoppers, or the £500 dim sum of A Wong, but I can have those things any time. I'm only allowed the shawarma once a year

Once a year? Does your wife object to the smell?

[Sir C]

Once a year? Does your wife object to the smell?

Oh no, there are just too many other things she'd prefer to eat. It's never her first choice so I, being the kind, caring husband, do not subject her to it more than once a year.

That is very selfless. I think the last shawarma I had was on my own in a place that I'm pretty sure was full of terrorists in Holborn.

I had to drink it with a can of diet Coke.
