.oOOo.

Sherlock Holmes placed the menu down with a shake of his head.

‘Of course I can read it, Watson, but I do not recognise any of the items.’

‘Now you know how I felt in Paris.’

‘So what if I had to order for you? You said everything was delicious.’

‘Snails, Holmes.’

‘They’re a delicacy.’

‘…and the frogs’ legs.’

‘Those were the spécialité de la maison. Auguste would have been offended had we not tried them.’

‘Well, there are no such surprises here. The only meats Mr Gupta serves are lamb and chicken. Shall we start with the lamb vindaloo?’

.oOOo.

Supplementary Notes: today's prompt isn’t a prompt at all;
it’s a “free square” or empty page you can fill with anything you like.
So I drew a blank before this idea popped up.

I think your waitress was being particularly cruel leaving water for you. You need milk to neutralise the spice oils; water just spreads it around. My first taste of curry was "WHERE HAS THIS BEEN ALL MY LIFE???"
(Thanks!)
