Starters for Ten

That could have been an appropriate order for the first course at our quiz team’s annual dinner at the Talbot in Bishopton, but only four of us plumped for starters; these along with ten mains and nine desserts racked up a reasonable bill of just under £200 (excluding drinks) and applying our accumulated cash winnings of £40 lessened the individual impact - so good food and a pleasant night out with, for once, no pesky questions to interrupt the conversation.
