At a fine pub in Oxford, the beer is tasty, the staff friendly and prompt, the chairs are comfortable, and it really does have all the fittings required for a nice modest night out. Unfortunately I can’t recall the name of the pub at this time, but the most important detail is still sharp in my mind.
In addition to offering a nice variety of food and beverages for your enjoyment, this restaurant also had one unique menu item which, I must confess, I have never seen on any other menu, anywhere in the world. From the fancy restaurant to the hole-in-the-wall to the street vendors, this item has never been duplicated, as far as I know.
Someone to eat your bread with you! If that isn’t thoughtful, what is? Mind you, you have to pay, but 2.50 is really a very reasonable price for some good company to break bread with, don’t you think?
