Dear Ian Cresswell
Thankyou for your letter of 24th April, and the vouchers, which I passed on to the
needy.
It would appear that I have made a mistake and that Butcher's Tripe Mix is a dog
food! Perhaps it is an understandable mistake though; I mean on boxes of Kellogg's
Frosties there's a picture of a tiger but it would be a fool who claimed that tigers
eat cornflakes, as I am sure you will agree.
Getting back to the point, your letter arrived too late to have
any influence on a meal which I recently put on chez Ravenscroft
for a potential client. However I doubt that it would have made
any difference to the menu I had decided on, even if it had arrived
before my client. In the event he said that the Tripes Provencal,
made with your Butcher's Tripe Mix as the basis, was quite superb,
and he couldn't believe that most of it had come out of a can.
In fact when I showed him the can to prove it he was quite
speechless. If I don't get a big order out of him I will be
very surprised, although up to now he has been out of the
office every time I've tried to contact him.
I must say that I enjoyed your little joke about keeping my nose wet and my
coat in tip top condition. Very funny!
Yours faithfully  |
