I am pretty sure that I have published this food funny before, but
what the heck, it's kind of cute. Thanks to reader Gwendolyn Mars for
reminding us.
A man walks into a pub and the place is deserted, so he stands by the
bar waiting to be served. After a moment he hears a voice, "Those are
very nice trousers you're wearing, sir."
When he looks round he can't see where the voice came from. After
another short while he hears the voice again, "And the shirt really
makes you look quite handsome."
Before the man can figure out who is saying all this, the barman
appears behind the bar, carrying a crate up from the cellar. "Was
that you talking about my clothes just then?" the man asked.
"No sir, that's just the peanuts. They're complimentary."

Today's recipe, like most this week, is extravagant not only in its
use of some rather expensive ingredients, but also for its liberal use
of butter, making it a "once in a blue moon" treat.
Salmon and Caviar Spread
4 oz (100 g) fresh salmon fillet, skinned
4 oz (100 g) smoked salmon
4 oz (100 g) butter, at room temperature
Ground white pepper to taste
1 Tbs (15 ml) Cognac (optional)
4 oz (100 g) salmon roe
Poach or steam the salmon fillet until it is cooked through. Break
into chunks and place in an electric food processor along with the
smoked salmon, butter, white pepper, and optional Cognac. Process
until smooth. Place the salmon mixture in a bowl and gently fold in
the salmon roe. Place in a serving bowl and smooth the top with a
knife or decorate with the tines of a fork. Refrigerate at least 2
hours. Serve chilled with crackers or toast points. Serves 6 to 8 as
an appetizer.
