@Ling Today’s strip Is funny , our HERO Mr Andrew Capp’s grasp of French is very limited thinking hors is horse meat :o) my avatar is a picture of a Ford model T like my dad had when he was in the Sudan , I have a photo of my late sister Caroline sitting in it , come passerai il vostro Sabato mio piu men vecchio amicho? our Saturday should be a little busy but we will cope I hope , we both are in a good mood and after our bulk shopping is done ,we have no more errands to run , just stay inside the house and keep hydrated because it’s windy outside, keep safe and a bientot pal
This is the strip that I mentioned a couple of weeks ago. There was a French meal joke two weeks ago on the same day that this strip appeared in the Daily Mirror.
Andy, let me enlighten you. It’s a French restaurant. That means you’ll be spending all your money, but the portions will be so small that when you leave (five hours later because the service will be so interminably slow) you still WILL be hungry enough to eat a horse. Hope you packed a few extra bucks so you can stop off at Burger King on your way home, because you’ll need to. (Yes, this is based on personal experience so I know of what I speak).

You don’t want hors d’vours either

hors d’oeuvres: a small savoury dish, typically one served as an appetizer.

I have never heard anyone ever actually enunciate the “hors” in hors d’oeuvres

Andy, lad. What do you think they do with all the losers you bet on at the track? Waste not…!

Well it is a French restaurant.

Horse is delicious, though.

Can’t wait to see Andy face when they serve him some escargot.

Now we know what happens to the horses Capp bets on—and loses!!

Does the native accent in Hartlepool drop the ‘h’?

Bad on two levels. It’s pronounced or and horse is delicious.

Maybe the madam was offering the same lady of the evening to do over again. Which would explain the stink eye from Flo.

Why aren’t Flo or the waiter looking sideways at the readers on this one?

How about some “whore d’oeuvres”!?

A Brit waiter in a French restaurant is amusing by itself. Doubly so if said Brit doesn’t know the h and s in hors are both silent.

Donated meat from an angry owner.
cubswin2016 over 2 years ago
I would not want to eat horse either.
tcayer over 2 years ago
The ‘H’ is silent. I doubt the snooty waiter would mispronounce it. This only works because we can read the spelling.

If a restaurant doesn’t serve mushy peas Andy isn’t interested.
Templo S.U.D. over 2 years ago
um… unless you’re eating in a godfather’s restaurant, you might be eating horse?

Note the actual horse, Andy, just the derves.
Banjo Gordy Premium Member over 2 years ago
My father in law was in WW2 & his version of this appetizer was horse-duvers !
roberta.forbes.pyle over 2 years ago
Or-derves. At least that’s how I’ve heard it pronounced.

I agree with Andy on this one. Horsemeat? BLEAH!!!! Never had it, never will.

Archie and Jughead in a fancy restaurant:
Snooty Waiter: “Gentlemen, may I suggest a demitasse?”
Jughead (trying to be cultured): “Excellent suggestion, my good man… then, we’ll have coffee!”
Archie: (face-palm)
