A Culinary Debate Among Friends
Dr. John H. Watson:
Try some of this curry. It's excellent.
Sherlock Holmes: [ignoring him and speaking to the waiter]
Steak and kidney pudding, please.
Major Duncan-Bleek:
Of course, the Bengal curry doesn't compare with that of Madras. It's the quality of the mutton that makes the difference, don't you think?
Dr. John H. Watson:
The, uh... the meat's unimportant. It's the spices that make the difference. Don't you agree with me Holmes?
Sherlock Holmes: [he hasn't been paying attention to the discussion]
What?
Dr. John H. Watson:
I say, we-we-we were discussing curry.
Sherlock Holmes:
Oh, yes, curry! Horrible stuff!
Dr. John H. Watson:
Oh, really? One man's meat is another man's poison.
