Last night I flew back to the UK on an international flight, and I would swear Arthur was in charge of catering.

Behold - Surprising Rice, with handy additions from the orange platter.

I would tell you what was in it, but that’s not entirely in the spirit of Surprising Rice.

Brilliant!

Chuckling here!

Just got back from a 3hr rainy motorcycle ride home and amused myself by spotting 27 yellow cars!

Did he do the version of the cabin address that included screaming as well?

notprincehamlet · 17/09/2023 15:45

Love it! Think I'd have gone with the Strepsils though Smile

Snorklette · 17/09/2023 15:45

Totally brilliant! And what of the orange platter?? I wonder who got that.. 😂

<or a Strepsil>

ScottBakula · 17/09/2023 15:46

Did you have any Talisker?

CorylusAgain · 17/09/2023 15:48

Fizzy yoghurt for pudding? 😄

I have found my people!

I tried one mouthful and it was weirdly fizzy and tasted slightly of antiseptic, so I had the bread roll instead.

That's exactly what surprising rice should taste like. An excellent vintage

Did you opt for cheesecake or strudel for dessert?

Just remember the three numbers!

I don’t remember the three numbers part.

The antiseptic taste will be the Strepsil.

IvorTheEngineDriver · 17/09/2023 16:56

The lemon is in play!

Snorklette · 17/09/2023 16:58

Bowl of grey, anyone? 😁

Snorklette · 17/09/2023 17:01

I wish there was a Cabin Pressure Appreciation Society where we could hang out and drink Talisker / pineapple juice 😋

AllProperTeaIsTheft · 17/09/2023 17:01

Poisoned cheesecake for pudding? Grin
The three numbers reference is from when Arthur is using stupid ways to remember how long to microwave the Admiral's pie and let it rest in between goes!

Twazique · 17/09/2023 17:03

I always listen to this when flying! Fantastic Surprising Rice! 😆

Makinglists · 17/09/2023 17:03

You should have asked for baby chicken or baby lamb might have tasted better!

Me too! Meetings to be held in the Flap and Throttle, or perhaps the Windsock Arms. I'll bring Strudel (my dog is called Strudel Grin).

Patchworksack · 17/09/2023 18:34

Arthur trying to remember three minutes - one minute - three minutes for the Admiral’s pie

TapDancingEverySyllableFromEarToEar · 17/09/2023 18:38

Whar was the in flight film? The one with the woman from the West Wing and Bill Paxman?
