 Minty
We first cooked this supper for Anthony Wakeley-Smith ('Tony') who
you'll know better as the Bishop of Oxford. I asked him to say grace
but he said he'd 'clocked off' for the day and very kindly
offered me the chance to say it for him. It was an honour but also
frightening and I didn't manage to say all the things God would have
wanted me to. So now I've had the chance to work on it a bit I'd like
to offer you the chance to say it with your own supper. It's not usual
to include a prayer in a recipe but I feel it's both appopriate and
classy:
Lord,
thank you for the gift of preparing beautiful food to eat unto you
tonight. For the pugliese, thank you. For the chicken, thank you.
For the vinegar, thank you. For the flaked almonds, watercress,
pepper, salt, parsnip, butter and lettuce hearts, thank you again.
And we do not forget the tarragon, Lord. For, Lord, we know you
agree it's the little things that counteth. And, finally, thank
you for the money with which we are blessed to spend on the finest
ingredients available at source in your kingdom. Amen.
