Boris Johnson hosts a dinner: how the rich eat
Boris Johnson hosted a dinner for 20 or so top business leaders at Downing St on Monday evening.
They were no doubt relieved that he was not doing the cooking himself but using a caterer.
The dinner was meant to be part of a promotion for investment in industry, although quite how essential it was to that purpose might be questioned
As often the real interest was in what they were eating.
Canapes: jellied eels, chicken liver parfait, pumpkin and white truffle gougers
Starter: potato and roe
Main course: Welsh venison with 16 year old Lagavulin whisky
Dessert: pear and lemon meringue
One presumes dietary issues were addressed.
Those struggling to put basic food on the table after the Government’s Universal Benefit cut might ask who was paying for the dinner. The answer is certainly not Boris Johnson but of course the taxpayer..
