'Don't cry for me Avocado tuna'

from Andrew Lloyd Webber's hit musical, 'Ryvita'

That's so awful I haven't even bothered taking my coat off

Blimey! I don`t feel so bad now about putting Der Fledermousse on the menu. Or `The Flour Duet` - Delibes. Or even The Hebrides Couverture.

I had a nice afternoon tea today at the national, but had half of it, the half plate diet works well, says model friends.

If you want to lose weight, ask the obsessed Smiley

rm, er, aren't you within about 10 minutes of some of the best and cheapest curry joints in Western Europe?  Grin

Yes but they don't do your waistline or your halitosis any favours...

Maybe if Janine were to accompany me there and we shared a garlic balti [PAUSES TO PICTURE THE SCENE] neither of those things would matter any more... <sigh>

 Huh Am I turning into Lord B ?!?!?

Janine is only coming back to wigmore hall so she can have fish and chips with me,around the corner, after, it is all trueeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Beethoven - Quite an amount of olives
Strauss - Dill Eulenspiegel
Tippett - The Midsummer Pudding
Beethoven - An die fennel geliebte
Strauss -  Ein "Alpen" - Sinfonie
Tippett - A Chard of our Time (or, much later - The Wine Lake)

also

Dench - The Caught Broth of Time
Busoni - Garlicchino
Maxwell Davies - Songs for a January King
Grainger - In a Nut-roast
Sorabji - Opus Capsicum
Tchaikovsky - The Queen of Spuds (otherwise known as Pike Darne)
Henze - The Bass - arids (terrible, this; bass should be succulent, not dry)...
Bernstein - There's a Plaice for Us
Varèse - Tuna Up
Bartók - The Miraculous Mandarin Orange
Stravinsky - Apollon Moussaka

Haydn - The Cranachan
Liszt - Les Pralines
Vaughan Williams - Floss Candy
Barber - Vanilla
Holst - The Perfect Raspberry Fool
Debussy - Assiettes Oubliées
Britten - Death by Chocolate in Venice


...and, dare I even have the temerity to mention it?(...probably not...)
Barrett - Granité

But then there's the most puzzling of all - the coffee one. We all know about Bach's so-called Coffee Cantata and the once-popular 1930(?)s song You're the Cream in my Coffee, but what's the most important of recent non-decaffeinated musical references? No one seems to be able to answer this when I ask it in this context, so it is usually left to me to mention Dutilleux as a clue. Even then, the response is usually one of blank visages - until I reveal that it is, of course, Mystère de l'instant...

Please Mr Moderator, will you allow me back after three weeks' penance?...

Best,

Alistair

And if you don't brush your teeth afterwards you'll get Roberto Gerhard's The Plaque.
Curable, however, by regular use of Vaughan Williams's Floss Candy (see above).

Gershwin - Porky and Bass (a terrible, thoroughly indigestible combination)
Delius - A Volaille Remoulade and Julienne
Copland - Grilling the Kid
Barrett - Dark Matter (well, squid ink sauce, if you prefer)...
Ferneyhough - La Pomme de Terre est un Homard

Always keep you ChIves in the Fr-idge (they last longer that way)

I think that's enough of that...

Best,

Alistair

A couple of our larger sopranos offer "Porky Amor" as an audition piece...  from "Le nozze de Fig-aro" boom-boom!

That leads inevitably to:

Cosi fan Tutti-frutti
The Magic Fruit
La Clementine di Tito

and then, most appropriately for a Diet thread:

The Liposuction from the Seraglio

Szymanowski - Haggis
Lutosławski - Profiteroles tissées
Berlioz - Haricot en Italie
Alkan - Chenin de fer
Strauss - Cappuccino
Britten - Oh, wine? wine? Graves? (good with A Midsummer Night's Bream)
Carter - A Mûre on Which to Dwell
Messiaen - St. Framboise d'Assiette

And so to bed...

Best,

Alistair
