Conversations With The Girlfriend - Part II

Conversations with the girlfriend (CWTG) rarely fail to start and end in confusion or merriment. As I was treating her to a slap up meal, sorry, Pizza Express, we were enjoying my favourite starter - garlic doughballs.

TG (the girlfriend) says: “I wonder why they give you butter with them?”
Moi: “What do you mean?”
TG: “Well it’s not very healthy is it? I mean it tastes nice, but it can’t be good for you.”
“But you’ll just be left with the doughballs then won’t you?”
“That’s okay, they might be a bit dry but they’ll be healthier.”
“But it’ll just taste of warm bread.”
“Well, garlic bread.”
“No, just bread.”
“No, it’ll still be garlic bread.”
“How? The garlic’s in the butter.”
“No it isn’t.”
“Yes it is.”

Let’s just say this stand off continued for ooh 30 seconds before a clean of the palette with some wine and a taste of the doughballs and garlic butter separately.

The answer’s in the name, they don’t call it garlic butter for fun.
