"What's for dinner?" they ask at the Pub.
"Duck with cherry sauce," we reply.
"With black cherries?" asks Gaz, the Pub owner/manager.
"Yes," we say.
Envious eyes all turn our way.
"But it's Monday!" exclaim our friends.
I cannot understand why particular meals should be reserved for particular days, why the more extravagant meals like duck & cherry sauce are too good to have on a Monday. I can see the weekend is the only time when many people have the time to cook something more complicated &/or time-consuming. In times past, before the days of fridges & freezers, that meant Monday was often the left over weekend roast. I don't understand why that should apply now.
I suspect they would be equally alarmed at the idea of us having cod for dinner today. I can almost hear the words "But it's not Friday". As far as I'm concerned any day of the week is a potentially good day for fish.
