The talk will be on food/dinners, rather than movies......
'Our final event this year, and a great way to usher in the Christmas season, will be a visit on Wednesday 5 December from the irrepressible Michael Winner, who will be sharing his thoughts on food and restaurants (and shamelessly plugging his new book
Fat Pig Diet). Michael would have got on splendidly with Montaigne, who appreciated the culinary art of those chefs 'who know how to season wafting odours with the savour of various foods. The King of Tunis's meats were stuffed with swee t smelling ingredients so luxuriously that a peacock and two pheasants cost a hundred ducats to prepare in their manner'. Now that sounds like the archetypal Winner dinner.'
