Reece hAd been senT some money by his Aunt Agatha with instructions to go and dine in her favourite restaurant (which was rather posh). The menu was a total mystery to Reece, so he asked for the waitress to choose something for him. She ordered 'pheasant under glass'. Reece was very impressed by the presentation, but the taste made him convinced the food had a taint. The waitress tried to explain that that was the way it always was and that what he'd noticed was the gamey taste. But Reece would have none of it. He ordered tapas instead. He said he was none too impressed with the tapas either, though the empty dishes suggested otherwise! Reece managed to wrangle a 30% discount because of his dissatisfaction and vowed never to return to the 'tacky' restaurant. Whenever he met up with Aunt Agatha after that, talking about 'that restaurant' was a taboo subject.
