Ordering Lunch and Dinner

Mr Ryefield: Yes. I’ll have the beef stew for starters and my wife would like tomato soup.
Waiter: One beef stew and one tomato soup. What would you like for the main course?
Mr Ryefield: I’ll have the Cayenne Pepper Steak and my wife would like the Fried Trout with mashed
potatoes.
Waiter: I’m afraid the trout is off.
Mrs Ryefield: Oh dear. Err... What else do you recommend?
