Whenever anyone says consomme, I am alway reminded of the first episode of "Jeeves and Wooster", when they are serving dinner for woosters future in-laws and are told by Woosters aunt that they eat only the simplest of food...
Wooster: (after singing mini the moocher ) Well now Jeeves, do you think I ought to sing Mini the Moocher to the Glossop's this evening?
Jeeves: I shouldn't think it adviceble Sir, I have not heard that Sir Roderick is musical...
Wooster: Ah no, but Lady Glossop is!
Jeeves: There is also that to be considered Sir...
Wooster: Well now, what are you giving us for dinner tonight?
Jeeves: Consomme Sir, a cutlet, and a Savoury...And some lemon squach... Iced...
Wooster: Well, I dont see how that can harm them, just don't get caried away with the excitement of things and start bringing in coffee...
Jeeves: Very good Sir...
