Travisty Writers’ Formal - 32nd October

Surprise, shock and scare your taste buds with Travisty’s fine(ish) dining experience

All the items in the below menu have been tested, and possibly even relished, by Trinity students in the past. Travisty takes inspiration from those who have passed before us in these hallowed halls, and brings to you a menu to remember. Unfortunately, Travisty could not accommodate for all dietary preferences and requirements. This may be a good thing.

Starters:

Eggs à l’Ecosse: A startling combination of delectable fried eggs from Hall left out over porridge that despite being hot originally – is guaranteed to be slightly cold by the time that you come to eat it. A real textural delight as the yolk stays separated from the porridge.

Tomato Soup with Custard Cream Croutons: A little unexpected, perhaps, to have biscuits precede the coffee, but the sweet warmth of tomato soup meshes well with the sweet of a custard cream. An instant British classic, wonderful for all the family.

Main Courses:

Saumon deux fois: Grilled salmon served two ways, accompanied by a banana for a taste of colonialism, and placed in a sandwich overflowing with Twiglets (brown bread, to aid the digestion). Accompanied by 500g of cashew nuts (do NOT try this at home).

Un diplomate défoncé: Trifle for a main may be unexpected, but these layers of fish fingers covered in roasted garlic, honeyed bacon, and fried eggs topped with slices of cheese are form an unforgettable bowl of joy. Microwaved and covered in pepper, this will be remembered by your tastebuds for ever.

Dessert:

Toad in the Hole: We took the sausages served at brunch. We took the chocolate sauce that is allegedly meant for the waffles, and layered it generously over the top of the sausages to create a sweet-toothed twist on another British classic.

Toast: Served with butter, barbecue sauce, ketchup, chocolate sauce and sprinkles.

Coffee and Biscuits:

Served with tonic water or mozzarella brine.

The biscuits consist of one (1) whole Battenberg cake each.

This Menu is the marvellous creation of Thomas Frith OBE (he was awarded his OBE after he presented this very meal to Charles III) Some of the above items are really not recommended for consumption, and Travisty takes no responsibility for any intestinal damages incurred.
