- You will stay to dinner, of course.
- I'm starving! Is there enough food for both of us?
- I hope so.
- Mmm... It smells delicious. What is it?
- It's a Mexican dish. It ought to be good. I've been preparing it for
five hours.
- There's enough food for ten people! Are you expecting company?
- No. I was going to eat it all myself.

- Well, Susan, how do you find it here? I hope you’re not
disappointed.
- Just on the contrary. The casserole is perfect, it's savoury and
succulent. The meat is tender, the gravy is rich. The tomatoes are
fresh and juicy and the salad is out of this world!
- I'm glad you like everything.
- Everything except the potatoes. They are rather tasteless, there isn't
enough flavour in them.
- Add some salt perhaps.
- Then pass me the salt, please.
- Here you are.
- Thank you. Oh sorry, may I trouble you for a piece of bread?
- Certainly. Here is the bread tray (basket).

- We would prefer a table by the window
- Right this way. This table is vacant. It's quiet and romantic here.
- Thank you.
- Are you ready to order?
- A prawn cocktail for the lady and a mixed salad for me.
- What kind of dressing would you like ?
- Italian, please.
- And the main course?
- I can't decide between the mutton chop and the trout.
- The trout is better. We haven't had it for a long time.
- I'm sorry, it's not on the menu today. I could recommend you
curried chicken. It's the specialty of the house. I'm sure you'll like
the dish.
