I haven't had one of those in a while. Very tasty. I used get those at an Irish bar in center city Philly.

I also don't eat the parsley sprig that some restaurants use to garnish their steak.

"James Bond specifies a recipe of how to make a gin and tonic while in Kingston, Jamaica in the book Dr. No. Unusually it involves the juice of a whole lime."

"Bond ordered a double gin and tonic and one whole green lime. When the drink came he cut the lime in half, dropped the two squeezed halves into the long glass, almost filled the glass with ice cubes and then poured in the tonic. He took the drink out on to the balcony, and sat and looked out across the spectacular view."
