The funny thing is my mind went exactly to that lamb leg they pictured!
- dmurray 6y agoYours and that of every single person (writer's italics) whom the writer interviewed for this piece. I did wonder how all of the writer's friends are well read enough to know Dahl's short stories, but uncultured or at least dry enough not to recognize what goes in a jeroboam. That's a small intersection.
- GuB-42 6y agoThe funny thing is that it is my idea as well. I don't remember reading that short story or any adaptation of it, and I even had to look up who Dahl was. But I knew about the story of the murder with a frozen piece of meat (didn't remember it was lamb) that got served to the police afterwards. I guess it is one of these ideas that just stick around. Note, I am French, so I may not know who Dahl is, but I definitely know what a jeroboam is ;)
