| But nobody thinks of the glorious platefuls of fresh vegetables and steaming dishes of frumenty. |
| I've been known to have dreams involving roasted-onion tarts, platefuls of oatmeal chocolate-chip cookies, and butter-rich cakes stacked like gold bullion. |
| I curse the cook who made the mulligatawny, but I forget that I ate two platefuls of it. |
| Food is just about my only remaining pleasure up here, and so I dive greedily into vast platefuls of the stuff. |

| Among my favourites, from two platefuls, were pork in black bean sauce, the chilli spare ribs, the char sui in Cantonese sauce and the chicken wings in garlic sauce. |
