Someone gave us a 10,000 yen gift voucher for an Italian restaurant in Roppongi Hills. It's not the kind of place we normally go to, so I looked it up on Google. The website showed a tuxedo-clad waiter, and listed dishes such as sauteed escargot in mushroom cups.
"It looks a bit posh"
"How posh?"
"Spaghetti alle vongole: 3,600 yen?"
Beast tilted his head, weighing the cost of spaghetti times two minus 10,000 yen, "That's not all that bad". He came to peer over my shoulder at the menu.
A couple of seconds passed as he studied the selection. "Green peas: 1,470 yen?" he cried, "Do I look like a cunt?"
To be fair, that is about 10 quid. For some peas.

Beast not sounding so timorous now!
I think "Are you taking the Pea?" would have done it.
Welcome Murph. He's not that timorous when he gets worked up about veg.
Sometimes peas in a posh restaurant taste better than escargot in a crap restaurant. So it might be worth it.

I'd be willing to pay 1 yen per pea, max, so I'd need a colossal portion, indeed 1470 peas, to make it worthwhile. Escargot? You'd have to pay me to eat those buggers.
