TABLE ANTICS

摘要

One Mipim dinner hosted by Rider Levitt Bucknall amused guests with a dessert that came complete with a pipette of whisky. A great idea at 7pm but not so clever circa 10pm when guests were were effectively presented with mini water pistols filled with alcohol. Aecom's Thursday-night dinner was also notable, particularly as new global chief executive of cost management Bob Pell ended up sharing his starter with one of my colleagues. I hear he encouraged our hacks to try escargot, converting them from a snail-sceptic to the point where he found himself losing most of his dish to his new dinner companion. Sacre bleu!
