We Don'T Serve Cheeseburgers At Downton

We Don’t Serve Cheeseburgers at Downton By Elton Camp Mrs. Patmore strongly protested When a cheeseburger was requested With a sneer, the cook did say “That guest is from the USA.” “While for an American it’s good enough, My kitchen would be defiled by such stuff.” “Thus, such lowly fare I’ll never serve. From gourmet food I refuse to swerve.” “Tell him standards must be maintained,” To her young helper, Daisy, she explained “Go back to him and very firmly say, ‘Cook says you must be satisfied with pate.’” “Lord and Lady Grantham I couldn’t face If I gave in and cooked such a disgrace!” “Downton Abbey is world-renown For the fine food that does abound.”
