Minty Marchmont:
Hello. Welcome to Posh Nosh.

Simon Marchmont:
Hello.

Minty Marchmont:
Sunday evenings are very special to us. Come Sunday evenings we get to relax and just cook a simple dinner, and tonight we've got a rather special friend coming to dinner.

Simon Marchmont:
Supper. Not dinner; supper. Sunday evening's a time for supper.

Minty Marchmont:
Supper.

Simon Marchmont:
Supper is dinner with its shirt undone.

Minty Marchmont:

Simon Marchmont:

Minty Marchmont:

Simon Marchmont:
Supper is leftovers.

Minty Marchmont:
And today we're going to show you how to *make* leftovers.

Simon Marchmont:
We're going to do leftover roast chicken with parsnip and watercress salad leftovers, with leftover wine and leftover bread.
