On Saturday, when ordering lunch in "The Greek", my companion ordered
the goat stew, saying that she hadn't eaten goat before, so I reminded
her that in 1971, in Dili, East Timor, she had eaten roast goat as the
"dish of the day" in the cheap, Chinese-Portuguese hotel where we were
staying at that time, and that the waiter had tried to pretend it was
lamb.  It was good, though.  In my mind's eye I could still see that
dish, with a light gravy over the slices of meat.

Nancy then threatened to move to another table if I didn't shut up!
Perhaps she thought I would continue with other reminiscences, for the
entertainment of my eldest daughter, who was mightily amused...

As you say, memory is a tricky thing.
