Trinity High Table

[jack]

Trinity high table food (and wine) really is very good. I add it to my list of recommendations :)

I'll blog later about the evening. It was good to see people again, though I don't think any had gone to become programmers rather than london-types. Afterwards, despite not having gowns, we wandered down to say hi to people in borders and help ourselves to Potter.

Has their coffee improved at all? The third worst cup of coffee I ever had in my life was at Trinity College.

I'm afraid I don't know, I don't have a proper baseline. It seemed perfectly nice coffee but nothing special; but I'm not a great connoisseur and was even less so four years ago :) High table food is traditionally good; and normal formal hall ok, but tragically informed by cafeteria standards, were you eating on high table?

No; I was handed a cup of coffee by a student. I know not the provenance of the coffee, alas.

For information, the worst cup of coffee I ever had was in Weston-super-Mare. My mother upended hers into a potted plant. History does not record whether or not the plant survived this traumatic experience...

Was it after dinner in hall or something like that? If it was just a student wandering around giving people coffee he might have been mentally ill, or a mathmo. If mass produced, I'm not surprised it was a little ad-hoc, but amused it was *that* bad.

I did wonder about the other worst cups. (And what was the second worst?) But decided I probably didn't *want* any more experience with awful coffee :)
