Pig's Tails and Duck Hearts - Chef's Night Out with Pitt Cue Co.

**A Traditional English Pub Experience**

As we sat down at The French House, one of London's most iconic pubs, we couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and anticipation. The atmosphere was lively, with the sound of laughter and conversation filling the air. Our host, Tom, had brought us here for a unique experience, and we were eager to see what the night had in store.

**A Delicious Barbecue**

Tom took us on a culinary journey through the traditional English pub food, starting with a barbecue that showcased the sweetness of grilled vegetables. "Doing it with the charcoal brings out so much sweetness in the vegetables," he said, as we watched him expertly grill English peas straight onto the grill. The moisture inside the peas steamed them to perfection, and we were all impressed by the simplicity yet elegance of this dish.

**A Cornish Delight**

Next up was a Cornish delicacy that had us all intrigued - barbecued chiros. We watched in awe as Tom devoured these crispy, flavorful treats, and couldn't help but wonder what made them so special. "It's yeah, delicious," he said, with a grin, "and it's one of our specialties here at The French House."

**Midget Porn and Mischief**

But the evening took an unexpected turn when Tom started watching midget porn on his phone. We were all taken aback, but Tom just laughed it off, saying that it was a funny way to start the night. "I think, to become a regular here, you've got to really like earning it," he joked. It was clear that The French House had a reputation for being a bit of a wild card.

**A Mescal Margarita Fueled Night**

As the night wore on, we found ourselves getting drunker and more rowdy. Tom pulled out a bottle of mescal margaritas, and we spent the next hour drinking and laughing together. It was clear that this was a night to remember, and one that would stay with us for a long time.

**A Visit to The French House**

Finally, after what felt like an eternity, we arrived at our destination - The French House. Tom had promised us a special experience, and we were eager to see what the night had in store. As we entered the pub, we were greeted by the warm atmosphere and the sound of laughter from the patrons.

**A Pig's Tale**

Tom took us on a journey through the world of pigs, showcasing two-year-old pigs that had been raised with care and attention. "Let's get in the restaurant mate," he said, as we made our way to the table. The pig, it seemed, was quite the star of the show.

**A Delicious Menu**

Our meal at The French House was a culinary tour de force, featuring dishes such as sourdough bread pan-fried in a little bit of dripping, ox cheek that had been smoked for eight hours or so, and pickled shiitake mushrooms. It was clear that Tom knew his stuff when it came to food.

**A Conversation with the Chef**

As we sat down to eat, Tom took us on a tour of the kitchen, explaining each dish in detail. "Yes, yes, yes, oh, you dirty bastard," he said, as he expertly chopped an onion for our salad. It was clear that Tom had a passion for cooking, and that his love for food shone through in every dish.

**A Special Request**

As we finished our meal, Tom made a special request - "Can I just remind you all that you're being filmed?" he said with a grin. We were all taken aback, but Tom just laughed it off, saying that it was part of the experience.

**A Night to Remember**

In the end, our night at The French House was one that we would never forget. From the delicious food to the mescal margaritas, and from the pigs to the midget porn - it was a night that had it all. As Tom said, "I think there's absolutely no chance of this happening again," but we knew that we would always treasure the memories of our time at The French House.
