  • Clive James in one of his books – I am trying to remember which, all my books are in store – has a eulogy or poem to a chap "pudding the carp before d'oeuvres": I think proably that was James' invention not the person he wrote the eulogy for. I can't RS it but others probably could. Si Trew (talk) 12:29, 15 May 2014 (UTC)Reply
