Quichey

All afternoon they have been coming in, one apiece for everybody, with the fried chicken, baked ham, and quichey dishes from the Junior League Cookbook.

• dill is another quichey spice, and either parsley or cilantro makes a tasty addition

There are a couple of soups, a hot dish, a quichey option, a salad of the day, good trad puds and that’s about it.

The daily changing – albeit firmly structured – menu will feature some sort of gourmet sausages (and for once they are) served with gravy and roast veg, plus a hot dish (maybe lamb shanks) and something quichey.

Bright with curry and fresh with the cheese, this tart has substantial texture, not remotely quichey, which is why it’s called “tourte” instead.
