Interesting series of posts here. Yes, Trotters can be intimidating - but, I too would have to agree with Gordon - admit up front that you are inexperienced and the staff will bend over backward to make you feel comfortable. One of these days I'll have to relate the story of eating at the kitchen table one night when one of our party found a piece of plastic wrap that had not been removed from his sunchoke & asparagus terrine. Mr. Trotter was not pleased! (By the way- I mention this only because it appeared in two separate posts- the word is g-a-l-l not g-a-u-l ... though the mind reels at the jokes inherent in this particular homonym!)
