Did you know the meaning of the term “Under the weather”…
This expression has a variety of translations.
An Americanism dating from the early 1800’s, it would seem to relate to the influence of the weather upon one’s health. It has also been suggested that it is a shortened form of the nautical phrase “under the weather bow”, a reference to the side of the ship’s bow that takes the brunt of rough seas. Thus, a member of the crew standing watch on this side of the ship is certainly going to be “under the weather”. Its first known use, referring to a hangover, was by American author Donald Grant Mitchell in his “Reveries of a Bachelor”(1850).It has also been used as a synonym for being financially embarrassed, either way by any definition not something one wants to be.
Week one of the new Spring Menu starts on Monday 18th November. Please place any orders by Thursday lunchtime.
Bon Appetit!
