Dinner at The Piccadilly hotel - 1924

I recently managed to get a fantastic little book by the writer 'Diner-out', a gourmand who quite obviously had abit of money to spend, it is a critique book containing the menus of the restaurants and the authors views on them. Money and the actual meals don't come like this anymore. This is the bill of fare for one man and one meal, on a normal night! Cost £2/1s/6d, he also drank 1 bottle of Louis Roederer 1911 champagne costing £1/5s. With inflation doubling the value of things every 7 years, that's 7 doublings since 1924. I reckon that's about £290 as of 2013!
