What does this even mean?

On the way back from work this morning, I was on a bus in Central London that passed the site of a new development at the bottom end of Regent Street. Amongst its supposed 'attractions' was that it will offer 'Bespoke Concept Dining'. What the hell does that word salad mean? The best guess I can come up with is that people with far more money than sense will be able to buy miniscule portions of snail foam ice cream at a price that would feed the average family for a week. An incontrovertible argument for expropriation, as far as I'm concerned.

1620 edit: Reading back, the phrase 'word salad' in this context might be seen as a witty pun on my part. Sadly, it was purely accidental!

Love & best wishes to all

  1. HAHAHAHAHA! Word salad! I'll tell you who: The MARKETING people! Make it sound expensive and they could serve stale dog snot with caramel drizzled over it, and some schmuck will buy it from them!

    Peace <3

    1. Hello Jay
      Yes, as ever, fools and their money are soon parted. But even pretentious marketing claptrap should at least have some vague connection to the English language, rather than just being a pile of random words.
