PM has been sent @Mi-Amigo

I’m so thankful for the deadline being extended last year. It makes it so much easy for me to submit my answers when time gets away from me. That said an extra week here wouldn’t help me because I honestly don’t know too many. 😜

So never ask for "Ossobuco saltimbocca" in the same breath in an Italian restaurant... 😂

Well done all and thanks, @Mi-Amigo 👍

Epic follow up knowledge @Mi-Amigo, both with ossobucco and prosciutto! I love @pgn sentiment you wouldn't want to order them at the same time! 😅

Quite a tough WRQ all being said so I'm not displeased with 3 in the end, well done to everyone though and I'll see you all of the next WRQ. 👋
