Hi, I have unusual but important ask:). Could you do close up gifs or pictures of that food on the table in Ritz? When ineffable husbands are on dates and I would like to know what they are eating or having on the table. So far I haven´t been able to recognize much, just some tea and wine. Or do you have more information about this issue? Thank you for answer.
Their first Ritz visit we see (episode 1):
Two glasses of wine, two coffees and Aziraphale seems to be finishing some kind of a dessert that unfortunately seems to be too eaten to identify :/ :D.
Their other visit though (episode 6), oh yes, much better! :)
A lof of things, right? So what are they?
I was thinking that there was a possibility the crew ordered the food at the restaurant - now, we’ve got to keep in mind that the Ritz was not shot actually at the Ritz, but at the Criterion (known as Savini at Criterion since 2015). Unfortunately the restaurant is closed since 2018 and they webpages no longer work but I managed to find the menus from 2017 when the Good Omens series was shot and look! :)
Crowley and Aziraphale had the ‘Champagne/Martini Afternoon Tea’:
CHAMPAGNE / MARTINI AFTERNOON TEA - Scones with selection of jams and clotted cream, finger sandwiches, pastry and biscuits served with a glass of champagne.
(I kind of wish the restaurant wasn’t closed so I could save some money, someday travel there and treat myself to this - it does look amazing, doesn’t it? :))
Going back to their first visit I browsed though the Criterion dessert pics trying to identify it but had no luck. These are the desserts from the menu, so it could be one of them :)
Finally, in episode 2 (filmed at Penge Cafe, London):
Aziraphale is eating an angel cake. :)
Neil shared the bts photo of it:
And because in the book is the sentence: Aziraphale helped himself to Crowley’s slice of angel cake., my headcannon is that Crowley ordered it, ate that lil’ corner bit, and then gave it to Aziraphale :).
