“Chew-ma-chew” says Jenny.

Mike is standing there gesticulating with encouragement.

“Chew-ma-chew” repeats Jenny.

Mike continues to gesticulate with encouragement.

I decide to join in – “chew-ma-chew” I say.

Mike is still gesticulating but with frustration now.

“Chew-MA-chew” – says Jenny emphasising the middle syllable as if that might help.

“Try saying it fast” says Lynda who already knows the answer.

“chewmachew” Jenny and I say in unison.

“That’s it” says Lynda.

Mike is looking really frustrated at this stage and decides to go on to the second word. Two syllables, second syllable sounds like…..Mike is gesturing a bowl and eating out of it.

“DISH” yells out Mum. Somehow we manage to narrow down the second syllable to being ISH.

“So” says Barry – “We have chewmachew something ish”.

By this stage Mike looks like he’s about to leave the room in frustration, Lynda is pissing herself laughing, Jenny and I are chanting “chewmachew something ish“, Mum clearly knows the answer but is afraid to answer in fear of having to stand up and do a charade, and Dad is fast asleep.

“Tomato Relish” shouts Barry out of the middle of nowhere.

“WTF” says Jenny and I – how do you get Tomato Relish from chewmachew something ish!
