The billionaire ancient Egyptian vampire Set almost had a heart attack (he would have if he had been a mere mortal) when he noticed his estate's food bill.
"In the name of Amun-Ra," Set swore, "we paid 4500 pounds sterling just for one single piece of fish."
"Apparently," Renfield nodded, "the fish was a 10 kilogram Empurau or Emperor fish. It's an exotic variety of fish that's found in the Malaysian province of Sarawak on the island of Borneo. It can apparently cost up to RM 6,000 in Malaysian currency or roughly $2,000 in U.S. currency. So it's no surprise that it cost us 4500 pounds sterling."
"But who the Hell ordered it?" Set asked.
"Amadeus," Renfield answered, "he's developed an appetite for Malaysian cuisine recently."
"Well please tell Amadeus to develop an appetite for a less expensive form of cuisine," Set ordered.
"Will do, sir," Renfield made a note of that on his iPad.
"By the way," Set asked, "did you or I or Athelstan get to taste a piece of this Empurau fish?".
"No," Renfield shook his head, "Amadeus ate all 10 kilograms of it by himself at one sitting."
"Amadeus," it was the voice of Amadeus's date for the evening the New Orleans singer Angelique Dumont at the front door of the mansion, "you seem to have put on a lot of weight since I last saw you."
