Bon Appetit

**Bon Appetit** is the nineteenth episode of Underground Ernie.

## Plot

Millie's excited for the arrival of French chef extraordinaire Marcel Le Magnifique and is planning a special meal for him. She sees Circle at the station and asks if she could pick up some fresh vegetables for her to use, while Ernie and Mr Rails set about cleaning up the platforms for their visitor.

Circle arrives at Sprout's Organic Farm and learns that Farmer Sprout's van has broken down. She volunteers to take the vegetables to market for him, which Farmer Sprout happily agrees to. Circle returns to International Underground with carriages full of fruit and vegetables, much to Ernie and Mr Rails' dismay as they had just got the platform cleaned up. Circle leaves to pick up more vegetables, which begin stinking up her carriages.

Paris pulls into International Underground with Marcel on board. The station's in a mess and Millie's so nervous she almost burns the lunch. But Marcel doesn't seem to mind - he adores the vegetables so much that he wants to use them as ingredients in his own meals. The meal is successful and Marcel offers Millie a chance to dine in one of his own restaurants in France. Millie gladly accepts, and Marcel happily returns to France onbored Paris to make the arrangements.

At the sheds that night, Circle is happy how the day turned out, but the trains politely ask her to go for a wash-down. She declines, being too tired, and the other trains frown as they have to put up with the smell of stinky cabbages and onions all night.
