Det. Lt. Avery Mendelsohn: Lt. Avery: What do you say, Mrs. Fletcher? I got an appointment with the podiatrist at 2:00, but I still got time for a bite to eat.
Jessica Fletcher: Lieutenant, I haven't eaten a thing since breakfast. Come to think of it, I didn't even eat then.
Det. Lt. Avery Mendelsohn: Good. I know this deli. The guy who runs it, Max, a friend of my cousin, Sadie, he makes a lox and cream cheese platter you could die from.
Jessica Fletcher: Lox? I-Is that something like gefilte fish?
Det. Lt. Avery Mendelsohn: Mrs. F., for a bright woman, you have been leading a very uninformed life. Permit me the pleasure of educating you.

Not a very engaging episode- it's serious-toned, has some political intrigue but it lacks the liveliness and fun of other episodes. A rather dull entry, but watchable due to Angela Lansbury.
