Terry-Thomas Tomatoes!

Any other Terry-Thomas fans spot that in Vault Of Horror, his character Critchit translates "Tomatoes" from the Italian meal
he's cooking for his wife Eleanor (played by Glynis Johns)?

A possible nod to his character Raymond Delaunay's menu translation (below) from School For Scoundrels?

"The brains of the calf, the liver of the chicken, the legs of the frog...the hoof of the mountain goat in jelly. Tomatoes..."
