Thrifty British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher tried to offer the cheapest menu option during a banquet for dignitaries in China — but backed down when she was told her guests would feel slighted by the absence of sea slugs or shark fin soup.

Personal papers released Friday show the extensive preparations for Thatcher's important trip to China in September 1982. It was the first visit by a British leader to the communist country, and was to include sensitive talks on the future of the British colony of Hong Kong.
