I think that Cordon Bleugh Chef is not relevant here, because this trope is about a chef who combines things that should not be used in the same dish, which is not the case here. Mrs Oxford’s grand café, soupe de poissons or caille aux raisins are not strange combinations. However, this is Lethal Chef (because Mrs Oxford has poor cooking skills) and Foreign Queasine (because her cuisine is French gourmet cuisine).
I also think that Former Regime Personnel is irrelevant. There was no regime change in the UK after the Suez Crisis and Blaney was not fired from the army because the government was more pacifist than before.
