Things You Don't Expect to Hear in a Restaurant

[Scunner]

On our recent lodge break we used the on-site restaurant for one of the nights - it seemed (and was) ok and these places are generally quite remote so it's exceptionally handy just to walk 100 metres rather than drive for half an hour.

Very friendly staff and we all chose our meals with a nice waitress taking our orders, chatting away. One meal came with "pepper mash". When it arrived it tasted odd - nice odd, not off odd   - but nice in a nothing like pepper way. So we asked the waitress if she knew what was in it. She didn't and said she'd ask the chef.

Impressively she went straight to the kitchen and was soon back with an answer.

"He says it comes in like that"...

Same happened to us in a restaurant in Calis, my friend had mashed potatoes with her meal.  It tasted really odd, not nice odd.  When we paid the bill the waiter asked what was wrong, she said it wasn't very nice and what was in it.  He said "nothing special we just add water and butter to the powder".

We went to a pub restaurant. I complained about the pint of bitter I was served (it looked like one of those snow scene paperweights you shake up). The barmaid took offence and said; "There nothing wrong with the beer. It's probably just a dirty glass".

In most brewery owned pubs in the UK food 'just comes in like that' hence the cheap price (but still VERY profitable to the business) and hence also the proliferation of 3663 lorries on our roads, the only freshly cooked items coming from the grill (steaks, burgers etc) But it doesn't half come out quick ! You pays your money and you takes your choice (I prefer Angela's home cooking myself    )

Why on earth would anyone take the front entrance to their home with them when going out to a restaurant, & then expect a parking space for it ??
