I'll right, this BUGS ME

[nopoop]

Have you ever noticed when you go out to dinner. A place where soup and salad are served before the main course..

That they bring your salad in this wittle nine inch plate piled high with stuff and a big glob of dressing on top ??

HOW ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO TOSS IT UP ??

You can't, your reduced to pushing it around while the edges drop off on the table. If mixed well, you have more on the table then on the wittle plate.

Is there a law somewhere that prohibits resturants supplying a plate of sufficient diameter ??

Why not a bowl ??

"Would you like something with that ??"

"Yes give me a coddam big bowl so I can play with it without decorating the whole fuggin table with garbonzo beans for cripes sakes.."

AND WHAT'S WITH THE BEETS ??  I have known ONE person in my entire life that likes them. But there one is, every place I have been, right in the middle of the gob of dressing..

Is there a lobby for beets someplace ?? "I'm sorry Mr. Poop if you open a resturant you are required by law to put a slice of beet on ANY salad you serve. I'm sorry but it's a rule.."

Is there a fine if they don't  ?? Is it a Senate passed pork bill for the state with the most beets ???

"Hold the beet's" is the first thing out of my mouth after thousand island.. All though over the years it comes out more like "thousandislandholdthebeets"

Tomorrow will talk about the tiny bowls the soup comes in..

I have had radishes in my salad but not beets. I likem both but beets in a salad doesnt sound right.

Why not ask for the dressing on the side?

LOL, I get where you're coming from nopoop. When I go out to eat sometimes, I get all jacked out of shape when they bring the different courses in like 1 plate and rest in 3 or 4 different tiny bowls, and  a saucer plate with the bread on it. Why in the world can't they just put everything on the one plate except maybe the bread.

And when I do ask them to put everything on the same plate they get all huffy, puffy and whine about it. LOL!

[nopoop]

Radishes are cool. Gives good color against a clear plate. Most resturants have clear ones, displays well..

Don't be pushin my buttons DL. Are you suggesting having my dressing as a DIP on the side ???

You get a fork full of salad and sorta dip it ??

So in a sense I'm dipping for the lack of a decent sized plate ??

"Yes could I have a small bowl of dressing on the side. Being that the plate you supplied is of insufficient diameter to mix the ingrediants ??"

WHAAAAAASUPWITTHAT ??

[airbumba]

Wow , your restaurant has plates? Aren't we 'mister high fallootin fancy pants'. at least nothin was movin.  

[VWE]

Why not just stay home and make your own dang rabbit food the way you like it... u ol' sandle wearing dirt munchin tree huggin bunny kisser! You'ld rather go out and pay for the abuse than stay here and get it for free?!

[nopoop]

..VWE called me bad names



I have quite a file on you mister. Are you not also known as the "Garbonzo King" ???

Hmmmm ??

Funny how everything ties together when one has all the information..

[DipStick]

LMAO!

Don't know how many times I've sat there eating my saucer of salad thinking the same thing... hehehe.

BTW poop did you read my last post on the SS thread? If not.. do.

PS... The sad thing is when I get a saucer of salad I get 5 packs of crackers but when I actually get a huge bowl of salad they bring 1-2 packs.

I think they should just get rid of the salad altogether.

Salad ain't food. Salad is what food eats.

I'll whisper in your ear next time I see you. Oh wait, you said UP not OFF. Never mind...

Which restaurant are you talking about, Poopie? In America, I like the places where there's a long salad bar, and you compose your own salad the way you want it. Perspex screen to stop people coughing germs onto the salad, and I've even seen the busboy with a spray bottle wiping it off. OTOH, if you're talking about chains like Red Lobster, I feel your pain.

mmmmm pickled beets, yummy!  And I can live with small plates, but would like to fling ketchup bottles at the heads of inept wait staff who hear "ranch" when I say "french."

Beets in a salad??

Where are you dining, Kosovo?
