Mike: Thanks, but that carpaccio part is real, you know.

Kathy: Either way, we’re right!

Shaker: I find the waiters at Fat Bob’s Fried Pepperoni Shack are usually more than happy to oblige with explaining the delicacies on offer.

Ahmat: Thanks! Sounds like you know your cocktails too!

Quirky: A whataburger or Hoozat pie is a great way to start the day!

Chat: Trial and definately error in the case of ulluco. Bleew.

Etta: Cheers, and sorry about the ass.

JD: Appetizers? Thanks for the tip, I’ll be sure to avoid them!

Lidian: That is the first time I’ve reminded anyone of Mr Bean! I hope.

Bee: I wonder if toes taste the same as fingers? Let us know!

Jeff: Three deseerts? You must be very rich.

MrsM: I’m on to their R&D department right now!

Steve: Hmmm, you pose an interesting conundrum. Skynard or complex jazz? I’m not sure which one I’d rather not listen to.

Larry: Bless you Larry, but sadly I neither posssess a tractor or an Olive Garden. These are hard times we live in.

you know, maybe you should just stick with goin to horrible chain restaurants like Olive Garden and TGIVomit or something that you would go to before heading out to the tractor pull and leave this type of food for those of us who are enlightened enough to appreciate it.

You sound like an uneducated redneck. The people who go to nice restaurants are usually educated and excited–why would one go and pay considerable money for something they are ignorant about? Eating is a hobby to some, so eating at a fancy restaurant is a recreation. You can’t appreciate complex jazz music if you’ve only been listening to lynyrd skynyrd.

Next time I make tuna fish casserole, I’m totally going to look for Campbell’s “organic shiitake bisque with crème fraiche emulsion” instead of their “cream of mushroom.” They make it, right?

Tiggy, that is some funny stuff! Im never ordering bisque again, lol.
It is so true about desserts. I need to order three just to fill up the plate!!

I guess I’m lucky I never get invited to go to a fancy restaurant! I always thought I was missing out but if I want raw meat, I can just eat my finger.

Tiggy, you are so funny! And ain’t it the truth, too. That was a mighty fancy restaurant you went to – too fancy for its own good, I think.

Did you ever see the Mr Bean episode where he orders steak tartare (because it was the cheapest thing there and was called steak) only to find that it is fancy raw hamburger? Your post made me think of it.

So funny. And true. Encrustations should be avoided at all costs. Did you know that in America we call “starters” “appetizers”? I always feel terribly uncomfortable in places like this. And it’s not just the desserts that are tiny — every dish is miniaturized. It’s like toy food. Give me McDonald’s any day.

Funny! Yeah, give me a Whataburger with a thick choco-shake any day over the fancy-schmancy!
