Bittersweet Candy Bowl

Have you ever gotten a sandwchich of some kind at a nicer reseraunt and asked for it without certain things it usually comes with on it, then when you get it, it has all that stuff on the side of the plate anyway? What’s up with that? I said I didn’t want it, so I’m obviously not going to eat it, and I don’t think many people change their minds and decide they want it after all mid-sandwhich. So why bother? Isn’t that a waste of food?

They anticipate you might change your mind or might want to add it in different quantities or to other things. Me, I add salsa to everything.

Well at least they give it to you while my local burger joint ALWAYS forgets something in my order and I never realize it until I’m already on the road again. By then I’m either late for something or too lazy to go back (mostly lazy)… Oh and ya, that also annoys me when the restaurant dose that. Makes me feel like I didn’t eat enough when I see all the leftovers on my table.

I once ate out at this pretty fancy restaurant right? I was traveling abroad and this show was in an hour so I thought I could eat something. Either way, I got my outside table, where I could see the countryside in all its glory, and took a look at the menu. When I looked at the menu, I saw they had ‘grilled cheese sandwich’ as an appetizer. I said to myself, “what the hell, I haven’t had a good cheese sandwich in a while(since my early childhood I loved the hell out of American easy cheese packets, but I couldn’t find them in the cold harsh wasteland that is Sweden)”. I ordered and waited for my sandwich. I waited. Aaaaaand waited. And waited some more. Soon 45 minutes had gone and I saw neither hide nor hair of a waiter. I had to go in, ask them for my goddamn grilled cheese sandwich, and wait 5 minutes. They came out with my cheese sandwich and after I took it I said: “if this isn’t the best damn sandwich I ever did taste, expect consequences.” After I took a bite, I realized it was the same crap that I could make at home, hell what I made at home was better. So I hopped over the fence close to my table and ran out of there without paying. This is the story of the 50 minute sandvich. I did make my show though!

To be Honest,The first thing i thought of when i saw this topic was

part of it is because they don’t other customers seeing what you have on your plate, and thinking that that is all you get for your money.

I like to order my dinners without sides fairly often, since I’m usually not hungry at that time of night, and they always cover up the empty parts of the plate with chips or something cheap to make it look like a full meal to everyone else.

HOLY CRAP, YOU MADE A THREAD ALL ABOUT ME!!! Dawwww you so sweet. But really wasting a Sandvich should be a punishable felony across the whole world.
