I'm an Aussie, and had landed in America for a holiday. Was really hungry and figured I'd just get a Quarter Pounder meal from Maccas at the airport. Order a Large meal because that's what I'd normally get at home. They bring out like a litre of coke, a gigantic box of fries, and the burger. It was absolutely atrocious.
Many many years ago. I did some work in Texas. We go into this sit down place. Now, having been caught by the huge portions a previous evening I'm cautious. I just order a chicken burger. The waitress is all like "Oh are you sure, just the chicken burger on its own?" I'm thinking, oh well maybe things are normal size at this place. I order some fries to go with it.
Some time later the chicken burger arrives completely filling the full size plate it came on, and the fries came on an entirely separate plate.
I'm not a small guy, but I could not eat all that.
It's funny, because usually when the fries aren't included at a sit-down place it's because the restaurant is trying to squeeze a couple extra dollars out of you (maybe the sandwich is $2 cheaper than you'd expect but then you pay $5 for the fries because of course you want fries!). That stinginess mentality seems to go hand in hand with a smaller than average sandwich. But maybe my fat American ass can't scale portion sizes.
I was in some European city and there is one Chinese restaurant serving hot pot. So I wanted to try it. I ordered and selected the items I want for around 50€. The waitress asked me : "is that all? Do you want the menu?". So I was wondering if I didn't order enough. At the end, what I ordered was enough for at least 3 people. I was in a table for 4 people and it was full with all the dishes. The waitress then asked me if she need to bring a bowl of rice!
They brought the sauces and there was garlic on the plate. The odor ruined the whole meal for me. I couldn't eat most of it and I was disappointed as I don't like wasting food.
The smell of garlic ruined your appetite? Do you have some kind of disorder? The smell of garlic is amazing!
No I eat garlic but the one they put in the plate has a bizarre odor.
Sure you do...
Too late to change your story now, Draccie.
I was in some European city
Yup, they were trying to cover for it being Transylvania and they just hadnt bothered to learn any of the city names around them.
Dracula confirmed.
