Food Sookery
Having dinner last night with a 'Food Sook' was quite an experience. Not just a food sook, but a food ignoramus.
He ordered chicken and rice. Something came out that he thought was chicken and rice, he ate about half of it, when we realised we were missing a salt and pepper calamari. We looked at his meal. We ask him if his meal could possibly be it. He looks down, chews the food in his mouth thoughtfully... 'uuum, maybe'.
He hands the meal over.
It's salt and pepper fish.
Which mean's another of our dining group is eating something that's not his, but at least he's eating the same species as he ordered.
So then we realise that we're missing a chicken and rice, and a salt and pepper calamari.
Our food sook's meal comes out, and he then refuses to eat it because all of the bits of food are touching the other bits of food. I mean, really. Am I the only one who is just bamboozled by this idea?
We didn't make him pay for dinner. If you can't tell the difference between fish, calamari, and chicken, the world needs to take pity on you.

sounds more like a food numbskull as well, not knowing whats what.
Guy at work's a food numbskull as well, we've gone out for lunch and had fries with a soy mayo. He hadn't had it before and enjoys it, so has it several more times. We go to another place which also has it, so he tries it, but doesn't like it as much. He then exclaims "the soy sauce they put in this mayo isn't as good as the one they have in the other."
I sit gobsmacked, and decide its not worth my time to explain.
Im sure there will be many more stories like those above.
