In a cafe, and a woman has just complained (funny)

She'd ordered a bacon sandwich and it's just been delivered to the table. She's now moaning because her bacon sandwich has a tiny crumb of black pudding on it. And she doesn't eat pork.

I feel for the poor staff having to explain which animal bacon comes from 😬

(And no, there's no vegan bacon on the menu so not a mix up!)

Except that's not quite the story. The OP embellished. There is NO RELIGION who would not know that bacon is from swine.

The Op did not embellish, the OP reported what the woman said. The only ones embellishing, twisting and making up every increasing bizarre scenarios are you and one other poster.

Better than a parking thread.

Nothing is better than a parkin thread.

sorry. Guy Fawkes night always reminds me of our neighbour who always served her legendary parkin at the street bonfire party .

Ok, so I'm wrong. I'm an idiot.
The lady with her bacon sandwich was wrong. She's an idiot.

Haw haw haw

Woop. Finally I can get on with my life.

You got there in the end, so you get kudos for admitting it.

Now, that “degree”?

You say there’s no religion that wouldn’t know bacon is from pigs…

Ok. By your own logic, that suggests this woman doesn’t follow a religion then, doesn’t it? It’s you who has been shoehorning religious misinformation into this thread, not us. And you’ve belligerently stuck to your made up nonsense even when told the facts by a Jewish poster.

Ergo, this woman simply didn’t know pigs make bacon. Ergo, she’s a bit daft. Ergo, us having a chuckle at her expense is not in your insane conclusion us laughing at religious beliefs.

I still can’t see how you landed there.

This thread started out funny and has now descended into complete and utter madness. It's sorted out what I'm having for my (very late) lunch though 😏

Can't eat that. It's got vegetable matter in it, & I'm not a vegetarian ...

Right. Before I head back to the Peppa and Bingo thread in The Litter Tray I have to know what degree this is.

Is it Peppa as in pig though?

Just for clarity, chicken is from chickens.

Are you sure she ordered a bacon sandwich?
She doesn't eat pork
Her husband said 'but you've eaten bacon before'
She returned it for a scone

Ineverpromisedyouarosegarden · 15/11/2022 15:09

This reminds me of the pub I worked in. Customer returned the next morning to complain about the brand of tonic water we served. Apparently it gave her an awful headache. No mention of the fact she was mixing it with Gin. Hmm

WinterLobelia · 15/11/2022 15:09

As an aside my mum makes kosher 'pork scratchings' using goose skin.

Those are pretty awesome. (We call them goose scratchings though just to be clear. Don't want to start another argument!).

It might have been this one.... but maybe not.

For someone educated to degree level @PaidthepiperTuneismine you seem remarkably unable to read and comprehend a very short, simple opening post.

PaidthepiperTuneismine · 15/11/2022 15:11

You're the very ones who ousted Jeremy Corbyn for being antisemitic? Same people? Yeah?

CitizenofMoronia · 15/11/2022 15:11

Well.... that escalated quickly.....

I had that when I worked in a pub. A guy walked in indignantly (with his missus who he had not been with the night before) to say we had poisoned him and we clearly did not clean our lines, ever. This guy had been removed for drinking about 15 pints and being an absolutely reeling mess. It was so much fun pointing that out and offering to pull up the CCTV for him to help fill in the gaps in his memory.

3 year degree vs born into and following a religion your whole life. Hmmm…🧐

Now you are being thick @girlmom21
EGGS are from chickens, as any fool knows. Except easter-celebrating religious types, who cannot be expected to know that eggs are not make of chocolate.

I hope that clears everything up for you. It's really very simple. I won't name the religion concerned, because ... Reasons.
