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

[QuestionableMouse]

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!)

You called me narrow minded for suggesting BACON is BACON. That's really stupid.

Bacon - noun

cured meat from the back or sides of a pig.

In UK it is standardly pork.
I am not British, travelled, spent time with in laws in ME and even they know bacon, unless in hala place or specified is pork....

Who'd have thought, that a post about a person's confusion regarding pig meat, could be interpreted in so many different ways? Mind blown.

Giving the "cultural differences" posters, and I suppose by extension, the bacon lady in question the benefit of the doubt, for a second. If you have made this faux pas in public, why the hell do you double down instead of apologising for your mistake and admiting that every day is a school day? (Well, most people know this by nursery, never mind school!)

If I'd made such a ridiculous mistake, I'd be embarrassed and apologise profusely.

I also don't assume bacon is from pig only, because quite often it isn't.

I think you will find that in 99% of cases in a cafe, especially a greasy spoon cafe in this country it will be @WowserBear. In fact unless it states otherwise I would go so far as to say in 100% of cases.

@WowserBear , if I ordered a bacon butty and it wasn't pork I would complain as that the norm in this country
If its not pork I would expect them to state that on the menu

Sorry but I laughed out loud at this. Could you sound anymore pompous. A world wide nomad, please 😂. RTFT, all your “salient” points have been discussed to death.

Alright matey calm down.

Yeah you're right 😂

😂But OP's experience didn't happen in many countries.
It happened in a British greasy spoon. To a middle aged white British woman.

It wasn't even black pudding. It was burnt bread.

Where is the evidence she didn't do this? The OP hasn't reported any specific conversation after the original mistake was explained.

Lucky for everyone that the "black pudding" turned out to be burnt bread roll edge.

Bacon isn't necessarily pork? Heard it all now.

So vegan black pudding then?

I bet that's a thing

It is!

Would that not just be oats?

I don't look stupid - I am a world wide Nomad with experience of other cultures
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

You are a world wide twit who has just made herself look ... stupid.
That, or you are pulling PP's pork leg with your pretentious nonsense.

Seems vegan black pudding is a thing - now I'm wondering if it's any good.

@QuestionableMouse Hi. As the only witness, in your opinion, do you think bacon lady was apologetic when it was pointed out that bacon was low and behold, a pig product? Or did she continue to debate this and blag a free scone as a bribe to shut her up? From your posts it sounded like the latter, but @AnApparitionQuipped wants evidence. You're my best hope to satisfy this!

Ooh you can get the first one in Adsa, I might take a look next time I'm there

The UK is not the centre of the World.

Tell that to the Greenwich Meridian.

Teehee

Veggie hagis is really good. Nearly as good as the real thing.
