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!)

Same here - I am quite happy to eat offal (not tripe, though), but I can't get away with haggis.

Bu how can anyone describe bacon as "challenging"? It is inviting to the point of being seductive . . . my tastebuds are quivering now!

I agree - it's definitely hormonal.

<nods wisely>

Have you tried rubbing half a raw potato on it? Or a bit of Sudocrem?

I know that maccies in muslim countries usually says chicken strips or similar. I saw beef bacon specified in some and some shops. Well I went through 4 only so far and obviously not every supermarket. 😂 no nomad here.
Asda here is selling Macon

I've spent YEARS battling with the tin opener and only discovered a few months ago that the handle splits in half to make it easy to pop on and off. No one told me this!!

I have a corner wall cupboard in the kitchen. I spent a couple of decades standing on a stool to try reach in and put stuff around the corner by feel...until the day I found quite by accident that the folding door opens fully. So there's two of us.

Of course you'd check.

Your sense of humour bypass was successful, I see.

[wanders off to look more closely at annoying corner cupboard in kitchen]

Sorry I didn't pick that up at all. My mistake.

No worries!
My post wasn’t very clear.

Checked Tunisian Carrefour.

Do you ever just, laugh? serious question. What do you find funny. I don’t need a sanctimonious list of everything you don’t, just what is your sort of sense of humour?

I really, REALLY object to you defending my religion and my ethnic minority with your inane, half-assed virtue signalling.

I do not need your cos-playing 'protector of the offended' on my my behalf along with implying that I do not know what bacon is made of because my ethnicity or country of origin makes me ill-informed and unable to understand the culture of the country that I now reside in.

Be kind my arse. You are serving yourself and telling everyone else all about how kind you are.

What’s that?

I did try turkey bacon when I first saw it in the shops. I decided I’d prefer to have the real stuff instead, just less often. I’ve fortunately got a connection to a dodgy imam who’ll say it’s halal if I buy him a pint.

Mutton bacon. It's like streaky bacon. Tastes nice. Asdas with halal sections have it.

I can't abide by turkey.

👏

I've seen 'turkey bacon' and even 'beef bacon' abroad but whenever I have just seen the word 'bacon' it is always pork.

Though I'm not as worldly as some posters on here

Superbly well said.

What a very eloquent post @Haffiana

Very well said

Well said @Haffiana. It's infantilising, look at me virtue signalling par excellence.

What, the burnt crumb of bap that it turned out to be?

I've seen it in hotels in Oman and the Maldives. It was just labelled "bacon" but was clearly turkey bacon (despite being hotels aimed at foreigners).
But I don't buy that someone who lives in the UK and speaks with a local accent is unaware that "bacon" here means pork, unless it says vegan bacon, turkey bacon etc.

Mutton bacon. It's like streaky bacon. Tastes nice. Asdas with halal sections have it

Ooh really? must try that. Don't really like turkey bacon.

Hmm. Although I’ll try most things once, I think I’ll give that one a pass.

Hahahahaha! This is WONDERFUL.

@MrsDanversGlidesAgain and @WinterLobelia - you are my tribe. We can sit in the corner with the annoying cupboard and laugh.

I haven't made any reference at all to your religion or ethnicity. I suggested that the woman in the cafe might not eat bacon for various reasons, including amongst them ''cultural' reasons' but also possible reasons of learning difficulty, dementia, or ill-health. I haven't said anything about anyone's country of origin making them ill-informed. Are you confusing me with another poster on the thread?

The poster I was quoting above suggested some posts were offensive and should be removed by the moderators, but at the same time was laughing at them - I suggested if they thought they were offensive, they should report them, not laugh at them/with them.

I am defending the woman in the cafe. I have seen someone very dear to me be mocked in very similar situations, due to mistakes made through dementia - I can and will defend anyone who is vulnerable and being mocked, regardless of the reason.

You don't have to agree with me, but you have no right to twist my words to other posters as some kind of personal attack-defence of you personally.
