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!)

I would specify that "pork" is actually a name for pig meat, just to be on the safe side. Who knows but there might be sheep pork, or cow pork or axolotl pork out there somewhere.

Who knows.

Are you SURE about that @QuestionableMouse ?

Unfortunately cat milk is prohibitively expensive - we all know they're notoriously difficult to herd, and the cost of the protective equipment required by cat milkers really makes it unviable.

The pink milked yak,

Pink.

Milk.

PINK!!!!!

@ErrolTheDragon they might be difficult to herd but it’s because they’re spirited

as a glomad I’ve honed my cat herding skills from living in various places over the years. Shame you’re totally ignorant to these things.

It does worry me when food comes with something else on it, as it means they clearly share cutlery between food items in the kitchen - which is hugely worrying for anyone with allergies.

This situation is ridiculous, though.

@usernamealreadytaken and ErrolTheDragon for the Stornaway black pudding recommendation - I shall now keep an eye out for it.

In other news, in the last few years I've developed an allergy to bacon (but not black pudding). Think it's the curing process but not sure.

I can gives some hope I started reacting to raw banana in my 20s - like cooked are bananas common but I could eat with no issue when I happened upon them - it started tingling lips and tongue and by time I tried to stop it was feeling like a swollen tongue.

A few years of abeyance from banana and I could eat again no issue and still decades late -mid40 haven't had a recurrence.

That's odd - I don't know if it's my connection which is playing up but I pre viewed that corrected spelling and sentences and yet it's posted the original message.

She was half right. It's lamb until its first birthday, so a lot of what is sold as lamb is cutting it a bit fine.

Glorious. Thanks for this.

I have a friend who did something at a sort of carvery pub, with what they thought was bread sauce. Turned out to be horseradish.

Thanks for that, l've been vegetarian for over 30 years, but never liked red meat anyway, certainly never ate lamb! Or mutton...

You had to mention the pink milk didn't you @Emotionalsupportviper

Despite knowing full well it's going to cause PP of no religious knowledge to lecture practitioners of long-established religions about what their practices around BLOOD.

Badly done, Emo Emma. Badly done. 😂

When I worked in McDonalds one of my colleagues didn't eat bacon because she didn't eat pork.
I felt really bad when I had to tell her that the sausage in her McMuffin was in fact pork.
I really burst her bubble

I can only assume you have not RTFT @GloomyDarkness
If you had, you would recognise your own woeful lack of World-Wide Nomadry & realise you had only yourself to blame for this self-imposed banana abeyance.

Obviously, you were allergic the Guatemalian banana. Had you only globetrotted more instead of wasting your years earning enough bread to buy, erm, bananas, you could have been dining out on the Costa Rican banana, which is well recognised by the World-Wide trustafarians cognoscenti as being ... less spirited.

@KettrickenSmiled you are right I should have recognised it was the Surrey banana causing all my issues and hot footed it to sunny countries and tried the many other varieties I'm vaguely aware exist but have never had pleasure of
eating yet.

On plus side have found an on-line butchers selling Stornaway black pudding gifts sets - so that's one birthday present for a family member sorted ( possibly more )and I know where to go when I'm more cash rich and ready to explore all the black pudding possibilities out there.

What's vegan bacon? I mean bacon is bacon. Isn't that just a slice of tofu or something else

@NearlChristmas - if you’d read the thread Nearl you’d know that bacon could be anything and everything and we must never assume it will just be pork 😁

I DID! 😂😂😂

I did have to mention it, because that's the sort of viper I am - goady, provocative and dead keen to throw a theological rat among the MN pigeons! 😜)

I'm eagerly awaiting a huge religious crusade, possibly with the burning of a few heretics (helps keep the heating bills down which is an added bonus)!

There have been a few posters on here who have made me long for the days you could start a thread about something silly without it immediately turning into a competition to see who could be the most humourless ultra-woke self-righteous tw*t with a tedious putdown. I want to see them at each other's throats!

<gets comfy>

<opens popcorn>

Let the games begin!!!

Gin, anyone?

I can't believe you people talking about milk haven't mentioned nut milks. How nuttist of you.😭

Aww @QuestionableMouse where were you? Was it’s TK’s in Stokesley? They’re known to have strange folk attend on the regular 😂😁

It's due to my woefully monocultural biases @ClaudineClare

I need admonishment. It's what this thread's all about!

OAT MILK IS MILK.

Mind you, milking the little bastards is really fiddly.

I expect another Sister from the Order of Our Lady's Funsponges will be along shortly to explain why mocking batshittery is batshitteryist because someone utterly unrelated to the conversation once went batshit and they're a Buddhist who ate Jelly Babies.
