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!)

It will be cold now

hoots

Now you're spoiling us, Ambassador QuestionableMouse!

If someone doesn't eat something, for whatever reason, then they need to find out what else it could be named as, or in. Otherwise they are stupid, or they can't complain about it.

we had a couple who regularly purchased sour bread, then once a week would purchase the soda bread.

Then one day they explained they were vegan....

Damn I thought I fixed that auto correct - clearly not 😂😂

Fear not, I think 75% of the staff are involved in this now.

And I still have scone and tea to consume.

First staff member is heading back to the kitchen. She looks like she desperately needs a laugh.

Yes.
if you don’t eat pork for religious and cultural reasons but haven’t bothered to note that bacon is pork, you are stupid.

hth

Woman is ordering a scone.

Second worker sounds like she's explaining that bacon comes from pigs again!

Actually I have just polished off a bacon sandwich (crusty bread, with ketchup) from the greasy spoon next door to the dialysis unit. It definitely makes my three sessions a week more tolerable!

OP can you ask her why she doesn't eat pork products?

Now I want a bacon sandwich for lunch. I think I've got some in the freezer.

Funniest thread in ages
also blatantly Placemarking

YES!!

OP we need an intervention.
Think of it as a form of community support toward her husband.

Best thread in ages! 🤣

She doesn't eat pork - probably for cultural/religious reasons - in her world 'bacon' is a non pork product - so that makes her 'stupid'?

Yeah, pretty much.

It's made my wait for the car's MOT much better, honestly!

Pretty sure the husband has just said "but you've eaten bacon before"

What the actual fuck MN?? Look at the top line on their popup they've just added to this thread for me...

We were in an Indian restaurant and a group came in - the older man and his friend and his two (adult sons). The older man was loudly going in about how he’d been vegan for XX years and how he loved this restaurant.

He then ordered - and ate - paneer curry. No one mentioned it to him (so I assume they assumed it was a sort of tofu).

This reminds me of the time my eldest was a baby (I’m going back 26+ years)
wed stopped off at a cafe,that we’d never been to before-nice enough place
we ordered an ice cream sundae with ‘hot fudge’ topping
babies father sent it back as the hot fudge topping was cold

i couldn’t be with someone that thick and broke up with him not long after

ill never forget the pitiful look the owner gave me as we left

"This Vichysoisse is cold". (And yes, I know it can be served hot, but is usually not)

Tbf black pudding disgusts me and I am a bacon lover, I just can't stand black pudding. But no I wouldn't complain and no I wouldn't be so stupid to not realise bacon is indeed pork 😅

Am I the only one who will be scanning the boards for an, 'AIBU to not know that bacon is made from pigs?' thread later today?

Ummm. You really don't know what you're on about. I'm Jewish. Born and bred in an area full of Jews, Muslims, and Hindus. Not one of us would ever assume for a moment that 'bacon' didn't come from a pig.

I have friends and family with religious and medical dietary constraints they tend to be very clear what things are and in doubt ask.

I'd say this was unbelievable but I worked in a cafe and once ahs some complain their salad which was exactly as advertised with pic - apparently they weren't expecting lettice.

I also had a vegetarian wedding guests who order a fish and chicken dinner and upon questioning claim not to eat red meat then upon further polite questioning trued out she ate all red meat we could think of - but she said she was vegetarian as it was easier
