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!)

Unfortunately I don't have a satisfying conclusion for you all. Husband came back in she wrapped her scone up and they've just left! 😕

I need to shift too unfortunately!

I've just spent 20 mins reading this hooked, I should be working and now I'm behind 😂😂😂😂😂

Thank you for such a marvellous thread, @QuestionableMouse !

My mind went here straightaway, too! 🤣🤣

Regularly went to a sandwich shop with a colleague who would regularly order a BLT without the bacon but with cucumber and spring onion and the counter staff would regularly respond "a salad sandwich?" She would always respond with "no, a BLT with cucumber and spring onion instead of bacon"

People pointed out the ingredients of her salad choice were exactly what she was requesting, she persisted in ordering it her way.

nobody goes to a cafe expecting turkey "bacon" when you order a bacon sandwich.... jesus christ.

She has scone?

OP has scone as she has a prior non-bacon sandwich-related appointment.

Well I feel a little dumb now, as a life long veggie (because Im allergic to a protein in most meats) I for some reason always though Black Pudding was made from sheep (sheep stomach with blood and rice I thought).

Now I feel like 9 pages of people are laughing at me for not knowing my breeds of meat lol.

Clearly, she expected something other than a pork product, so there is at least one person in the world - this woman - who expected something other than what is normally understood by 'bacon' - so it is inaccurate to say 'nobody' does this, unless you believe the OP invented the whole scenario.

I worked with a Jewish woman years ago. Her husband kept kosher but would also eat spare ribs!
She thought he assumed they were beef and wasn't going to correct him

Really enjoyed this 😂

You can get a white coffee- Americano with milk or white Americano. Its what I always drink.

Right but presumably he'd have to ask for a cappuccino without foam but with (flat) milk to get that rather than just a cappuccino without foam? Neither of which are a cappuccino...

I would have thought if you asked for a cappuccino without foam you'd just get an espresso?

Black Pudding was made from sheep (sheep stomach with blood and rice I thought

You are nearly right. What you have described is a little bit like haggis.

Haggis is a sheep stomach filled with offal, oatmeal, onions, suet, seasoning and spices

would that not just be a hamburger?

Mcdonald do a cheeseburger (has cheese) and hamburger (same thing without cheese).

Oh for goodness sake, why does everything become a pulpit opportunity? Bacon was originally from pigs, other derivatives are relatively new and have always been indicated on menus.

Find a different hill to die on, this is getting a bit much now.

Yes, low intelligence would be top if the list.

I dislike black pudding, when OH was still alive I would cook his black pudding in a different pan but if I were this woman I would simply remove the speck from my bacon butty and get on with enjoying it.

Not correct. There are well known issues in some areas with meat being sold under misleading descriptors:

Do the bacon sandwiches come with the option of fried onions?

Or as clever as the average tree frog.
