To think if you bring tzatziki and crue de te to a supper club...

[Rogerbacon]

..you are being a bit tight fisted on the old comestible front

We have a supper club once a month and this week one lady turned up with tzatziki and crue de te.
On entry she proudly announced she had "home made tzatziki and crue de te"

"ooooh crue de te" I said "that sounds exciting. Whats that"

bits of raw fu@@ing veg. I mean come off it you do not turn up to a supper club with that do you?
Put some effort into it woman. I made falafal and an aubergine dish from Rick stein (forget what its called but it has a funny smelly cheese and tomato sauce on it )

She won't be asked again if she doesn't buck her ideas up next month

I say bruschetta the correct way - brus-ketta. Then I get "corrected" by waiting staff who smirk and say, "bru-sh-etta"

I've stopped pointing out that they are wrong though in case they spit on it.

Creepy, me too! I get, 'oh you mean bru-sh-etta madam?' No, I mean Brus-fucking-ketta. I know I am right

I have tried to explain that the "ch" is hard, as in "chianti" and had blank looks even though it is sold in the bloody place

"Put some effort into it woman"
Well depending on how many different sorts of vegetable she had, how many of each, how carefully she trimmed and cut them and how prettily she arranged them she might well have put in a load of effort to produce her crudites.

This is a v funny thread...

Was there any moose caca on offer in your greek bouffet?

My friends dh calls sausages dogs dicks and it put me off them for quite a while i can tell you.

We have a get together every month and each bring a dish - some people make amazing dishes and some bring 'easy' dishes so what?

I was once corrected by a waiter when I asked for the smoked salmon. It's Smoke-ed salmon, he said. WTAF?

Volley vonts - oh that made me snort :o

First time we went on holiday to France we were out for a meal and after the meal DH fancied a little digestif. He had noticed Glenfidich behind the bar so asked the waiter for one of those. The waiter looked extremely puzzled and, after DH had requested it several times, he finally pointed to the bottle.

The waiter smiled and said "Ah! Glen-fi-deesh"

Can i come?

Greggs sausage rolls and Fruitshoots

Promise

Our friends keep doing these theme parties. So annoying... We keep just bringing store bought stuff as i cannot get excited about southern fried anything, Mexican, creole... Why can't it ever be British afternoon tea or Moroccan or something i like... I would have been glad to eat the tzatsiki more than the falafel and olives etc. She could have brought taramasolata too... And pitas.... Drool...
