...to think that the orange segment handed to me on a plate along with the hot lemon-scented towel at the end of my meal in the local Indian restaurant should not have been previously sucked by a person unknown to me?

No.

Thought not.

Obviously, you're gonna have to give us more...come on, give us all the gory details..

Well it was pretty straightforward really. Two orange quarters (peel-on) on a plate.....one plump and juicy and the other clearly, obviously sucked. You could see the teeth marks, FFS

pmsl

very funny title

eeeewwwwwwww.
what did you say / do?

God some people are just so pernickety.

It's the credit crunch. Times are hard.

pmsl

They could have at least introduced the unknown person

Standards eh.

lol at cornsilk

lol.

It'd be funnier if they'd left their set of teeth in the segment too

I'm a little ashamed to admit I did nothing. They are lovely people and it was a very quiet night and I just felt sorry for them. Like cornsilk said....times are hard!

They would probably have wanted to know though wouldn't they?....... that it had slipped through quality control I mean?

Will you be going back there?

Yes, we'll go back, and I shall just covertly lick the orange pieces, knowing that the extremely good-looking bloke on the corner table may well suck on them later.

Saucy!

Ewww ...

We recently had cucumber slices which had clearly been bitten.

I dread to think how common this is.

Well I gues the government is urging us all to reduce food wastage.....

Apparently uneaten salad garnish is washed and re-used in some places. ( I know quite a few waitresses).

I so don't want to know that platypussy!

Gross! There has to be rules against that!

yeuch

makes me think fondly of my lidl's catfud

but some oranges are like that, aren't they?
they've sprung a leak when still wrapped in their skin and gone all dry and wizened.

But yeuch.

Yet another good reason to not eat the salad.

I thank you.

platypussy is right - i used to be a waitress!

My hubby used to destroy all salad garnish that was on his plate, ie rip petals off rose shaped garnish etc.

Now I know why.
