It would never offend me because I would much rather have my guest happy than forcing down food, but I know not everyone looks at it that way. <BR/><BR/>I probably would have sent it back anyway, but that is me. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31480408.post-77421494568775794142008-04-08T00:25:00.000-04:002008-04-08T00:25:00.000-04:00my oldest (18 year old boy) says that I ask so man...my oldest (18 year old boy) says that I ask so many questions - that I can't go back anywhere a second time.<BR/><BR/>My husband is often ordering fish and then very surprised when it is served fried (in Indiana, one should never be surprised by this). <BR/><BR/>It has happened to him so many times that I now know to pipe up and say - how is that fish prepared???, when he orders.<BR/><BR/>I think the term "salad" when it is mixed with mayo is a real mislabel. When it is mixed with mayo (chicken, tuna, egg, and now I guess we are adding lobster to the list) - it definitely should be called something else.<BR/><BR/>I also think that most menus are worded very imprecise.Vickiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05452333714845476967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31480408.post-38495054228180860982008-04-07T22:59:00.000-04:002008-04-07T22:59:00.000-04:00YES. :( I still find myself doing it at times. ...YES. :( I still find myself doing it at times. You know, trying to fit in, not wanting to draw attention to my "new and stringent eating demands." blah. Sorry that you had to put on the brave face for your dad. On the bright side - tomorrow is a new day. One without seafood salad. :)Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12218693906162990875noreply@blogger.com
