Food Pet Peeves
Discussion
When you go out whether it be to a wetherspoons for a light cheap lunch or somewhere fancy, one of the things that always really bugged me is if I had a burger or sandwich and got given either end of the tomato, especially the part with the green bit.
The other thing that bugs me is when you order king prawns and the sts sacks haven't been taken out of them, hanging.
EDIT: Hahaha sorry, combination of norwegian keyboard, fat fingers and autocorrect on my phone

Agreed, it's lazy.Frozen chips in restaurants. Lazy.
Bought in mayo/tartar sauce. Lazy.
Slates and chopping boards.
Not supplying a fish knife when I'm having fish. I get a steak knife when I'm having a steak, why no fish knife?
Probably loads more, but these are the ones that instantly came to mind...

Same here. Tastes like soap. It seems our genes are to blame (apologies for the daily wail link):Makes everything taste like perfume. Go away.

It annoys me when you go in and there are lots of tables and they stick you in the window next to the fooking door or right next to the bogs.
Also annoys me when -
Waiters pour wine from a new bottle into the glass that already has some in it
99% of burgers come with bacon and I really don't think beef and bacon work
Forcing you to order from a set menu once youre a group of a certain size
Covering everything in rocket
Not describing on the menu what accompanies the dish so you have no idea if you have to order sides
Anything "deconstructed"
Korean BBQ / hotpots / steak stones etc. If I wanted to cook my own food I would have stayed at home
Service charges. Let me decide if youre worth it and how much and make sure the money goes to the staff

Or you sit at a table in an empty restaurant and the next couple that come is get put on the table right next to you.craigjm said:

I had lunch at a place that does this, ordered a steak pie, I got a steak pie. They could have said "that comes on its own, would you like to order some mash, chips or veg?"Not describing on the menu what accompanies the dish so you have no idea if you have to order sides
I agree on the onion garnish. Raw onion flavours everything. Actually, I don't see the point of garnishes at all. There's the thing with mint leaves on desserts. I hate mint. I hate the smell of mint.
Vegetables that aren't cooked. I don't want crunchy sprouts or broccoli or potatoes.
Reduced salt everything.
Chips served in baskets or plant pots or whatever. All I'm going to do is tip them out, and usually watch them scatter all over the place because my food's been served on a flat lump of wood.
