Food Pet Peeves

[Puddles]

I'm pretty easy going but it just drives me nuts when I order an iced tea and they automatically put a wedge of lemon in it.

I had my lunch delivered yesterday and didn't touch the iced tea so I stuck it in the fridge. Today I go to drink it and it's got the damn lemon wedge in there. Lemon rinds are bitter and do not belong in my tea. Grrrrrrrrrr!

What are your food pet peeves?

I have to agree with you on the lemon wedge. I hate that shit. If they bring me tea with a lemon wedge in it I will send it back. The lemon just ruins the whole thing. My other thing is ordering a nice ribeye steak at a steakhouse and when they bring it to you it is an end cut. That pisses right the fuck off!

when they bring me some stemed veggies and didnt drain them and my bread or steak is floating in it.


bad service in general (i get real loud and obnoxious)

Ummm, I hate all restaurants because they all use disgusting sauces or creams and ruin perfectly good food with them. If I want my meat covered with something I will ask for it

What SC said.....:agree:

Where I work, we are to put lemon wedges on the SIDE of the glass, not in them---as a garnish. If the customer wants to use it they will.

I like my food spicy so if it isn't spicy I'll send it back and ask them to make it spicier

I hate when I ask the guy behind the counter for 25 scoops of protein in my shake and he looks at me all crazy. I usually just pull his shirt over his head like a hockey player and knee him in the face. Then I run down the road skipping.

I hate when I ask if they have sweet tea and the waiter/waitress says, "Yes we have peach tea." or some other flavored tea.

If I wanted flavored tea I would have asked for it.

I don't know why, but that bugs the shit out of me.

And Taleigh puting the the lemon on the side of the glass sucks too. Cause I always end up drinking from that part of the glass some time during the meal.

I hate not being able to get good coffee...which seems to happen to me often when travelling outside of Canada. (There is no substitute for Tim Horton's once you're addicted)

I hate when I ask for a rare steak and it comes back medium-rare. This is a BIG issue for me, as I like filet VERY rare!

I hate it when restaurants 'sneak' ingredients in that aren't disclosed on the menu....for example, sometimes veggies get drizzled with a sauce that's based on balsamic vinegar....I HATE balsamic vinegar!

I hate it when I order either pork tenderloin or rack of lamb and it is automatically cooked well-done. Don't they know that medium is perfectly okay for these meats...and actually leaves some moisture in them. Sauce is NOT a substitute for natural moisture in the meat!

Ok, done ranting now. Good thread!

I have to tell you when I was on my cruise they had some of the best, most consistent coffee I have ever drank. It was so good I drank it at each of my meals and when I came back to the states I missed it. I don't know what brand it was but it was soooooo good.

They must have been grinding up premium coffee beans fresh on board or something.
