Le Tout P'ti FC Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Much worse than putting a pineapple or a banana near a savoury dish happened to me today.I got a coffee on way home from school run. For reasons known only to God, they put a syrup into it. I think it was vanilla but I'm not giving it a second taste to confirm. Horrific. Really awful taste, who does this to their coffee willingly? As it was a drive through coffee, I was ten miles away before I discovered this heinous act.Quite a bad start to my day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgecutter Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 (edited) I'm in shock that beetroot in a burger is a new concept to some folk. It's excellent btw. Eta: used to get it in the 'Aussie Burger' at Roo's Leap in Montrose. Cheeseburger with beetroot, egg and pineapple amongst other things. One of the greatest dishes ever created.

Really awful taste, who does this to their coffee willingly? As it was a drive through coffee, I was ten miles away before I discovered this heinous act. Quite a bad start to my day. That seems to be quite normal now. One of my last jobs had a automatic coffee vending machine that was absolutely jam packed with different syrups and shit that people could choose from. You'd get things like spiced pumpkin sauce for Halloween, ginger and nutmeg for Christmas, etc. Speaking of which, don't ever use those vending machines. Nobody at the place I worked at bothered cleaning it properly, mainly because none of us were taught how, and the supplies we had were well out of date. There's a process you're supposed to follow where you empty the milk container daily, put in some cleaning materials, then let the machine scorch the container with hot water and run a cleaning cycle. You then rinse it out and replace with fresh milk. One of the girls had worked there for years and I discovered that she thought you just had to leave the old milk in the container and drop in the cleaning products to stop it going bad. And people had been drinking that shit for years whenever she was on the late shift. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Not a coffee drinkers myself, but I regularly have this conversation at work: Me: just going out for lunch, can I get anything for anyone? Co-worker: ooh, can you pick me up a coffee please? I'll have a grande macchiato with melted chocolate and 5mL BUT NO MORE of Belgian whipped cream, a mix of mint and basil syrups, and... Me: nope, that's not happening. Get it yourself. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, you work through your veg, then eat your potatoes, before finishing with the meat. ...somebody's going to kick off about it being disgusting to eat foods together, aren't they. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd no idea there was a term for people who put a bit of mash onto their fork with the chicken until then, but I certainly wasn't going to take that shit from someone who regularly ate Mexican food. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can think of a few terms, with food combiner pretty far down that list. Each element of the meal has its own merits and qualities and deserves to be savoured as such, independent of interference from other food items around it. I even go as far as removing the coating from my fish fingers and eating both elements separately. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's your problem, you've presented yourself as a caring and kind colleague who is happy to go the lunch run for everyone.
