coprolite Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 I find that laughing heartily at family members mispronouncing the Italian for lamb helps control my own anxiety about paying and ensures a nice quiet evening with none of that conversation muck. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeartsOfficialMoaner Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 @BFTD neurodivergent My nephew must be similar to your son, he had some funny eating habits, still has. I would watch the strange things sometimes if we were all eating together and wonder what he was doing but what I didn't know was that he was also watching me and then one day he asked me if there was anything I would not eat. It was the way he said it, like he was confused. It was funny, he is funny. He is 18 now and he is starting to try different stuff a little at a time. Before, for an example, if he wanted chicken it had to be cooked and left on a plate on its own and it was his chicken and that was that or he would not touch it. Doesn't matter, it's only food. I am happy with the way he is. He is a good guy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coprolite Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 There’s a guy at my work who’s “gluten intolerant” but doesn’t understand gluten so makes ordering an arseache. Rice? Can’t have that because of the gluten. Nor Nachos. Fine with a beer or six though. Because that doesn’t have much though. He’s probably gen z but I don’t know the gen rules. Younger than me and I’m an “x”. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Work out which nationality's most overrepresented in Torontonian kitchens. ETA - this did bite me in the arse once when I ordered chilaquiles at a diner and was given a weird sort of loaf of American cheese and sadness. The tomatillo sauce - which you only got a thimbleful of - was great and suggested the kitchen knew what they were doing but that it was a management decision to have them send out a plateful of depression. Yah good point, Here in Ottawa it's definitely the Lebanese community that runs and works in most of the restaurants so that's a good standby 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Younger than me and I’m an “x”. My son has an allergy to some protein or other that’s in cows milk. You don’t really get “dairy free” here so we are in the habit of asking for vegan options when we go anywhere with him. He doesn’t quite understand the concept either. It’s quite funny when he eats a hamburger and tells people he’s okay to eat beef because it’s vegan. Then again, he is 3 and a half. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both of these ring true because it's not a potato, it's essentially a turnip or parsnip. It's also rank rotten. It's far, far too sweet to go with anything really in my experience. Funny seeing menus advertising you 'upgrade' to sweet potato fries for £2 more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
