all yours. and @bugduv GO FUCK YOURSELF!

Slow eaters are the worst. Hurry up you fuck, I don’t want to sit here watching you eat.

#21

Lonz what’s your opinion on people asking for a break between courses? My in-laws do it all the time and it does my head in. Get really anxious that it’s just sitting under a hot lamp for 45 minutes because my father-in-law’s bruschetta was ‘quite filling’.

#22

if I eat really quickly there’s a chance I can get more food

#23

hope this one is open to the floor? reckon you should have a 15-20 minute break between courses. a) to smoke and b) to smoke another one

seems like a very broitish thing to eat 3-4 courses one after another

#24

Happy to take questions from the floor. But 15-20 minutes is fairly standard isn’t it. I’m talking about asking the waiting staff for a break and then letting them know when to commence bringing out the second course.

#25

yeah, that’s the height of arrogance. fuck that

#26

smoking between courses?

shame

#27

I’m always the last one to finish my meal because I eat so slowly. Annoys me at buffets, because then it just makes me look like I’m eating so much more than anyone else.

#28

In a restaurant? Fuck that.

At home, retiring to the sofas for some drinks before dessert is perfectly acceptable, especially if you have been gorging yourself.

I tell you what is a problem though is that if you go out as a couple and the food comes really quickly and you don’t want coffee and then bang you are out of there in an hour!

#29

fuck you on about, pal?

#30

Yep, way too fast.

#31

Think this is what my in-laws try and counteract. I need a happier medium though. Might only exclusively dine at restaurants offering elaborate tasting menus from now on. McDonald’s Saver Menu for instance.

#32

I wouldn’t say arrogant but definitely short-sighted.

#33

Why do restaurants take your starter and main order at the same time? The fuckers. Maybe it should be outlawed for groups under six.

#34

arrogant as in thinking that all the people working in the kitchen banging out hundreds of orders will be happy to pander to your specific needs

#35

But there’s my worry, that it’s already in the process of being cooked/already is cooked and then it sits under a lamp until the bruschetta has worked its way through my dad-in-law’s colon a bit.

Hey Lonz, have you ever done that thing when you’re with #thelads where you reverse the courses and have dessert first?!?!?!? Me neither.

#37

Maybe that’s going to be my thing. I order a starter and then order the main after. Would be a good quirk for a regional TV detective.

That’s a quirk too far!
