Mistakes your waiter/waitress made

Scene: One of the fanciest restaurants in Cincinnati. I ordered Boston Scrod with a creamy herb sauce. The waiter left and we had a small discussion about which fish we like best yadayada. I explained that the only fish that I didn’t like was salmon. Too fishy. Anyway, dinner arrives. I ate a couple bites, and remarked that it didn’t taste fresh. My friend tasted it and said, “That’s because you’re eating salmon, not scrod.”

BTW, I didn’t mention it the waiter. We were running short of time and couldn’t wait for a new entree.

Switzerland isn’t the typical example of a European country if you ask me… no offence. These people can be very weird…

Coldfire, I’m going to have to ask you to step outside.

Hey AWB! What restaurant in Annapolis was that? Lived there for 23 years, so I’m curious…

And I don’t have any good food stories. Plenty of AIRLINE horror stories, but no food ones. At least not yet.
