billyboy – we like to forget about that stuff on here if it is all the same to you.

Heather – pouting? Seriously?

ella – that is exactly what it was like!

Clarissa – pain d’oeuf is on every menu isn’t it?

z – I ordered medium on the understanding it would come rare, as this is how the French have it. In the UK I have medium rare. I don’t eat raw meat so would never order blue.

greavsie – letters or dressing?

You are, I’m sorry to say, rather a wimp if you order a ‘medium’ steak in France. Be a man and go for ‘bleu’.

I like French toast. Bet you can’t find it in France though.

i am, however, very naughty at eating other people’s desserts…. go on, let me try your brulee was it ever-so-slightly warm with a meltingly thin crisp top? yum yum

I think the French love to hate us.

Waiters on the other hand, they hate everybody. Why don’t you practise your pouting Mr Angry you might get better service?

Amy are you a yank? Not that I give a fuck, but did you know that the American war of Independence was financed almost entirely by the French? Furthermore without the French fighting the British at the same time there would have been no idependence. Thinking about it the French do have a lot to answer for.

wendz – The only thing tastier than an animal, is a baby animal…

marycub – one of us ordered a blue steak, it came bak medium.

billyboy – you don’t work on french ski lifts do you? i’d recognise that accent anywhere.

S hamilton – agreed…

ella – no, i had a creme brulee to myself. Are you stalkng me?

Amy – So you are a big fan too then?

Leonie – I fucking knew it!!

GH – They did as instructed then…

Mrs F – I have no problem sending stuff back if its not right, unless in a tourist area. This was a calculated risk, and I didn’t eat it anyway…

Wendz – I am going to recommend you skip Fridays post, OK?…

La Cubana Gringa – At last! Someone compliments me on my pronounciation! Gold star you.

You must have offended the waiter’s delicate sensibilities with your impeccable French accent.

Ooh Amy! The French are actually nice people.

That was a bit harsh and over-generalised.

By: Mrs F

Mrs F — Wed, 31 Jan 2007 12:31:17 +0000

That was brave. I can’t bring myself to send food back in a restaurant. I have this vision of the chef muttering under his/her breath and wiping the offending piece of meat round the sous chefs head a few times then sending it back out to me. Hello Billyboy, I checked with Mr F and he assures me he doesn’t live in France with another Mrs F when he isn’t here. I’m glad that’s sorted cause I did wonder.

Yep, the frogs hate us, that’s whats losers do, hate the winners

Of course, if your case Mr. A. it is personal as I’m sure your angry reputation has preceeded you and the froggies were interested to see how mad you could get at a french waiter. At least that’s what I told them to do

GH.

I like France, and I like the French. Although I did just call them and you’re right, they are all conspiring against you, Monsieur le Faché.

Never mind. I had a small altercation with Sweden a few years back but it’s all forgiven and forgotten now.

I hate the cheese eating surrender monkeys. They contribute fuck all to the world.

did you share their dessert as well? – i hate it when that happens… hands off my creme brulee.

wendz – isn’t it annoying that people get hysterical about eating veal. It is a legitimate by-product of a thriving dairy market and also one of the least hormone/antibiotic affected meat available but as long as you refuse the crated dutch product then the animal welfare issues are no more or less than any other. Our source comes ‘under the table’ at the farmer’s market as if it were illegal. I wish i could get a good source of rabbit fillet too.

Add it to the list of reasons to sink France which already included poor personal hygeine, hairy wimmin and a strange ability to run in the opposite direction very fast.

If it’s not “bleu” they’re not interested. Fortunately for me i love it that way – but i wouldn’t dare to ask for it blue in england, it would be dangerous!

By: Wendz

You are spot on!

I gave up ordering meat in a restaurant when that same thing happened over and over and over. It’s raw or old leather. You choose. I choose chicken these days.Or veal. Yes veal. Go on, shoot me.
