Do you prefer bar food, a restaurant, cafe or tea rooms?
Are diners a restaurant? Diner foods are some of my favorites. My favorite is Country Fried Steak, which I think can only be found at a diner as I have rarely seen it in a normal restaurant. Of course, what do I know? I rarely eat out unless being invited. My mom has trained my stomach to act out and misbehave every time I don’t eat at home.
Do you always have the same thing, or try something different from time to time?
Given how rarely I eat out, I always try something different when I have the chance.
Have you ever had to send something back to the kitchen because it was sub standard?
I’ve never had the embarrassing pleasure of having to send food back to the kitchen. I have had the experience of having my order forgotten but I guess that’s a little better than having something under-cooked.
If you have a complaint, do you make it in writing after you have left, or before you settle your bill?
I’ve never complained about my food, even with that one time when I got a bad lobster. I just accept that it’s just my luck and not eat it. I don’t complain not because I’m afraid or not wanting to embarrass the restaurant but because I don’t want to get any kickbacks from my mom. Knowing her, I can get a lecture or a tantrum from anything.


It’s a shame you don’t feel able to complain because of how your Mom may react. I bet she’d complain though. Difficult situation for you I know. Thanks for joining in this week.

Oh, I know she will complain because that’s just how she is. She doesn’t mind complaining herself but when others do it, she hates it.

My late MIL would always find something to complain about if we were having a meal out.

I don’t like to be around such a person. It makes me feel rude-adjacent.

She didn’t like me because I wouldn’t stand for her silliness. Luckily, my late FIL did like me and found my attitude towards her, let us say, refreshing.
