Hey! Brussels sprouts are delicious!

Well, they taste better than bitter gourd at least.

I remember being at a restaurant where one is served "family style" with four others, talking about what to order, when we realized all five people at the table liked Brussels sprouts.

Many restaurants specializing in Filipino and Chinese cuisine serve things family style. Which can be good, can be good. Generally I find it bad, because I prefer to order without having to consider what other people want to eat.

Indian restaurants often served family-style as well. I went to a favorite place with a friend once who suggested that, for a change, we order our own stuff. I ordered a vindaloo curry, which I usually don't get because most of my friends don't like food that spicy. It was awesome! Eyes water, nose runs. Eight hours later, you can't sit down.

That's the one thing that annoys me about Indian dinner serving.

The spiciness?

With me and Chinese food, well... there are just some dishes that I'm fed up with and never want to see again!

Spicy foods doesn't usually do that to me, but about five years ago I had a batch of extra-hot wings at Bombers' Burritos in Albany and that did me in (or rather my innards).

The spice doesn't bother me, but the family style serving does!

oh, I like that part. I wish more places do that. I generally don't like Italian chain restaurants, but I do like Bucca de Beppo for that (and that the food is good).

Family-style serving is a mixed bag for me. I do like that it promotes closeness. But it also tends to lead to overeating. Especially when the older relatives forcefeed the younger ones.

Ugh, I hated when my older relatives forced me to keep eating even when I was full.

Haven't they ever heard of takeout??

True story. I met The Boyfriend at a birthday party held in the Pope Room at Buca di Beppo.

Incidentally, Beppo is a hideously annoying creature who has nothing whatsoever to do with the cute couple that is you and the Boyfriend

Yeah, Beppo is my least favorite super-pet.

In order of preference:

Then there's Whizzy...

Not to be confused with Wizzo, a concoction from a children's book I read in my youth whose title now escapes me.

Or with Whizzo, that lovable character with the urinary tract infection.

"He thinks he's got the whole world in his hands, stood at the urinal..."

It CAN be a pretty heavy burden.

<is convinced this thread will never, ever die....>

Even if this thread died, it would just be reincarnated into a new thread anyway.

Which makes the whole point in killing it . . . meaningless.
