A foodie’s rant
Gloriously titled, the article ’10 things I hate about chew’ runs through a number of Simon Thomsen’s pet hates when dining out. A wonderfully insightful piece on the state of dining in Australia - the bloke can write too!
Meils – take notice!
Some of the funnier pieces included:3. Seasoning. Also known as The Pepper Grinder. A growing number of restaurants don't offer any salt and pepper on the table. That's fine - the chef should season, but bringing a pepper grinder the size of a nuclear warhead to the table and asking if we want some before we've tasted the food is inane. I ask for it to be left on the table and promise not to steal it.
6. Overblown menu descriptions. Sometimes it sounds like the ingredients are having sex in a Barbara Cartland novel.

Bug reckons she shudders when people put salt onto their meal BEFORE tasting it first ....
Also people not closing their cutlery to indicate when they're done eating ... she never knows when to clear their plates.
I wonder if wait staff have other pet hates as well?
Meils - any pet hates??
