Having lunch with my friend at a very popular restaurant ( no i am not going to name them and tarnish their image or whatever) i was served a very beautiful plate of pasta. I have a bit of a pasta mania and tend to order it whenever the opportunity arises. Friend stuck to a basic sandwich and was happily eating almost finishing the meal and there i was waiting for the pasta. After signalling the waiter a couple of times since i was starving i was quite happy that it was taking ages, obviously they were chopping the veges and making it fresh.
So there came the beautiful plate with beautiful looking pasta and vegetables. It looked so lovely and appetizing, i did not want to eat it.....
I shouldn't have cause the minute i put a forkful in my mouth. Something was really wrong. The panic in my eye gave signals to friend.
Friend : What is wrong with it
Me : I dunno i think spoilt ( and i continue to forcefeed my second helping into my mouth)
Friend : DONT EAT IT
(There goes the third spoon into my mouth, i wanted to throw up but did not want to complain in case the chef spits on my drink or whatever) Friend brought the situation into control by pushing plate away and calling the waiter.
Waiter : Any problem miss
Me : i think its got spoilt (with this apologetic smile from me )
Waiter : Might be old, let me the get manager
Oh my god, i died, did i hear him say it might be old. Manager comes inquires same and yes confirms might be kind of old and serves up something else for me.
Lesson learnt. If its spoilt, its spoilt. Dont eat it... ( think will stay off pasta for a bit)

i'd have thought lesson learnt = don't ever go there again, especially if they admitted to the food being old.
PP- That as well :)
how very rude of them. please enlighten us of the said location. not that it will be of any benefit for me. can avoid next visit no?
V- its top secret wont tell , seriously i dont want to blog about it.. will tell u when u come here on vacation next so that u can avoid ok :)
C'mon give us a clue at least. So that we can be cautious. What a nerve... admitting it to be old but still serving it anyway.
Ack! I'm a pasta fan too... but not so much that ppl can serve spoilt pasta and get away with it! And they had the sang froid to admit that it was old!!! Please tell me what the place is because I have a funny feeling it may be a place I visit!
