In the meantime, what has happened to the hospitality industry? I ask because I'm beginning to dread eating out. The simplest irritant is ordering a cup of tea. I'm given a cup of hot water and a tea-bag. By the time they arrive at my table, the water is warm and the tea-bag is still sitting in the saucer. If anyone should know how to make tea, cooks and chefs would be at the top of the list.
I'm laughed at, at home, because I heat my cup with hot water before adding the boiling water and tea or tea-bag TOGETHER. I like my tea hot, hot, hot. I don't add milk, just enjoy piping hot black tea; and the only place I can get it now is at home. When did The Kitchen Police decide that luke-warm is best?
It was certainly some time before the decision was made to serve chips UNDER the rest of the meal - oh please, stop doing that. I order weiner schnitzel with salad and chips, and when it arrives the chips are going soggy under the meat and salad. Why? Who in their right mind wants soggy chips? I mean, really, I've heard of "served on a bed of mash" or "a bed of rice", but served on a bed of chips? I've fooled them now, though. I order chips on the side. They come in a bowl, separately, but they're hot and crunchy and just how I like 'em.
