I went out for a meal last night with some friends, it was a very nice restaurant we went to...a favourite of mine, however upon our arrival one of our number uttered the words I fear and loathe when in a restaurant; "set menu".
Why fear and loathe? Simple, I fear the other members of the perty aggreeing that such a stupid notion is a good idea (which they did in this instance), and loathe because i've been given the opportunity to enjoy one of the things I love, eating gorgeous food at a nice restaurant, only to have it snatched away at the last second and, instead, be presented with a whole selection of the things I *wouldn't* have picked off the menu...oh but it'll cost less so that's fine
I suppose it would make life easier if I wasn't quite so picky...but as far as i'm concerned my pickyness just means I have exacting standards
