Gazpacho Soup

    Ive just realised that I've possibly made the worst decision of my life and ended whatever career prospect I had left thanks to gazpacho soup.

    This tale of woe start when I was invited to dinner with the company director's before Christmas, for the starter I ordered the soup. When the waitress brought it to the table it was cold so I called over the chef and told him to bring it back hot. We all had a good laugh at the chefs ineptness, or so I thought.

    So after a few weeks of snide soup jibes and much mockery, I made the stomach churning realisation that gazpacho should be eaten cold.

    Don't tell me the Steak Tartare was under-cooked, as well.

    No, he sent it back to be well done.:pac:

    At my husband’s Christmas party, somebody asked for steak well done and was jeered at by the table because he didn’t get it rare. Weirdly, the cut was rib-eye which, due to the fat content, is one of the few cuts which is at its best cooked medium to allowed the fat to render down so if we’re going by correctness, nobody was right!

    In a hot climate maybe,no reason for it here other than to charge loads for the soup with the fancy name.

    I once had a girlfriend who let rip at the staff in Yamamori because they brought my food and she had been waiting 10 minutes and still no sign.
    Turned out that food in Japanese restaurants is brought when ready not at the same time ( at least that’s what the staff said)

    Prepare thyself for more stomach churning because when you demanded the chef bring back the soup and warm it up, he probably did so by pissing into it.

    In fact, if ye were all laughing at his perceived ineptness, and heard ye, he definitely pissed into the f**ker.

    If I eat rare or even medium steak, guaranteed cramps, and not nausea/vomiting but the other.

    I love undercooked steak but can't risk it so I have to endure the jibes. :(

    There is no correctness apart from what you want yourself.

    Not the brightest all right, another time I heard her talking to an American who described how it had got up to 100 degrees during the summer, she asked “is that Celsius or Fahrenheit”
    Well shot

    In fairness, that's good to know as I hate when restaurants do that personally.

    Thought that was just standard. Good sign of quality. Better than being just reheated.

    Wouldn't want to be eating my meal when the other person wasn't and then having to wait for them to eat after I'm finished. They could at least start making them at different times and try have them ready together.

    People can have it whatever way they want but that doesn’t mean it’s the optimum. Having rib-eye less then medium can make the fat very unpleasant to eat.

    First six seasons were absolutely superb. Then Rob Grant left and it just wasn't quite as good anymore. Then they kept on and on making it until it was pretty terrible

    To save any further embarrassment you should stop calling it “gazpacho soup” it’s simply “gazpacho”
