Haute cuisine fightin' words

  • I resent your remarks about my paw-paw and arugula pesto!
  • The reduction method used by your sous-chef to produce this veal consommé is patently inferior and allows inferences to be drawn about the overall management of this kitchen.
  • Call this cotoletta alla milanese? Call it by its true name -- weiner schnitzel!
  • Your reliance upon garlic is telling.
  • Your fusion of Asian and Southern European flavours was ultimately unsuccessful and undeserving of even the epithet ‘interesting’.
  • Were you trained in England?
  • You sauté like a faggot.

And what about that great line 'can you please pass the salt again'...haven't cooked my father-in-law a single meal he hasn't said it to (shit sentence I know, but I'm sure you get what I mean).

That's cute...

"Actually could you bundle up all the condiments and parachute them down this end of the table as a little care package..."

No salt, thank you. Pass the bucket.

Actually overheard in Fitzroy eatery upon unsatifactory wait-bot response to customer complaint:

"You're shitting in my mouth and calling it risotto".

I understand that the arborio was no longer al dente.

Oh, God that's funny, with the added zingy yet starchy zestiness that only comes with reality.

This is brilliant.
