    Thats a take away box. You’re safely at home and not in a public place, soon to be beaten to death.

      I just like eating from a takeaway box. The environmental impact makes me happy inside.

      Some places have mayo, why no ketchup?

      Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]

        The mlem app (or maybe my phone) takes me to the mail when I click these types of link, and I am actually wondering what will happen if I send a mail to the address

          Report the bug to mlem. I presume they have a community so you can do so on lemmy

    I’ve seen this in real life.

    We were having a company dinner at a REALLY fancy place. They were advertisers in our paper. So, the chef had prepared a nice six course meal for the group.

    Some colleagues are definitely more McD’s guests rather than fancy restaurants.

    Three courses in, here comes a steak and gourmet fries to garnish. Colleague goes hog wild, dumps a bunch of fries on his plate and waves over the waitress. “Hey, do you have a bottle of ketchup? For on the steak?” The look she gave him was one of utter shock. “I, uh, wow, uhm… I’ll check”.

    She eventually came back with a bottle, but I was sure the chef would have chased my colleague around with a kitchen knife if he’d heard of the request. That dude was intense.

        There are “fancy” (and of course expensive) places that specialise in high end cuts of meat - that serve fries as a standard side option.

        Steak and fries is a restaurant staple, even if you go really expensive. This place serves 200 euro plus Wagyu cuts, for reference. And it was sublime.

        The fries were ‘gourmet’ fries. Basically, you get like a ramekin of fries, which are mostly meant as garnish. It’s not like a full plate of fries.

        My colleague liked them so much he did ask for extra fries, which got a mild frown from the waitress.

      It’s different if you’re choosing to go somewhere fancy and pay for something expensive and then negate the fanciness, but for a free work meal I’m going to give your colleague the benefit of the doubt and assume they know what they like. Don’t gatekeep food, who gives a shit what other people like?

        Oh don’t get me wrong, it was wildly entertaining. I’m more of a cheap pizza guy anyway. Our other work dinners were at a local steak restaurant which was much more everyone’s vibe.

        Still, it was hilarious to see someone order ketchup with a 200 euro wagyu cut, prior to having tasted the thing. (Pure perfection, best steak ever)

          €200 for a single steak, paid for by the company? Man, that is a whole order of magnitude fancier than I was expecting!

            Well, that was the price on the menu, but not what we paid :D

            As mentioned, the restaurant was one of our advertisers. We helped them plan their media campaign, did the printed menu’s, few other promotional things like that. So the owner/chef invited us to basically dine ‘at cost’ as a thank you. He also planned the six course meal for the entire group so he could cook stuff that he wanted to show off.

            So basically… we got an expensive restaurant at a cheap restaurant price. Our company also had about 10 people, so it wasn’t too extravagant.

              Fair, that makes sense. I still admire the chaos monkey energy of your ketchup colleague though!

    Have an extremely angry upvote. I don’t even like raw fish and this pisses me off. And I’m also craving an eel roll. Anyone know a good sushi restaurant in Minneapolis?

      Don’t know any sushi place in Minneapolis that has ketchup 0/10

    That gives me an idea for an invention. Hollow chopsticks so you can pump ketchup onto your sushi as you eat it. You could even stab it into it and do a ketchup injection!

    I wonder if wasabi ketchup is a thing…

      Wasabi ketchup would just be DIY shrimp cocktail sauce with a green tint.

      I actually have both wasabi and ketchup. I can try making some.

    That’s nothing. I know a girl that asked a waiter to heat up her salmorejo in a microwave. The waiter said no. It wasn’t even a fancy place, just a normal bar. There are some things you just don’t do.
