Dining Out - Pleasurable or Painful?

My friend Adam can easily finish a 12 oz steak and then polish off the rest of my meal as well!! ;D

I went to a sushi stand at a mall not so long ago with my daughter and we spent $20 on sushi and I asked for a glass of water for my daughter. That was fine they provided the water but wanted to charge me for a single glass of water. Hummpph water is free over here, aside from the washing of the glass there is no outlay for the restaurant. I grumbled to the girl and we won't go back there

It's free over here too Matt. Lord have mercy, over here they continue to fill our water glasses until our teeth float. And it's all free! I can't even imagine being charged for a glass of ice water. That is unheard of where I live. People would balk at the very idea.
I'm so glad you spend so much time with your daughter. And one of these days I will try sushi. I don't like fish, but Amanda, Lee and you have ALMOST talked me into it. :)
Kerry? Have you tried sushi? How did you like it?

I do not doubt that at all Lee from knowing Adam and yet he stays slim as a rail.

:laugh:
I wonder if they are one and the same Lee?!
They have the same appetite at least, don't they?
Adam on the Travel Channel is a bit pudgy, but he looks very cuddly and huggable... like a teddy bear. I'd go for him. He has a cute personality too, which is very important.

I don't mind fish, David, but I'm not a big fish eater. I particularly can't stand the smell of fish. Ooey-pooey! If I'm eating fish, it must be a non-fishy smelling, white-meat fish like Bream, Blue-Eyed Cod, John Dory or Swordfish. They're all non-stinky. I'm allergic to prawns so can't eat them. And I wouldn't want to, even if I could. They look and smell disgusting. I call them "cockroaches of the sea." I've tried eating oysters and muscles but just can't get into them. I resent paying big money for something that looks like someone's blown their nose in a seashell and put it on a bed of lettuce for me to eat.
Which brings me to Sushi. It's considered very trendy to be into Sushi here in Sydney. All the trendoids rave about Sushi. But let's call a spade a spade. It's raw meat. And what's worse, it's raw fish meat. Yetch! Having said that, however, I was swayed by some Sushi-loving friends some time ago, who sang the praises of a certain Sushi restaurant they knew, and convinced me to accompany them. So we went along to this very nice, up-market Sushi place (I couldn't believe the prices they were charging for raw fish!) and decided to give it a go. Part of the entertainment at this restaurant was watching one of the chefs prepare the Sushi. He was very entertaining to watch. He put on quite a show. But I didn't like what I saw. He was an elderly Japanese man, with none too clean hands and finger nails, who was not wearing rubber gloves! Ugh! The more I watched him, the more I wanted to barf! Needless to say, I convinced my friends to eat elsewhere.
