  • "Appetizers" Just Don't Make Sense

    I mean, who thought that up?

    My Momma would always scold us - "don't eat that, it will ruin your appetite".

    So, what do we do? We go to a restaurant where we're about to pay for a meal, and we pay EXTRA for some food BEFORE the meal that "appetizes?" us FOR the meal?

    And, the Mexican Restaurant where you get free chips and salsa..... by the time the fajitas come, you're already feeling full!

    And it's even WORSE when you're buying an "all you can eat" meal like fish or shrimp - that FIRST we would pay for food to "appetize?" us to eat less "all you can eat" fish or shrimp.

    Anyway... I couldn't sleep last night, so I worked on this.

    No, appetizers don't make sense to me either.

    ...but don't you go messing with the chips and salsa at Mexican restaurants, now.

      Appetizers are a way for restaurants to be slow getting your dinner to you without you getting mad.

          The only time we do appetizers is if Mrs CP and I are planning on sharing a meal (which we frequently do) and want a little something extra.

          And it's a way for the restaurant to be slow about service without you getting mad.

              Oh, and sometimes we have a coupon or "credit" that allows us a free appetizer. As a Scotsman, I cannot refuse a free appetizer.

                      That's when you ask if you can have a free coffee/tea/soft drink instead.

                              And one can only imagine what sorta stuff they try to pass off as champagne in Texas. I'm figuring I could make a fortune dropping Alka-Seltzer into Ginger Ale and selling it as champagne there
