Are you Hungry?

Free or double?
Interesting concept.
 
The double or nothing is an interesting idea. I don't know if that would entice more people with the possibility of free food, or drive them away with the idea that it could be double.

I also like the "it can be anything" idea. I seems like a little too much in terms of meats and food (like, piling 3-4 meals on top of each other), but I like it.
 
I would not eat any food prepared by somebody with tattoos on their arms

As someone who has tattoos on her arm, and also prepares an exquisite tuna steak with fresh dill, a light arugula salad with homemade vinaigrette, and slightly seasoned asparagus spears with from scratch tiramisu (including fresh mascarpone) for dessert, I take offense at this.


What obnoxious, prejudiced BS.

PS This meal best served with a nice, dry white wine. Not too sweet and nothing so sparkling as a zinfandel.

We appreciate the warning! :bolian:

On further thought, I suppose it might make some difference that my arm tatto is a quotation of Sir Francis Bacon rather than a run of the mill tribal pattern and flames. However, I cannot be sure of anyhthing in my current, wine addled state of mind, so I will continue to take offense until I am sober and can determine whether or not taking offense is th e omost rational reaction!
 
I have a plethora of images on hand with which to mock your offense. A PLETHORA.

Do share. Bearing in mind that most people misunderstand the word "plethora" as simply a synonym for "many" or "abundant" when plethora actually implies too many to be good.

Alls I'm sayin' is that not all of us with tatts are hep C ridden prison bitches.
 
For the record, I will gladly accept food from tattoo-armed people. A good friend of mine, who has a dragon tattooed down his entire arm, makes a kickass chili.
 
On the contrary, the mistake people make with words is assuming that they mean exactly the same thing each time they get used.

That I do agree with. However, the complexity of language suffers in this medium. All those subtleties which may change meaning are lost in this vacuous world of zeroes and ones. So, do tell, why should my hygiene/food preparation skills be brought into question simply because I happen to indulge in a bit of body art?

If I didn't find the thought of a breakfast containing approximately the same amount of calories I eat in a week repulsive, then I wouldn't mind sampling the chef in question's creations.
 
You happen to be correct. Most conversation, especially garbage conversation like this, is about socialising and 'making friends' and all that other cromagnon bullshit. But without body language, tone, eye contact etc to establish rapport it is impossible blah blah blah I really don't give a fuck today. I don't like tattoos because I live in a country that is full of yobbos and I am very judgemental. Time to get back to work. Have fun being tattood and not serving me food

Oh please. Something like 1/4 of Australian adults are tattooed. We are the most heavily tattooed country in the western world. You have most certainly eaten food prepared by people with tattoos on their arms unless never ever eat out.

YES! My two recent threads unite harmoniously in the fact that I know the term "yobbos" from all the Aussie TV I watched whilst in India!!!!

It's still an ignorant and prejudiced viewpoint. I mean... really? Just because you find my style aesthetically unappealing you would class me as crass, unsophisticated, and unfit for preparing food? Really? Good thing I've got a fucking science degree from a world renowned university and won't have to be preparing your fries and shake.


(Wine lowers my Politeness inhibition and brings out the truth.)

It's a lazy viewpoint. Very lazy. Based on my unwillingness to spend time and energy getting to know the person underneath the tattoo. Exactly like racism. And the 'laziness' comes from my aversion to social interaction, which comes from fear, which comes from what I can only assume was a fairly nasty childhood, since I don't remember very much of it. Damn I am on fire today :evil:

But that's not true. If it was true, I wouldn't have been so quick to admit it to all and sundry. I'm not scared. I'm just lazy

You are very lucky to be talking to a man that can admit that his problem is his own.
