Guest guest Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 Aloha, I just got back from vacation in Hawaii. Went out to breakfast almost everyday. At the second restaurant my scrambled eggs did " not taste right " . Prior to the program would have wolfed them down and no even questioned it. Turns out after talking with the cook that the eggs are scrambled in leftover grease from cooking the bacon. Needless to say that was the last time I ordered scrambled eggs while on the islands. Thank goodness I had my protein powder with me on the trip, it was real helpful. I just can't stand it when cooks add bacon (or bacon fat) to things where it simply does not belong. Has anything like this every happened to you? Just wondering Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 Sure! Restaurants adding bacon, cheese, etc. to salads or baked potatoes or vegetables when there was no mention of it on the menu as an added topping or ingredient. Total pet peeve. Or adding bonito to a miso broth that they insist is still vegetarian. Or not being able to tell you whether or not what they prepared is vegetarian or vegan. And too often, especially at asian take-outs, they don't speak enough english answer food/ingredient questions or requests for modifications. Happens all the time, unfortunately. > I just can't stand it when cooks add bacon (or bacon fat) to things where it simply does not > belong.

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 It's a kind of fish, I think it might be a variety of tuna but I'm not sure.
