The place I usually go to on the weekends has a menu that is 2 pages. They have maybe 30 items on there including the appetizers. 1/3 of the items are fish, which I don’t like. If I couldn’t order burgers without the tomatoes and pickles I’d be fucked. I guess I can pick them off but why not just ask for them not to be included so they’re not wasted? I can see your point if they’re making things in big batches and can’t reasonably leave an ingredient out but for shit like sandwiches/salads/pizza or whatever it’s not a big deal to leave something off. It’s certainly not an insult to the chef to not like an ingredient. Taste is completely subjective, if you’re insulted by someone having different tastes than you that’s a you problem.
Really? Tomato and pickles? That is what makes something inedible for you? I understand strong flavors like horseradish, but even tomato? Tomato doesn’t have that much flavor, its there for the juiciness.
Why would you go this spot regularly if you literally know you don’t like anything on the menu?
Yes, why would I lie? Pickles are gross to me by both flavor and texture. Tomatoes I can deal with if they’re chopped up but whole slices I don’t like. I can pick either thing off myself (although it still leaves a taint, I wouldn’t consider either thing to be flavorless, maybe my taste buds are more sensitive than yours) but why not just ask them not to include it in the first place and not be wasteful?
I go where my friends go. Anywhere that serves burgers/sandwiches around here is more or less the same anyway so it’d be the same anywhere else.
