Weird shit people eat
A normal meal
Most mornings I buy breakfast at the deli across the street from my apartment. Yes, I can cook, but I've become attached to eating outside in the morning, as long as the weather is good. So I'm in there as the Indian guys run their ass ragged serving the teachers, kids, park workers and hospital workers which make up their customer base. Freelance writers are a minor subset, I guess, bloggers even smaller.
My one big problem is that I order coffe without sugar. I hate sugar in coffee. Iced coffee is even better without sugar. It's so cold and refreshing
So as I'm ordering a sandwich or platter of eggs, people occasionally come in and order.
Sometimes, it's a bacon and egg sandwich with mayo, or cheese on top, not inside, the eggs.
But one day, someone came in an ordered a chicken parm hero and then asked for mayo on top.
Huh? Mayo? On a chicken parm? It has tomato sauce, you freak.
Then there was the girl who wanted mayo on her fries, but I like that as well. I knew Dutch people. I just wonder where she picked it up.
But chicken parm and mayo? Holy fuck. What could be going through that person's mind. Hmmm. mayo and tomato sauce.
Now, dining with Jen can be interesting, since she likes organ meats and frogs legs, but I never saw her order fries with mustard, Ok.
What weird shit have you seen people eat?
