Delicious Lamb Stuffed Paratha for lunch

[Bretrick]

Though I had to beg for a knife to cut the dash thing.
They originally gave me a bamboo fork and spoon!
How will those things cut the paratha without it going everywhere?
She eventually found a plastic knife with a serrated edge.
Rules here are ridiculous, no metal cutlery for customers.
Is it the same where you are?
Knifes can be used as a deadly weapon.
This is called progress.
From what I am seeing of the modern world, there is a whole lot of regression taking place.

That’s an interesting restriction.

Here it seems to have more to do with the restaurant and the price of the food.

These worthless plastic sporks are common with fast food.


Some upscale burgers still come to the table stabbed with a large steak knife.

it's top management that's sticks the knife in??

There's nothing worse than trying to cut into food with a bamboo knife and fork. I asked the lady who served me some banana bread, "could I have a knife to butter it", and she handed me a spoon.

either use a different cafe ; speak to the management only or take ya own utensils??

I usually have a knife in my case. For some reason I took it out and forgot to replace it.

there is a catch there - have you spotted it?

not much use giving me brain teasers, they go straight over my head. Eve when explained. Still over my head.

many restaurants will not allow you to enter with your own cutlery - safety reasons??

We used to have a restaurant here in Orlando that was world-famous for its rules. Those rules put the Soup Nazi to shame. The local weekly "alternative" newspaper would have a "Best-Of" edition yearly. This restaurant would win the "Restaurant with the Most Byzantine Rules" and they'd state that without this restaurant there would be no need for the category.

One of the rules was that you weren't allowed to cut the sandwiches. Not only would they refuse to cut them in two, if you got caught cutting one, you were told to take it home and do it there. They wouldn't even give you a knife if they suspected that's what you wanted it for.

An article in the paper reported that a woman, who was on her way to the hospital to visit her husband who was recovering from a stroke, stopped by to pick up one of his favorite sandwiches. She begged them to cut the sandwich because her husband wouldn't be able to hold the whole thing, but they refused. Rules are rules. She begged some more. She asked for a plastic knife. Nope. They told her that it would be best if she didn't come in again.

They had wonderful bread baskets, but it took an act of congress to get butter. You were given two small pats of butter to start with and you couldn't have any more until those were gone. Then you had to call the waitress over and you could have ONE pat at a time.

That restaurant was there for at least 25 years, maybe more. People packed it because the food was New York deli fantastic and, I suspect, people got a big kick about being treated like that.....I guess it was "performance art". Everyone in town had a favorite story to tell. Mine was the time I got charged a "sharing" charge because my 6-month-old niece was licking my spoon. I refused to pay it and told them to call the police if they wanted. I was told to never come back again. I came back.....I liked the food.

The restaurant is long gone; they tore the mall down it was in. But, older residents still chuckle about their experiences there.
So, Bret, you wouldn't have been able to cut your sandwich there, either....

I was in an Indian restaurant over here in Sydney and most of the people eat with their right hand. A friend told me they always eat with their right and wipe with their left. Figure that one out? I always ask for a knife and fork, they don't mind. .

Thanks for the pic. I doubt I will ever see an upscale burger.

I asked for a knife and was told they have no metal knives. She had to hunt around to find a plastic knife.
