It's funny what restaurant staff have to put up with and being on the upscale side of things doesn't guarantee that the clientele will be any smarter. My nephew is a chef and has worked at a number of winery restaurants. Those places tend to be pricey and one likes to assume
that people with money to afford places like that have more brains than the average person. He once had pate fois gras sent back because it was too fatty. Another sent back sweetbreads because she was vegetarian and didn't know that sweetbreads were meat.
Sweetbreads ain't meat, they're glands. I had some once, and they were delicious. When I found out what they were, weeks later, it was hard to
throw up, but I tried.
I ain't a "guts" kind of guy. :(
I take it back. I've eaten a good pate, enjoyed it, and knew what it
was. Liver and onions, yuck! Brains and eggs, nope!
YMMV

That sounds like something my son would order. Luckily, they don't sell that kind
of stuff on this rock. When we went to Montana, my son and his family ordered a
big plate of chicken gizzards - that's something that's not sold on this rock. I
make it a point to try whatever weird-ass food my son orders. Perhaps one day,
they'll order sweetbread or even brains.

The gizzards were pretty much what I'd thought they'd
be - except even tougher.

this bacon is the last thing we'll be using it for. i'm getting
a new slicer and will donate the Rival to Goodwill.
That looks pretty nifty. I'll send you $15 to throw the Rival into a
box and mail it to me instead of Goodwill LOL
