Haha - well for most Europeans, not just me, the food is the highlight of the holiday! Remember that we live to eat, not eat to live, like most Brits [although clearly not those on AoS]!
Fair enough.Didn't get to "eat out" this year (we were all-inclusive and watching the pennies a bit), but the hotel food was actually really good, though not traditional Bulgarian. I think they were just catering for several nationalities. I seemed to get through a lot of veal steaks served in a variety of sauces (which I liked).
Lol - and the English wonder why they're often hated abroad?But the culinary highlight came on Wednesday evening, in the form of a Cockney-sounding gob-on-legs, and his equally vocal wife. The bloke had been a bit of a knob all week, swearing loudly about anything and everything within earshot of all the small kiddies. I could have happily knocked the little fat fuck's pint onto the floor and mop it up with his head, but we were trying to have a chilled holiday so we gave him a wide berth (as did everyone else).
Plus it's usually the arrogant southerners in tourist resorts who are most guilty of ruining the reputation of decent English people.... Sorry, that's just been my experience, although I know plenty of English people from the south, in real life, particularly proper cockneys, who are the complete opposite, but some of the tourists abroad are a different breed.
Chilled out holiday or not though mate, I'd have slapped the c*nt. Done it before in similar situations!
Priceless - that's just too funny for words!!Anyway, as I was browsing the a la carte offerings my attention was drawn by him and his equally mouthy bint giving the holiday rep some grief about the temperature of the Chilli. Mrs. Gobshite had a food thermometer stuck in it with a reading of 56C, which apparently isn't good enough. She declared (loud enough for the whole restaurant to hear that "I do this for a living, and this should read 75C!" I'm guessing her "profession" is school dinner lady. I just pushed past her and got some of the condemned Chilli and very nice it was too
Begs the question though: Who the f__k takes a food thermometer on holiday?
The answer to your question though, is a sad cow with nothing better to do. I'd have shoved it up her arse, and told her it was a damn sight tighter in that hole than her 'front one' has likely ever been! And yes, they were almost certainly trying to get a discount, through fraudulent pretences. Can't stand folk like that. They really make my blood boil!
Ha - no worries. Glad you enjoyed it. It's just that Bulgarian (and Romanian) wine gets a bad rep here, simply because we get all their plonk, which over there is a different ballgame. I've not been to Bulgaria, but it's a country I'd certainly like to visit.We did do a tour round a wine place in Pomorie last year, where we got to try out various plonks. The reds were largely quite a fruity bouquet with earthy undertones, and an amount of woodiness...sorry I can't keep that up - they were nice, but we're not big wine drinkers. I think the cheeses that came with it helped.
Marco.
