45 Food Industry Workers Share Their Stories About Clients With Really Specific Demands
We’ve all got our cute tastebud quirks. Some of us enjoy slapping some crispy bacon on our waffles. Or drinking milk with roast beef. Or eating an entire block of beet chocolate on the park bench because we’re too lazy to make lunch. (All true for me, by the way. Please, don’t judge.) But some food and drink requests push the limit on strangeness and raise the bar on weirdness by a mile.
Ask anyone who’s worked in the food service industry longer than a day and they’ll talk your ear off about all the incredibly bizarre things that customers have ordered from them. That’s exactly what people did on Twitter when Kyle shared his weird request story and asked others to pitch in with their own.
While you’re scrolling down and upvoting the stories that made you say, ‘What?!’, let us know what the weirdest request you’ve ever heard from a customer was. We just hope you don’t lose your appetites, dear Pandas!

Perhaps she should carry her own potassium chloride - a salt which is an alternative to regular table salt. I agree - she wouldn't like chlorine on her fries.
Load More Replies...There's salt substitutes that do not have sodium. Potassium chloride, for example. I'm guessing this is under doctor's orders due to a water-retaining condition
If you have a condition with such demands, then you usually know how to explain better what you need. Speaking from experience, on a renal diet.
Load More Replies...Hahahahahaha, next he's gonna order sugar without the carbohydrates XD
Maybe they meant salt free seasoning. It’s pretty much the same as seasoned salt, just with some other spice instead
I'm just going to keep laughing at this one. Ah, sigh. Americans. Magnificently stupid whilst entitled or egotistical at the same time. bloody brilliant.
We had a fellow whose drink was Pernod and orange juice. Dunno what it tasted like, but it sure was a funny color.
too much can cause digestive problems. Tell him to enjoy the cramps and bloating
Stevia is a sweetener made from leaves of some sort. So it's an artificial sweetener trying to be 'natural'.
Load More Replies...When you have so much "sugar" it actually becomes sugar in your bloodstream XP
I had a guest ask for Cholula (a brand of hot sauce) for his pancakes. No butter, no syrup. Just Cholula.
I mean... Pancakes can be savory based on the toppings... So it's fine??
Load More Replies...Kyle’s tasty thread got a whopping 76.3k likes and over 8.5k retweets (including the normal kind and the fancy ‘quote’ kind) and opened our minds to the possibility that life on Planet Earth is much more interesting than we give it credit for.
Stories like these really make you think whether the customer’s always right. Do you just give them what they want? Do you do a double-take and look at them like they’re a green alien from Mars? Or do you outright refuse to do what you suspect might be bad for their bodies?
Could just put a very small amount of coffee in the cup and then fill it up with water
I know people that drink that, just a tiny bit of coffee on the end of the spoon, then water.
Load More Replies...I used to do this when I was little with my mom. since I didn't want to have the caffeine as a child, she would drink her coffee, fill it up with water, then give it to me as "kid's coffee".
When I was a teenager I workde in the dining room of a residential hotel. The residents were elderly. One man was called hot cups. He wanted servers to put the coffee cup in hot water then serve him his coffee
I wonder why he never asked the server to just poor a tiny amount of coffee in and dilute it with water instead of dumping out a full cup.
On another note the caviar one gets me too. We have a friend that likes the finer things in life, by no means is he rich but he does like to treat himself to expensive dinners etc. Anyways one day he tells us that he likes the idea of caviar because it is a symbol of status but it doesn’t taste that great. He believes that many people don’t eat caviar because they like it, they eat it to look wealthy and like someone important. Whether that is true or not I have no idea. But it does make you wonder.
Load More Replies...my mouth is watering now... i'm not happy with you dude
Load More Replies...I’ve never had caviar and I never will but how dumb do you have to be to ask that?! 🤣
It's sad and depressing to see many americans don't understand which products come from the sea... Some lady once complained her salmon tasted like fish. IT IS FISH, you ignorant moron 🤦🏼♀️
Yeah, but on Thanksgiving?! That just really sux for the barista to make an obnoxiously massive espresso drink while it’s busy, hogging the machine.
Load More Replies...100 shots AND 100 pumps of syrup?? The caffeine and sugar crash must've been brutal :-D
Exactly, I doubt this is drinkable so the barista did all that work so someone could post it on social media and maybe take two sips. A waste of time and resources.
Load More Replies...At the end of the day, as long as they’re perfectly polite and look like they’re able to make informed decisions, our customers really are always right. At least as far as eating and drinking strange combinations goes.
Besides, a combo that makes someone gag just from the thought of tasting it might be what someone’s body craves and needs. Our bodies, while similar in many ways, are also very different. And that’s beautiful. Watching someone order an espresso with orange flavoring might make your jaw drop and your eyes pop in wonder.
Unless he knew what he was getting himself into by marrying her then don't feel bad. He might be similar to her in certain ways.
Load More Replies...I too have ordered a lemon sorbet milkshake. On purpose. I mean, it was on the menu so. But the server misheard and made a lemon strawberry milkshake (with lemon sorbet AND strawberry icecream). Best. Milkshake. Ever.
As a cook, I frequently had servers give me really weird orders and say "Pregnant". It explains anything.
They can make it with seltzer or soda instead. I used to use orange sherbet, soft serve vanilla, & either orange soda or orange monster energy & make a banging creamsicle shake!
A place nearby makes apparently delicious lemon meringue milkshakes, I bet that would have done her tongue what she was looking for.
I just got unintentional body twitch and facial tics from this! "This would gag a maggot" doesn't even come close to how disgusting this is!
I'm detested by the word offended because of it's overuse, but I'm offended for the Japanese people.
Its not overused at all. People are valid when they say they are offended because WAY too many things in this world ARE horrible and offensive.
Load More Replies...I've learned with this country that if it hasn't got any sweetener on it, it will. Butter is just proof that they don't actually like sushi.
How do you know what country they're from?
Load More Replies...If you’re a server, barista, or barman and you find yourself overwhelmed, take a moment to breathe in, relax, throw on a smile and give the customer the best gourmet abomination they’ve ever tasted. Just smile and wave.
Or maybe they have to have a liquid diet? I know sometimes my own GI problems has me on liquids. Although I wouldn't do that.
Load More Replies...How do you make that? Just make the Frappuccino, and throw it in a blender with the sandwich?
My guess is the customer had a body stashed somewhere and needed some DNA to go with it.
Yeah, Post-Covid nobody is going to order anythign like that, anymore...
Once upon a time, back in the pre-Covid days of yore when we could drive around with groups of friends, I drove us through the drive thru and thus had ordering duties. One person asked me to order a coffee pretty much identical to this. I didn't realize they were serious and laughed my head off before saying, "Can you imagine if someone actually ordered that?" They were not amused.
Load More Replies...That customer needs to just admit they don't like coffee. It's OK. People look at you funny at first but it's OK. I know.
Lol its like the roach guy from the first Men in Black movie!
Load More Replies...Remind me of a scene from the old horror movie The Fly, where he had 1 cup of suger for 1 drop of caffe
Pardon me, just reading that made my blood sugar shoot WAY up. I gotta take some insulin.
I tell the waiter or waitress that my fried egg should be completely cooked to the point of being rubber. They always laugh because they think that it's hiliarious. To my chagrin, it is usually still a bit undercooked.
That's a matter of taste...a burger burnt to resemble a hockeypuck is carcinogenic.
Load More Replies...Haha, sounds like my mum. The only way she could eat things like sausages and steak is if they were burnt. But since she turned 50 she did a whole 180 and is no longer that fussy. She still prefers her steak well done just not burnt.
I'm sorry if she did a 360 she'd be back where she started. I'm sorry I can't not say it now I've seen it. Xoxox
Load More Replies...I know y'all have heard this before but it works for me. When ordering a steak I tell the waiter "I want it so rare a good vet could still save it." It does work.
I don't serve that kind of crap. Overcooked food (to that point) does not belong in my kitchen. They can go elsewhere and have that crap.
When I roast a chicken and my husband compliments me because the chicken is "perfect", I know that I've left it in the oven too long and it's dry and stringy - just as he likes it. Yech.
I actually would have ordered that if I could. I can't milk nor gluten but sometimes you want to order something as well when your friends order.
It sounds like that scene in Secretary where Maggie Gyllenhaal is only allowed to eat what James Spader tells her to. Its something like, a small spoon of mashed potatoes and four peas.
Why would you even bother going to a restaurant if this is what you wanted?

Oh get over yourself. The irony of judging people for being judgy without any evidence...
Load More Replies...That's not screwed up. It's probably harmless fun between mates. They might put s**t on him because it's funny, and he might know to expect it and is clever enough to avoid it. It doesn't mean men are being cruel. It's just the sort of s**t men sometimes do with each other for fun, and cliche as it sounds it can build character. It's the men who can't handle it and who misinterpret it who are usually those who have issues.
In the Netherlands we call that a sneeuwwitje, snowwhite:) great if you're thirsty:)
Not so wierd. Go to a Mexican restraunt and order a Mexican brew and it will be served with a wedge of lime. Hefeweisen beer is served with a lemon slice. Some restraunts serve beer with an orange.
In Scotland, that's more or less what they call a "Shandy". It's a ladies' drink, they say. I loved 'em!
I went to a Governor's restaurant near Bangor. I am from the West Coast and had never been to the North East. I was so excited to see all of the history that I was on the go everyday. The restaurants have pictures of all of Maine's governors and cake slices that are ten inches high and franks and beans as an entree. So, I'll bet the ice cream thing was exotic compared to the bland but delicious food. I mean you couldn't even get French bread with your spaghetti.
Load More Replies...Like the lady who wanted a cheeseburger but with no cheese... Oh you want a hamburger? NO a cheeseburger with no cheese. So they gave her a hamburger but rung her up the extra 50 cents for the cheeseburger. Some people...
This reminds me of a scene in "Undercover Brother" where Denise Richards gives Eddie Griffin an over-mayonnaised mayonnaise sandwich. I nearly died.
Yes lol one of the best scenes, I loved his watch that dispensed emergency hot sauce XD
Load More Replies...Sometimes people in poverty have to learn to eat some pretty basic but calorie laden stuff to survive, and it can kinda become an aquired taste. This story makes me feel sad wondering about this lady's life circumstances.
For me this is sad. I remember my cousins introducing me to mayo or mustard and crackers, which actually are pretty tasty. The reason they knew about is because sometimes that's all they had. It may be this was what passed as comfort food for her.
Woman ordered a personal pizza - sub cheddar for mozz, sub mayo for tomato sauce. I said "I won't make that." Server insisted. I made a no sauce cheddar personal and gave her a side of mayo. For dipping.
Well, I did develop a taste for salad dressing and melba toast. Still like the taste of it.
This should be illegal... starbucks should be required by law to stop at a certain calorie count
I was wondering the same thing. And also the various creams and milks.

No. No, he did not impress his date. She thought he was obnoxious and trying to show off, but instead revealed his ignorance. At least, that would be me if I were his date.

Well, there aren’t supposed to be bubbles in wine, right? Did you ruin it by pouring it badly?
Effervescence is common in wines because of a chemical reaction. There are also many sparkling wines that do not fall into champagne or champagne-imitation category.

How dare you not know all American phrases and initials. The FBI will be there to speak to you shortly.
Load More Replies...Not quite the same but we used to have a fast food place called Georgie Pie, their shakes were not great, but it was cheap and did the job. One day I ordered one along with some nuggets and sweet ‘n sour sauce. I just couldn’t drink the shake this day, too bland, and for a laugh mixed in my extra packet of sauce. Oh my goodness, it was so good. Always got sauce to mix in after that.
Man, I just can't leave the subject of autism today - autism usually includes unusual sensory experiences. Might be over-stimulated by light, sound, smell, taste, touch. Might also have strange eating habits - eat same thing every meal, unusual taste combinations, etc. My friend likes eating carrots with almost every meal. Usually the main ingredient. She also likes to drink the brine in kippers - which she also eats frequently - or even from olives. I try to remind her how much salt or whatever she's consuming when she does it and how it might affect her eventually, but apart from that it's her mouth not mine. She can eat what she wants. You just don't know what story is behind all these taste sensations.
I was like "ew but it's his problem" until I found out which sauce it is and now... why do I live in this country?
Yes, but then she wouldn't have anything to bitch about. Sorry you were the recipient of this douchebaggery.
Odd. I'd have just asked for some cups and got the almond milk from the store
Unless they have, yet again, changed the guidelines, you're not meant to eat tuna when pregnant.
Load More Replies...Earlier in the lockdown I ended up making a BLT on cinnamon raisin bread. It was illegal-levels of good.
Sounds good. I like sausage and egg on cinnamon raisin bagels from DD.
Was this customer pregnant? Or possibly, did you notice red, stoned eyes? Because those are the two states when people eat the weirdest s**t.
Mix milk and lemon. Strain. Cottage cheese. Have on crackers with fruit.
Load More Replies...I had the exact opposite...ordered a tea and the waitress (teenage girl, so I think she just didn't know better) put milk and lemon in it! I pointed out that it curdled the milk and she stood there arguing with me until I asked for the manager. Guess the kid didn't even know what curdled milk looked like, because she swore the tea looked fine! Manager was less than thrilled with her, to say the least.
The minute it hits your stomach milk will curdle. Cottage cheese is curdled milk. There is absolutely nothing wrong with drinking curdled milk. Lemon ice cream was curdled but when it was stirred in the ice cream freezer it smoothed out.
For me it's not the curdling itself that's gross, it's the texture of the milk flakes in the drink.
Load More Replies...Yeah, cheese tea. Haven't you heard of it? It's like, so trendy right now. Like, you can't be popular without never drinking cheese tea. /S
Growing up, I would mix half-OJ, half-milk and drink it really fast. I called it my orange creamsickle (and my little brother would gag whenever I ate it)
Woah, I didn't know you could order swamp water with whipped cream at Starbucks!
Oh, yeah, it's a new limited time special! XD
Load More Replies...Either arson or murder...I'd assume both just to be safe though
Load More Replies...Raw cinnamon? O.ô What about the coumarin cinnamon contains? Too much (>0,1 mg à 1 kg of bodyweight) of it can be really dangerous for your body... In combination with coffeebeans & as that concentrated caffine (increasing blood pressure) ... -- it depends on the regular health, the amount, the type and how often a 'snack' like that is taken... but it surely doesn't sound like a healthy snack. Sry - cousin got into ER due eating too much cinnamon once (since then she never again followed any 'challenge')
The cinnamon sticks I would understand if she sucked on them, but not eat them. As for the coffee beans, don't knock it till you try it. I used to do that though I did prefer them covered in dark chocolate first. It's not that bad.
I call BS on this one. A cinnamon stick is just that -- a stick! It is like a fruit roll up but made of dried tree bark. I mean the damage
Yes, because milk from a human would be weird. We only do milk from cow tiddies here, ma'am!
Technically a restaurant cant use any outside liquids or ingredients. Its a contamination issue, as well as a legal one. BOH would have a field day! We can do things, like serve store bought cake you bring in, because we do nothing to it besides maybe light candles & cut it for you...
As someone whose worked in the food service industry for too many years before I got a better job. No. Not only is this a health code violation, but also a company violation, this is why most companies won't allow outside food or liquids in places that serve them. To top it all of its an OSHA violation in the U.S. because it's considered a body fluid just like saliva or blood. All animal milk is pasteurized, making it safe to consume. Human milk is not, and not only that but if you have any type of transmissible disease it could in theory be passed through breast milk just like blood or saliva. Hence the OSHA safety hazard if they had been forced to use it. Even hospitals do extensive testing on any donated breast milk due to this.
why do we not sell breast milk? i mean, sure, sounds weird, but babies drink it, why not grown humans? just employ women and use those machines for pumping breast milk into bottles and sell it! (i'm gonna get downvoted into oblivion for this, i know it, but had to say it)
So many health code violations... If she wants her breast milk, she can drink it at home
Because, if it wasn't really human breast milk or it was spoiled or, or, or ... and she got sick - you KNOW she'd sue...
Some people have a love affair with ketchup. My niece loves to dip her pizza crusts in ketchup.
Oh god i have such a story about ketchup and pizza crust. So in kindergarten I didn't know there was a difference between Ketchup and pizza sauce. So when We had one of those pizza party things, I ASKED FOR KETCHUP TO EAT WITH MY PIZZA. The teacher looked at me like I was insane. she asked if I wanted Pizza sauce. I had no idea what pizza sauce was so I said no. The moment I took a bite I knew I screwed up but choked the rest down so I didn't look dumb. Prides a bitch.
Load More Replies...NOOOOOO !! I was a high end Chef for 35 years and some of the bizarre stuff I was asked for I just simply said ,' no, f**k off out of my restaurant', however, I found out last year from a Front of House person who I employed 25 years ago, that one of our best customers at that time, who loved my individual Beef Wellington with peppercorn and Stilton sauce would bring his own ketchup with him and smother the dish with it ...... the waiters and waitresses never told me at the time because they knew I would have banned the philistine and he was a good tipper (and to be fair, a nice guy, just no f*****g culinary taste !!)
I feel your pain. One of my regular customers insists on spending $28 on a fresh beautiful filet.....cooked extra well done. Then smothers it with ketchup. I explained to him that the 6 oz sirloin is only $9 and I swear I can make it taste just as bad. His response was, "I like filets though." No sir, no you don't, you've never properly enjoyed one.
Load More Replies...Ketchup is tomato jam. Each serving is more than half sugar--I can see the addiction! Personally I'd put mayo on anything...😜
I use sriracha which is basically a chile ketchup. Horseradish, Siriracha, and mustard mix is my current go-to dressing.
What is with people blending their drinks with things that are clearly not meant for blending.
I believe there is (or was) a YouTube channel dedicated to "Does it blend?" Turns out a surprising amount of things DO blend!

Maybe they had a medical condition. I used to work with a man who was unable to eat hard food,he was making himself shakes from pizza for exemple. . .
My boyfriend is on a keto diet. At least he likes to think he is, he certainly doesn't have difficulty in wolfing down things I bake. Anyway, he drinks butter coffee. It's literally just coffee and a couple of large pats of butter blended together. Yes, it's as terrible as it sounds.
Well when you think about butter is just churned cream

yeah Keto can be eating can be odd at times, did it myself for the lasy year. Also if hes doing butter coffee theres premade ones from Kitu on Amazon. And also he should technically use Ghee not butter.
Too bad there weren't cucumbers. Cucumbers, tomatoes, and house dressing is delicious.
"Salad, but hold the lettuce" is not a phrase I think I've ever heard before. Or expected to hear, ever.
Yes, that much milk in a tea will result in what my Nan called "gnats piss".
Load More Replies...Milk goes in lots of teas quite well. But it is unusual to have more milk than tea.
My grandma had half hot water, half milk and wave a tea bag over it. Revolting. The stuff posh hotels in London serve as tea is almost as weak. Most of us like a proper strong brew that can dissolve a teaspoon.
Sounds East African. Tea is practically tea leaves boiled in very rich milk, with a blend of spices, lemongrass, etc.
I've blended a berry smoothie with instant coffee before. I imagine this is close except for the dragon fruit. Dragon fruit is yuck.
Eww, wouldn’t the iced coffee cuddle once the juice was poured in?
I just love that ur autocorrect changed it to 'cuddle' it shows you use that word a lot ^-^
Load More Replies...I mean I'm curious about this because I'd absolutely put the peach citrus juice in iced tea. In iced coffee 🤔
this actually doesn't sound THAT bad. it's like the pickles of this article. has potential but for specific people.
I work at a homeless shelter. Homeless people consume a lot of sugar. I don't know why.
Who ARE all these people? Must be related to Bug on MIB.
We used to eat white rice with milk, cinnamon, and sugar as kids. Maybe it's kind of like that? Sounds gross though and certainly not healthy.
My mom told me that they hat noodles with milk an sugar when she was younger. Still haven't tried it 😄
Penne rigate with sugar? My Italian blood boils at the sound of this XP
This reminds me of a guy I met in the Army. His parents didn't give him dessert as a kid. His work around was pouring sugar on everything. So there I sat in the mess hall, watching him pour sugar all over his mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, and chicken. I could hear him getting fatter.

From the looks of it, the lady really liked the cheesecake there. And, since she was ordering, why not toss in a coke and an orange soda to wash it down? One-stop shopping.
Coke and orange soda mixed together is AMAZING! It's called MezzoMix or Schpetzi in Germany

Used to get a fanta orange soda, an order of whole milk, and a brownie ala mode once or twice a week from my local "pizza shoppe". Effin delicious and always hit the spot! <3
I could see this if you were one of the only places to deliver. Not that you can eat that every day without some kind of consequences. I live in a small mountain town and if you want delivery you are really limited.
I delivered pizza and a guy added a special request for a pack of Marlboro Reds. It was raining and he was out of smokes. Paid for them and I got a great tip to boot!
I'm guessing that she would BBQ them at home? Maybe to trick her friends into thinking that she prepared them all herself? But then if this is the case why doesn't she just tell you to avoid an otherwise awkward request?
couldn't she have just bought chicken wings at the grocery store?

A half and half pint is half Guinness and half Harp. It a thing and surely what this guy was ordering. Is this person even really a bartender if they don’t know, or do they think no one else knows and they’d get away with this goofy story?
Imagining the customer's face after the bartender brings him half and half... And the story he tells his pub friends about the rookie bartender!

What does that sugar free caramel do? Is it like sugar free gummi bears?
The more I see of these "3 million pumps of artificial sweetener/sugar" creations the more I think these people are likely quite constipated but think they are doing well never using laxatives. Or have an eating disorder and know exactly what they are doing
It's a bowl containing a mission for you and your friends to go on a perilous journey to defeat an evil wizard.
Load More Replies...That's a "bullet coffee". It's sometimes used for dieting. You drink this in the morning; the caffeine will start your metabolism (and your day) the butter (the real kind, not margarine) will give your body just enough energy not to go in starvation mode. Than first meal after that is lunch. I've tried it couple of times, it's not as disgusting as it may sound. Just velvety/creamy coffee. Perfect breakfast for light mornings/hurry. (Just don't overdo on the butter.)
I've tried yak tea it while hiking up to 4500+ meters in Nepal... Not my cup of tea... Literally. (Ate massive amounts of garlic potatoes though. Very yummy and heaps of energy.)
Load More Replies...butter in coffee. I have a deceased relative who was known for putting butter in coffee. It's not only a thing, it's completely normal.
Butter cuts the bitterness of the coffee. I heard of doing this years and years ago. I don't drink coffee so I never tried it.
We put quac on tacos and that's ground beef and tomato too so it's not totally dissimilar... Though the meatball sauce is bit sweeter (I'm not saying it's good though).
Load More Replies...That's definitely not a thing in France. We do have some respect for the wine here. They do that in Spain though, it's called kalimotxo (and it's usually made with the cheapest red wine).
NEVER. EVER. Nobody I know would drink this, and I guess they would have a heart attack by seeing somebody doing such a thing (I would). I'm French and wine is just like a religion in my country. No water, no ice, no soda... Except rosé pamplemousse because rosé isn't really wine for many of us. And sangria.
Sometimes I mix white wine with sparkling mineral water (yes, even flavoured one, pomegranate being excellent), if the wine is too sour for my taste. Commonly done in Slovakia. I worked in a winery for two summers back in the day and it was considering refreshing on hot days. Like beer and sprite.
That’s called a wine spritzer, it’s a thing, but never heard of cola and red wine, but apparently it’s a thing in Spain?
Load More Replies...Here in México we have vanilla ice-cream with Cabernet Sauvignon :D
Its a thing, don't know specifically in France, but it is a drink. Like white wine and sprite or soda... :)
My mother asks for a poached egg on her oatmeal. She likes the way it tastes. The idea of it makes me very uncomfortable.
It’s a chocolate margarita, it tastes pretty nice imo. Maybe it wasn’t being prepared properly.
Like a customer of mine who wanted a 2 karat diamond but wanted it to sit flat on her finger. Sorry, I can't do that without drilling a hole in your finger for it to sit in. I can't change the laws of physics, nitwit.
You could probably have pulled that off with a baguette cut diamond.
Load More Replies...I'm game enough to try it. I love cilantro and hard boiled eggs. But, I can't recall having them together.
you can put them in a salad: eggs, cilantro, green onion, cucmber, red radishes and sour cream)
Load More Replies...Honestly, the toppings don't bother me nearly as much as the burned pizza.
My mom used to make us leftover meatloaf sandwiches. White bread (those were the days), Meatloaf and mayo. Cold, yes and I liked it.
In order to preserve my faith in humanity, I’m hoping that at least some of these were dares and not actual personal preferences
Had a gal come and get a double espresso. Half an hour later she came back. Again another 30 minutes. Again. Again. Again. Again. Again. She wasn't even shaking at any time, just slowly adding to her collection of potential strokes.
Perhaps they like to keep the espresso for later or to share. I personally sometimes add a cube of ice to a very hot drink or soul to cool it down just enough to drink/eat without watering it down. That might be the case here.
Many years ago, when I was young, I would have called that "breakfast". Probably would have washed a jumbo maple bar down with it too!
In Italy, many pizzas are prepared without tomato sauce or cheese. In Rome, the best pizzeria I ever went to served one with only zucchini, olive oil and boiled herbs (like wild medicinal / aromatic ones) and it was great.
Chocolate on pizza isn't weird, as long as you're not adding the chocolate to like cheese and tomato sauce and garlic, or whatever
Dessert pizza is amaaaaaaazing. Add bananas, custard and chocolate. Mmmmm. And I add mayo to pizza occasionally too.
The latter pizza is proper pizza. Not american bastardization of a tradicional italian dish.
Chocolate/dessert pizzas are in fact a real thing. Usually bought for parties. The latter pizza sounds gross but again not that weird.
The person must be in love with the the special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun.
They could have saved some money ordering Mac sauce on a McDouble and holding the meat.
She has been perfecting that for months, it's the only answer. She has experimented with more and less until finally homing in on the 'perfect' amount.

Some people are very sensitive to the acid in tomatoes, but should use a bit of sugar.
Not that much sugar, but you are correct. I make Mac 'n Cheese with a 1/2 tsp of sugar. Def. cuts down on the acid for some reason even though lots of sugar does the opposite
Load More Replies...Definitely american. Addicted to sugar. Obese. Disrespectful of food an its cultural value.
What kind of animal goes to a fast food joint and pretends they're in a Michelin-starred restaurant??
Not that unusual, especially for people who are cutting down on carbs.
I live in Sweden and many burger-restaurants have this on the menu, lettuce instead of bread. It's actually pretty tasty, very crispy and you don't feel as full afterwards :)
Really? Never heard of it other than when ppl special order it.
Load More Replies...Yeah, I know of lots of restaurants that do sandwiches and burgers like this as a low-carb option
Not unusual of keto, low carb or gluten free. Basically a lettuce wrap. Cabbage works well too.
that's actually a thing in some restaurants. They usually sort of roll it up to make it easier to eat.
I saw a place that sliced the edges off a head of iceberg so the lettuce bun was vaguely bun-shaped.
Load More Replies...I like mixing orange juice and milk. One just has to finish it quickly before it curdles :P (And I'd go about 1/3 orange juice, not half-half)
I mean drinking it like that so it doesn't curdle is genius, though
Actually it's quite a common drink all over the world. Here in South Africa it's called a Katemba.
Do people drink Guinness and Coke in SA? Big in Kenya and Tz.
Load More Replies...Not odd at all :) In Sweden (guess elsewhere too) we have a drink called "Dagens" (Today in swedish) that's white wine topped with soda water or sprite. Actually really good.
cheese and jam are really good together, so why not. I'm more concerned about the omelette thing...does she mean galette?
I am pretty sure she means a literal omelet. Somewhere fancy the eggs would be folded around the filling. Somewhere less fancy, the filling would be plopped in the middle of the eggs while they cook.
Load More Replies...I took mine once, but one drink and she was catatonic. I'll go now XD
Load More Replies...Sometimes it's easier just to deal with your pet's quirks than try and train them out lol
My mom does this. Well, not quite. She dips like one tea leaf for one second, in hot water. Just so "it doesn't taste like just hot water". Ick.
My aunt's tea is so weak, she might as well just run past the teapot waving the teabag at it .
Load More Replies...My FiL always drank hot water with a bit of cream in it. His stomach couldn't handle the acids in tea or coffee, but he wanted something hot. Never seemed that odd to me.
In Sweden we add a little bit of honey and it's called silver tea :)
We used to do this at cocktail parties as students. It was still nasty.
A dirty pint is what we used to call that, we got my friend one on his 21st birthday and he passed out not long after, not legal to serve like that though, we had to buy all the shots separately and pour them in ourselves.
That used to be called a Bastard when I was a student and was the cause of at least 2 stomach-pumping incidents that I witnessed. When you've seen the paramedics hoofing it through the college bar to drag out an unresponsive rugby player you know it's all gone too far
I had an obsession in elementary school that if school lunch was pizza the topping and crust had READ ABSOLUTELY HAD to be eaten separate from the rest or the world would blow up with the screams of bratty child. I have fixed this problem and now live like a functioning member of society.
Load More Replies...It is basically the same as bread sticks and marinara. Usually the same dough is used for both. I wouldn't do it but I see no issue with it.

Load More Replies...Our local petrol station keeps their coffee grounds and gives them out free to those who want them. Waste not want not
It's great for compost and if you sprinkle a little damp coffee grounds or tea leaves on the floor before sweeping, it keeps all the floor dust and pet hair clumped together!
Load More Replies...Sounds very economic to me. Why throw away something that someone else needs.
Yeah, I've made body scrubs from used coffee grounds several times. Usually with sugar and olive or coconut oils. Good and scrubby and the caffeine has skincare benefits too. You can also sprinkle used grounds on top of the soil of your houseplants as an occasional nutritional boost.
To me that is not unusual, I have heard people do this many times.
No joke, coffee grounds make an excellent body scrub (I would avoid the face).
This person may be autistic or OCD. It might be annoying but they are not hurting anyone. Just be kind and humor them.
I get these all the time... rye, neat with a side of ice, side of gingerale, one lemon wedge and one lime wedge. Sometimes I have to use the daiquiri machine to shave a bit of ice because a customer wants a mixed drink with fine ice instead of cubed. They do this because it’s easier for them to adjust the taste themselves.
Simple solution here.... just bring a thermos for them to put it in if you have a long journey, it'll keep it hot and not ruin the drink. Are we so used to disposable cups we don't even think about other options?
Local coffee shop doesn't have single use cups. You can hire or buy a reusable cup. You get money back on returning the cup if you hire it. Lots of reusable cups are well insulated now.
Load More Replies...Omigod - I've just googled this (lav lemonade) and it's a thing ; I can not think of anything more vomitworthy ....
lavender lemonade and thai tea are good by themselves, but mixed.....
Could have been an ANZAC veteran. Rum and milk was a drink given at to the ANZAC soldiers at breakfast to prepare them for battle.
Your comment reminded me. I recently heard of ANZAC cookies and whipped myself up a batch. Those things are amazing! Talk about home comforts in a time of need.
Load More Replies...It’s actually nice, my mum used to give it to me as a kid when I was in pain (it was the 80s and only a little, it’s what her mum did for her). Made it bearable to drink. Lots of people I know used to drink it back in the day.
Rum and milk is good, but rum floated over a vanilla yogurt is trememdous!
I'm more baffled that there is an option to choose that? Who invented cucumber syrop?
It's nice for some sweet syrups. It tastes really good when you make a drink with it - with bubble water, watermelon syrup
Load More Replies...What kind of pizza has bbq in it?? Only an american would be THAT disrespectful!
Local pizzerias up here do a chicken, bacon, and ranch pizza that has alfredo sauce and it tastes awesome. Got talked into trying some and loved it.
There's a Russian burger place in Los Angeles that gives gloves with their burgers. Ew.
Mayonnaise is pretty normal to have on salads, so I don’t see how that is bad.
in England they use this stuff called Salad Cream for salads. It's like thick liquid mayo and is so gross.
Well, water with frueit syruo doesn't sound like a horrible idea. Fruity water is nice BUT 12 PUMPS is a bit much I think. 1-2 I would understand but 12!?
What's with adding that syrup thing to everythinf? It's basically liquid diabetes!
okay so a lot of my family members used to work at Starbucks and I would get that sometimes If I had already had a hot drink tasted good to me as I was 7
Not so weird. I drink just hot water often. Easy on the body and helps aid in digestion
This seems like a strangely popular thing to do. my question is how do they find out they like it..?
I mean, if you have children I'm sure you've tasted baby food at some point just to see what it's like. If she likes it, she's got it on-tap, at least for a while.
Load More Replies...maybe, but i don't think there are cooked onions in grocery stores.
Load More Replies...I get that in the drive thru all the time. But my dog doesn't need a bun or veggies. She just likes the burger. Definitely confused the person at first, so they told me to just say it's for a dog. Next time, I did...and they gave it to me on a pancake platter instead of in a wrapper and even threw in an extra patty for her!
Hot whiskey. Learned that it was a thing among young Irish people when I visited Cork some years ago. It’s whiskey, spoiled with hot water, sugar, cloves and a slice of lemon. Initially I thought it was a waste of whiskey, but the taste is actually not that bad, at least not with the Irish brands (since they are not smokey, like most Scotch ones)
I don't know why this is so fascinating but it is. We all probably have quirks but have no idea. Salami sandwich with American cheese and sliced tomatoes and... Miracle Up is totally normal, right?
I eat peas with honey, I've done it all my life. It may taste kind of funny, but it keeps them on the knife.
I have adult restrictive food intake disorder, basically I’m such a picky eater that it’s a diagnosis. Most nights I eat just plain boiled pasta with salt and cheese on top. I have ordered it many times at restaurants. I’m always curious checking these lists to see if I’ve made it on, but so far not.
Is it just me or do most of these posts reflect keto or ketchup addictions?
They seem like a lot of people who don't understand what things really are
Before my local Subway burned down, I mixed all four drinks they sold from their dispenser (at the time it was Coke, Diet Coke, Orange Fanta and Sprite). It was actually better than I expected, but not nice enough to try a second time. And one my roommate and I made at home consisted of cheap Cherryade and Budweiser. It was nasty as hell, so we aptly named it "Rank".
