choux - // However, I would say "what kind of diner is this who eats half a french stick with a steak???"
No vegetables served with the steak? Good grief man, why not have 3 or 4 rounds of sandwiches before you go out? //
I only really like garden peas with steak, if they are available, just fries/chips if not.
// I have never seen anyone eat bread (let alone so much bread) with a steak. I am incredulous. I know some will say it is his meal he can have whatever he wants and he is paying for it, but not in my company he would. //
If you are someone whose pleasure in my company is dictated by what I choose, or not, to eat, and whether it meets your exacting standards, the chances of us eating out together would be slim to zero.
// Poor Mrs. Hughes. //
Mrs Hughes has no problems enjoying meals out with me, her enjoyment is not dictated by what I do or do not choose to eat from the menu - nor is mine by hers.
That's why we have been enjoying each other's company over dinner for forty-one years, and counting.
