Fine Dining : Or Now For Something Different

in funny •  7 years ago 

As I have mentioned before I am the eldest of 6 Children , perfectly planned , 3 Boys First and then 3 Girls, and although I don't really recall it , we sometimes had hard times , I remember being mocked about wearing my Grandfather's Trouser's to School .
So what, I could punch harder than most!

We obviously did not eat out much ,

as a matter of fact I , don't remember doing so, other than Picnic's and I loved buying takeaway Chips , when I could.

Skip a few years, I am Married to Chris , Henry , to her Sister, Elize. We are both Working Overtime on a Friday night at the Post Office ( which at that time ran the Telecommunications Network in South africa).

I forget the Hotel Name but they were having the First, All You can eat Carvery , I had ever heard of?

We have an Hour Supper Break , Henry and I head off there as we will be working till about 2200Hrs.

It was Great as I recall I had 5 plates and Henry had 4 .

Our time was just about up , so I walked up to the Manager , told him the food was excellent ( really) but unfortunately we were not able to take advantage of their offer as we had to get back to work.

When we got Back to the Jeppe street Building , we enthused about our Meal so much , a Couple of the other Guys went there and soon came back , somewhat Crestfallen!

The all you can eat sign was crossed out? unbelievable, they could have used us as an advert to encourage normal people to eat there?

Years Later I worked at a Computer Company called Systems Integration , and a couple of

The Managers and the Owner took me out to Lunch , saying they had finally found something that I would not Manage? Amateurs, it was a 2.5 Kg Steak which I sorted out in no time, Much Respect Earned.

Occasionally I still hit the Porterhouse nowadays but age has caught up with me. and I am quite content with one plate.

We have some really bad spelling on signs here and where I saw Restaurants advertising Gluten free, I thought it was an outright way of banning me from the premises ,

as soon as I found out what Gluten actually entailed ,and had nothing to do with Gluttons, I realised I was welcome anywhere!

I have never posted a photo of myself on Steemit, but I am living proof that Food does not make you fat,

Perhaps talking about Food?, or discussing Diets , makes one pick up weight? I have always been skinny!

and I'm a living proof that food can make you fat, that's why I'm on a diet :D is that the actual steak you had, looks yum !!

No just a good reminder, I love a T-Bone, you have just reminded me that I have not had one in quite a while?

Haha, you go and enjoy another nice steak and then post the picture to tempt us :)

Great post!! To the steakhouse!! I'm very hungry now, Upvoted! Followed!! :) Have a great day!!

Thank You , Followed you.

WORKOUT AND EAT ( TONS), i mean , if life is sometimes so cruel , why not enjoy FOOD as it only seems to be something that hasn't disappoint me so far ...

All you can eat.. In my country the restaurants are opening daily... but only a few can really eat that much... most people make this mistake by starting soup with a lot of very nice bread... then you stop after 2 plates..

Eat to live my father always said. Great post my friend @awgbibb
