I have a genuine question
So, you're at a restaurant and there is a dish comprising sliced beef served on a bed of rocket with cheese shavings on top. You don't like rocket and so ask for it to be served with potatoes. The dish turns out to be rather bland as the combination of peppery rocket, cheesy cheese and beef is really the key to this dish.

Can you complain that you don't like it as if it's somehow the restaurants fault?

if you order something and don't like it
then that is not the restaurant's fault anyway. less so if you have asked for them to change their dish

That's what I thought
this wasn't me either, it was someone I was with, luckily we managed to get her not to moan by giving her bits of our dinner. It has to be said the original dish wasn't actually very interesting either, but without rocket and cheese it was just oily beef and potatoes, they should have just said no, but I guess the customer is always right.

I figured it wasn't you
because of this bit "as if it's somehow the restaurants fault"

also, you're not that stupid.

it doesn't sound particularly interesting. was it carpaccio sort of thing?

if you decide to customise a restaurant's dish
and in doing so make it shite, it's your own stupid fault and you should shut up and eat it, whilst cheese-grating your bell-end.

I could eat the seekh kebabs night and day
Fucking marvellous. Overall the dishes are less hot than round the corner aren't they? I'll be inclined to take my less hardcore friends there as a first choice over Tayyab's for that very reason, but given the choice, for my palate, Tayyab's still wins. An honourable second place though.

Problem is
people are idiots. Just because they've got someone who is customer facing and therefore can't openly tell them they're being a twat, they think that they're correct a lot more often than they actually are.

I don't know what he was banned for previously, I'm sure there were legitimate reasons behind it, but it does seem that recently people are getting pulled up for things which are clearly just jokes and nothing malicious... I just don't really get it.

guy with tiny penis gets a horses one grafted on instead. Goes round pleasuring women, ends up shagging the wrong person's wife, gets made to shag the horse-wife of the horse who's knob he has.

meanwhile, his wife turns into a prostitute in a high class brothel. one of the things she learns to do is write with a paintbrush inserted.

it's quite amusing.

Yes you can complain, as that is not what you ordered. It would seem to me, in the first instance you should send it back - you asked for potatoes not rocket. And as such you expect a plate of potatoes, cheese and beef, no rocket.
