Scallops
Sorry if it's a bit out of topic.

For the last 3 months I've been living in Sweden. Everything gets paid for the company and I get to eat in very expensive restaurants. Not that I really fancy them, as I always feel I've paid too much for too little food, but some times you only want something warm at your hotel instead of wandering in the cold night looking for a place to eat.

Anyway, last Thursday I stayed in Gothenburg in a very fine hotel. Very cool, with gym and jacuzzi and sauna and all those things. As I got there late and was quite hungry I just went to the hotel restaurant which I knew would be expensive.

I ordered a starter which (from the description of the menu) consisted in scallops a bed of lentils and potato puree with asparagus. All for the reasonable price of £15.

Not too bad, I thought, until the dish came. It had ONE scallop and ONE asparagus. ONE!!! For that money they could at least put 2. Tight twats.

hotel restaurants..
are to be avoided. so what if it's cold, go get a decent meal in a restaurant that doesn't treat customers as a captive resource.

I still remember...
...tucking into 500ml of lager in Bergen Airport. Cost a mere £7.50.

Was
it the very rare Giant Dimpled Scallop though? Bet you didn't check that before appearing all affronted.

No, it wasn't
It was a normal Scallop. That, a bit of beef (healthy option, so no side anything) and a beer: £45

Anyway, Sweden is just expensive, but you can have a lot of shushi very cheap!!!
