I invited my friend Nick to try a new restaurant
with me. This restaurant was the latest
thing, and since Nick was a
foodie, I thought he would have
an interesting take on the meal.
...
Anita: So, what did you think of the first
course?
Nick: I thought it was passable.
Anita: Just passable?
Nick: Yes, it was a run-of-the-mill
dish you could find in any fine dining
restaurant. No gourmet would be
bowled over by it.
Anita: Oh, I thought it was pretty good. What
about the main course?
Nick: I thought the fish wasn’t
seasoned properly and it was a
touch overcooked.
Anita: I’m sorry to hear that.
Nick: And the wine pairing was all
wrong.
Anita: I’m not a wine aficionado, so I
guess my palate isn’t as
sophisticated as yours. I thought the
wine was wonderful.
Nick: Hmm, in my opinion, the entire meal was
forgettable.
...
That was the last time I invited Nick to join me
for a meal. I thought the meal was delicious,
but Nick’s comments left a bad taste in my
mouth!
