These days more and more high end eateries serve packets, they're far
cleaner, and cost less due to far less wastage/spoilage... your high
end eateries serve national brand name dressings that they buy in
gallon jugs and pour into cruets... that Italian snob joint you love
is very likely serving Wishbone. Salad dressings are easy to doctor
with a pinch of chopped fresh herbs and some schmuck in a monkey suit
comes around with a giant pepper grinder. I bet yoose don't know that
a goodly percentage of those peppercorns are dry mouse turds... any
time I ate out I brought my own pepper grinder.... I don't use the
pepper shaker on the table either, when yoose buy ground pepper a
goodly portion is dry mouse turds. I don't buy any ground spices, I
only buy whole spices, pick them over carefully and grind my own.
Yoose have no idea what goes on in the food industry. Oh, and I don't
need to go to a high end eatery, I KNOW HOW TO SHOP AND I KNOW HOW TO
COOK. Many high end eateries serve previously frozen meat... yoose
who buy steaks on sale to fill your freezer are food imbeciles... once
a steak is frozen it's soup/stew meat.
