Does it distract you too much from your dinner?

I despise it. Does it mean that I can only have ground pepper on my
salad? Why can't I have ground pepper on my main dish too? I
actually called them over to grind pepper on my main back in the day
and have a feeling I'm not the only one who did it or else pepper
grinders on the table wouldn't be as common as they are now.

My wife does not like it when they come around and offer it before she
has even tasted it. She has been known to ask them to come back in a few
minutes.
FWIW... I have not seen any places around here that have pepper mills on
the table.

I agree completely. What would the chef think if I salted my meal without tasting it? Or poured ketchup on it? (A little extreme, however "it looks like it might need it".)

I have occasionally, it's very nice. However, I must say I've never tasted the pepper to determine its quality. I should do that next time.

I don't give a hoot what the chef would think. Why should I?

Not that I would salt or pepper something without tasting it, but I
don't give a rip what the chef thinks, either. I'm the one paying for
it. I'm not there to stroke his or her ego.

And he was saying that's the attitude they project when peppering
something Dave's wife hasn't tasted yet. Same thing with the parmesan
cheese they bring around. They get to you before you've taken a bite.

Huge phallic symbol? Well, we see where your mind is at. You maybe
need
to find a boyfriend that lives closer.

My dick is considered large but it doesn't look anything like a
pepper grinder. hahaha
