The one that gets me is Serendipity's frozen hot chocolate. For some reason, people think it is a big deal and love to post pics of themselves with it on Facebook. The stuff looked rather tasteless to me. And then when they had to use one as an ingredient on Chopped, they said what I thought. It was tasteless. |

These places are not the norm and most people do not order them. We used to have in ice cream place called Farrells. Last time I checked, there were some in CA but no more here. One thing they sold was a huge sub type sandwich, the idea of which was to share between friends or for the whole family. They also had some ice cream concoction that started with a punch bowl. It was then filled with an assortment of various ice cream scoops, syrups, whipped cream, nuts, sprinkles, etc. And topped with little plastic animals which no doubt would no longer be allowed as they would be a choking hazard. The idea there was to order this for a kid's party. However, they would allow a single person to order it and if they could finish it, they would get a prize. And about once a month, someone would do this. Usually some guy. And they usually couldn't finish it. I think maybe it was free if they ate it all but I could be wrong on that. They also had a huge menu and it offered a variety of things in odd combinations. Also really cheap soda water. We had a waiter tell us that they could offer the soda water for so cheap because nobody ever ordered it. We did but it wasn't good. Not flat. They just didn't offer any lemon or lime with it so just kind of salty and boring. The other odd things were mostly for shock factor but he said that occasionally someone would order them. Desserts are not usually something I pay attention to as I never order them. But I have been to places with giant burgers, odd nachos and things like that. |

Some newspapers are not popular but I do think it is a very nasty put down to the poster, when someone instantly decries it without at least checking to see if the story is real. These are some of the companies quoted in the article and the pictures of that things they make.

The only one even remotely reasonable was the strawberry dipped in chocolate and then a swirl of chocolate over the dougnut with the fresh fruit in the center. -- |

Hi Ophelia, It's just a shock value sort of thing.

The portions in general are too large, I always feel I must eat everything on my plate and not waste but sometimes it is not possible. Currently I patronize a pub near here because the chef has agreed he will send me 'child' portions. I pay the regular price but don't have the guilt complex of leaving food ![]() |
