I was confused by your emoji until I remembered how much you despise the term “bread service.” :laughing:

I’m glad this was your experience. My venison in June was tough and flavorless. Was a very disappointing 2 stars. :pensive: (But that roasted broccoli was delicious)

I didn’t know this! I dislike the term too, because it makes no sense to me!

Can’t wait for this either!

Yes! It’s the worst. It really makes me feel intense feelings every time I see or hear it.

Agreed. I will die on this hill.

It’s like someone is going to.stand there and spread the butter on your bread for you. I at least need as much service as when someone makes guac tableside.:joy:

:rofl: Right? If anything it’s a bread course. We don’t say appetizer service, dessert service, etc.

I’ve noticed — with an apparent lack of self-awareness — that Americans can be quite pompous with their language. There are lots of examples, of which this is one. And I can only think of one other right now: transportation. We say transport. What is the -ation adding to the word. You people do seem to like longer words and phrases.

“The bread at Jiko is great.” Enough said.

If it is bannas foster, or a baked alaska, maybe?

Apparently :fire: equals service in my mind.

See I think Transport is a verb, where as transportation is a noun.

Wrong. Because it comes with two types of bread and a very special butter. I’m okay with calling it “bread service” when it’s special.

“ation” turns a verb into a noun - I completely agree with your explanation. :wink:

Ahem don’t forget all those extra “u”s in British English. And the extra syllable in aluminum.

The extras syllable is because it used to have an extra “i” (Aluminium) before standardized (standardised) texts :roll_eyes::roll_eyes::laughing::laughing:

I will admit it sounds extra fancy. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

And yet we don’t routinely use it.
We call aluminum foil ‘Tin Foil’ :laughing::laughing:

I grew up calling it tin foil. I’m from New England, where we still cling to our British roots.

That’s what I grew up calling it too! Maybe I am Scottish?! :wink:
