Pizza in the office..

[sacredtheory]

I know the Hawaiian has a devoted following so does Michael Bolton or GWAR doesn't mean it belongs in the office.

+1 rep for mentioning GWAR in any capacity.

What really cracks me up is when I take someone to a restaurant.. I find something I really like at a given restaurant and order it every time, since I know what I will get and that I will like it. The person with me can't possibly order the food they had last time even though they liked it, because they HAVE to try something different. They get their food and can't stand it, but I am the one who is a picky eater because I stuck to the same old food I knew I would like.

I do this too... Once I find a dish at a particular chain that I really like, I order it every time... I'm not being boring... It's not like it's same dish at every single restaraunt. I have a different favorite at each place...

I wasn't calling you anything.

When I read your op I couldn't quit thinking about the office and your post looked like it could be written by her character. So I posted a pic.

LoL.. not offended or anything, just couldn't see the connection .. Not a big Office fan, so I didn't recognize her..

I look at it this way.. if I am going to pay for the meal, I want to know I will like it. It isn't so much being picky as pragmatic..

To the person who just doesn't repeat a restaurant, that's great in a big city, but here in Montana, if we have more than 2 restaurants in a town, we call it a city. I happen to be in the biggest city in Montana, so I have like, over a dozen to choose from.

Fyre enough with the pizza picky eater thing, back to the shroud with you!

Why, is there some pepperoni pizza there?

hehe

Everyone should just order a black olive and salami stromboli with mozarella and the world would be a happy place.

I am both of the people, I don't eat that much due to it not being one of my hobbies and I am forced to do it just to be able to wake up the next day feeling relatively ok, so if I have to eat then make it something I want to eat. I can eat everything except fish and marmalade. I can handle fish with loads of mayonaise though

But you get these items that you can eat forever, every day in fact....but then life gives you a kick and they change the chef who makes your food just perfectly, and now won't give out his new place of business so I can go there instead It's not the same.....

But at the end of the day, I was taught to finish my meal and not to waste. If it's on a plate it will most likely be returned empty, which is why I don't order food for a group. I don't expect everyone to be able to handle the same range of tastes as me.

My 6 year old son is a very picky eater. I tell my wife that he will eventually grow out of this phase and that we just have to keep trying to introduce new foods. Now I am worried that he will never eat goat cheese and ostrich pizza!

put dandelions on it and tell him it's natural cotton candy and i be he will scarf it down

I thought I'd post this here because it just seem appropriate. As someone has already stated, tastes change. A lot of kids don't like veggies and will not until they have grown up. Hence this story:

My little brother and I never did like certain veggies. The usual broccoli and cauliflower were pretty much at the top of that list. Mind you, we both liked different ones, but rarely the same. The one we always eat were mashed potatoes. Who doesn't like them, right?

The one day when I was in grade 7 or 8, I had asked our dad what we were having for supper and he told that we were having pork chops, potatoes, and cooked carrots. Ok, sounded good to me. Later, I walked by the kitchen and had seen him finely chop up some cauliflower and dump it into the mashed potatoes.
Me: How long have you been doing THAT?!
Dad: Oh, this...for YEARS.
Me: You sneaky, conniving, bast--

And like he said, he had been doing that for years because we didn't like cauliflower while growing up. All the second (if not third) helping of mashed potatoes. We ate it all up.

So I felt that I had to tell that story. I know some of you that are parents are probably gonna try that on their veggie-picky children.

Oh, and another thing: Apparently you can put butter nut squash in pumpkin pies and you would probably not even tell the difference. Yes, he had done THAT for years as well.

So what's the rub? Well, the pizza arrives, and EVERYONE grabs a slice of pepperoni or sausage first. WHAT THE HECK!! They ordered some crazy combination of Goat cheese and jalepeno, then take the standby pepperoni! So I get to the table and guess what? My choices are the goat cheese, the onion with extra onion, or the Vegetarian delight. Of course, in the end, that is all that is left, since the one's who insisted there be the huge variety were only really interested in one slice of their personal preference.

Most excellent off-topic rant. I don't think I've ever had to coordinate a large office pizza order, but among friends at least I stipulate my requirements: I will require two slices of the pepperoni, and two of the sausage (or whatever relatively plain pizza I want), aside from that, order whatever y'all want. Woe unto them if I am denied my minimum requirements.

What really cracks me up is when I take someone to a restaurant.. I find something I really like at a given restaurant and order it every time, since I know what I will get and that I will like it. The person with me can't possibly order the food they had last time even though they liked it, because they HAVE to try something different. They get their food and can't stand it, but I am the one who is a picky eater because I stuck to the same old food I knew I would like.

My fiancee does this. Nothing about me being a picky eater comes up, but I choose a restaurant depending on the exact food I want. Burrito, pizza, lasagna, burger...these all come from specific places. She always has to try something new, and hates it. Then I have to share mine with her. Stupid (pre)marriage.
