i was reviewing a french restaurant last night ...
i also had mussels for the first time, baked in a hot garlic butter sauce

You were paid to review a restaurant without ever having eaten mussels? What newspaper do you work for?

i got some fucking awesome ravioli in a restaurant in Caesars Palace a few years back, but mostly i'm pretty happy with my beans on toast - it's the food of the gods, you know.

Your not wrong there mate i could live on the stuff meself an if made usin brown toast its one of the best things you can eat if ur vegetarian, close to a full days RDA of protein so im told.

Hehe
I'm not, dear, don't worry - I'm not Ms. B Haven. I just don't know if I'd trust a food review written by someone who had never eaten mussels. Would you trust a record review written by someone who had never heard, I dunno, Nirvana? No offence like, I'm sure you did a good job of the review and all, but I'd imagine you'd have done a better one if the paper had arranged for your culinary horizons to be broadened a bit beforehand

Yeeeeeeeeeow!

Does that mean you wouldn't trust a food review written by a vegitarian?

my goodness - so you're saying people should have an opinion on something before they write something about it? that's ridiculous.

and again, just so i can reiterate - when i do a review, i get the opinion of the person im eating with so I know what they thought of their meal. and the other person had mussels. and they said they were good. and coincidentally, i did too.

science.

Depends on the restaurant. A review of a veggie restaurant by a veggie is fine. A review of the veggie option in a regular restaurant may or may not be useful, depending on the restaurant (veggie options are often poorer than meat options, especially in Ireland). I'd certainly like to know that the reviewer was vegetarian

Eh ... no. I'm saying someone should have a certain base level of knowledge of the subject on which they're writing the review. I wouldn't trust a wine review or review of a rock record written by my da, for example. Is that so crazy?

I wouldn't read a music review by anyone who hadn't eaten mussels.

Eh ... no. I'm saying someone should have a certain base level of knowledge of the subject on which they're writing the review. I wouldn't trust a wine review or review of a rock record written by my da, for example. Is that so crazy?

Does your da not eat mussels?

Eh ... no. I'm saying someone should have a certain base level of knowledge of the subject on which they're writing the review.

and i do. for the third and last time, he ordered the mussels, not me.

can we pls get back to pleasant food experiences? ta.
