Friday Foodie Frivolity

Dear Waiters in Pittsburgh,

Item 1: The s in the final syllable of Niçoise is annunciated enunciated. You aren't subtly correcting me when you repeat it back to me incorrectly.

Item 2: Please stop saying Steak au "poave". It sounds like you're offering me "Poor Man's Steak."

Item 3: The second syllable in bruschetta is pronounced as a hard c. Seriously. I swear to god.

Love,
IOZ

PS Evidently my own spelling is religious.

Hey IOZ, I've been having a little trouble lately telling my ass from a hole in the ground. Think you could help?

Congrats on your newfound freedom, IOZ. I always wondered what you looked like.

Dear Customer,

Go fuck yourself.

Anyone who eats nicoise is a tasteless cunt who gets what's coming to him. Illiterate waitstaff, obviously.

This post is on like a scone.

(In one correct version of the pronunciation of "scone", it rhymes with the preposition "on". Hence, my point. Nobody at shops selling coffee seems to know this and I get incorrected all the time. Why do I bother stubbornly and bullheadedly persisting in this pronunciation? Must be my abiding love for humanity and my sincere desire to better its lot bwahahahHAHAH..ahem...)

Gosh, the two resident dorks of IOZ's comments find love with each other. It's almost enough to bring a tear to a jaded old cynic's eye.
