Gotta love textbook propaganda! But don't worry, religion solves everything, so long as you follow the right one!

Shawarma isn't a religious dish, people

I hate health inspectors and that whole kind of thing. You think I don't know this little hole-in-the-wall takeaway joint is a total mire of filth? I couldn't care less, I want my [INSERT GREASY FOOD ITEM HERE] goddamnit!   

100% agree there. I want my food to have character, even if that is a risk of salmonella.

Barbarians! Savages! Visigoths!

Now imagine barely understanding English and understanding what a "Moons-over-my-Hammy" is.

I have a Cambridge degree in spoken English* and I have no idea what that means either

*_{it was in high school and it's lapsed but let me have something dammit}

My work gets constant inspections, and I've chatted with a lot of the inspectors. For the most part, they say that the stereotypical horrors of commercial kitchens are more fable than reality. Most places nowadays have cameras in the kitchens so they can counter any claims of food tampering (even joking about such is usually an instant-fire condition even in union kitchens), and serious hygiene problems are usually the result of a failing business.

Absolutely not the case, in fact more popular establishments are more likely to skirt on the health because they know they have a longer rope.

Sometimes that leeway becomes just a longer rope to hang themselves with. Back when my country was EU wordkeeper some years ago they had a meeting with international representation scheduled here, and hired a nice, upclass restaurant in central parts of town to do the foody stuff. The same first day of the event the health inspector decided to drop by and turns out they had just closed last season without cleaning the place and it was revolting. Like "pots still in the sink with entire new eco systems in them" kind of revolting.

So needless to say that restaurant had to be closed.

But it will give you a religious experience!

My tummy is my religion. Food coma is epiphany. Revelling is revelation.

tbf with shariah banking at least you don't get usurious bankers conjuring money ex nihilo until the day they need to get bailed out. Also shawarma saddens me; not because it exists, but because my shawarma guy has gone home for the next few weeks. Now I only have a chicken guy and he's only here two days a week

[TD1]

Obviously he's too chicken to open shop on more days.

No get this, he's staying at home raising his kids those 5 days and the two days he does four hours per day to hustle korean fried chicken. If the weather is good. Then he tours the vietnamese restaurants growing old with his wife. This man has achieved spicy chicken enlightenment

[Egan_BW]

A role model for us all, I say.

There is one who I would call King.

Your loyalty is appretiated. But I'd rather have you address me as "First Citizen"

[TD1]

First Citizen to get shot ya mean.

[Loud Whispers]

I'd rather be the first citizen to get free shots

[Eric Blank]

I'd take a free shot at being first citizen. I'm otherwise bankrupt

Now imagine barely understanding English and understanding what a "Moons-over-my-Hammy" is.

Generally you get a description of the menu item (sometimes even a picture) in the types of restaurants that serve those.

[Frumple]

So what's a moon's over my hammy, anyway? It sounds like a donkey and bacon sandwhich to me.
