Should not have given the enemy that much intelligence. You should have just locked eyes and said "tartar sauce" like an alpha with chutzpah

>go to Europe
>ask for water
>it’s lukewarm
>”may I please get some ice?”
>waiter looks at me like I just took a shit on the table
>”q-qui...”
>check comes later
>charged for the ice
Not only are cold beverages haram, but you’re taxed for them. Ridiculous.

what was the dish

>>13653645
>ask for tartar
>they bring me some weird pickled carrots, cucumber and god knows what else

>>13653969
this was the only culture shock I really felt as a burger living in europe. Only place that would give you ice without looking like you just killed a child was Spain.

one time some dumbass ordered fries with mustard, when nobody was looking I spit in my hand mushed my disgusting hands in the fries, dumb faggot deserved it

fries with mustard, pfft

Spain is genuinely one of the most based countries in Europe and it's kind of a shame that it's off of most Americans' radar when they go there.

>>13654057
Agreed. I was stationed there in the US Army at naval station rota for a month. The people were beyond based, the food was excellent, and the attitude of the people great. Germans tended to treat unknown people like potential rapists or crazy people, but the Spanish would be friendly until you prove otherwise. The hospitality reminded me of home really.

Might've been the day before ingredient delivery to the restaurant, lot of places will tell you this if they pride the freshness of their seafood.

Europe is one of those third world places that don't have safe drinking water. People there drink seltzer instead of regular water. So if you ask for water they're assuming that you're just going to wash your hands with it. Asking for ice doesn't make sense.

My first night in Iceland I was at a restaurant by the ocean and got fish and chips, but was really full about half way through and asked for a to-go box. The waitress was like "no, you dont need a box, you can finish it, I believe in you" and I was like okay fine and she was right I forced myself to eat it all. European cultures seem wierd but I get it they just didn't want to be wasteful in my case. Us Americans take alot of shit for granted.

What an incredibly boring story. I didn’t read past the first line. Please fuck off back to redit and be boring there instead.

>>13654010
hot water good for the healthy
These Eurotrash parasites have learned, thanks to masses of Chinese tourists, that cold water is bad for you so of course they can justify charging for ice. You're just an anti-chinite.

>>13654155
dumbest post i've read all day.. my airbnb host in new york also thought american tap water was some modern miracle. Unprompted he went on a long tirade about how the tap water was drinkable, as if that's special, and that it was some of the cleanest in the country because of some mountain or some shit. When I tasted it I gagged and almost puked. It was like drinking from a public swimming pool, if not worse. The amount of chlorine was unlike anything I've experience before or since. Turns out ice cubes were made from tap water in every restaurant, so I had to pass on ice in all my drinks since it tasted like someone was trying to poison me.

>>13654155
They're REQUIRED to give people water, kind of like Arizona. So they're going to try to charge everyone they can for their inexpensive septic water because people thought it was free.

Fuck the waiter
Listen to the chef
Admit you are a baby and know nothing of the world.
Only chef knows.

It’s called fluoride. I wouldn’t expect a European to know about it nor comprehend dental hygiene.

>>13654949
fluoride is a fucking neurotoxin

>>13655628
and have you heard what they’re putting in the soil?! and those mind-enslaving vaccines...fuck me, US is more dangerous that Australia

>>13654462
I've heard from New Yorkers before talking about how their tap water is special, and that's why New York City is the only place in the country you can get "a real bagel."

>>13655795
It’s piped in from upstate NY. It just tastes good because of its particular mineral content. The water you use to make bagels does affect the flavor.

>>13654398
Not him but I hope you get raped.

>>13653645
If it's really a fancy place, just ask what they recommend and go with that. Places like that have their specialties, and you don't really want to stray from the standard experience unless you're going there many many times.

>>13654155
>Flint, Michigan
>West Virginia

>>13653645
Maybe they could've suggested another sauce?

>>13653969
Just consider it a tip and you'll feel better about it

>just over a week till pancake day
Aw ye lads I'm well up for a fat stack of cakes

>>13654155
tap water is perfectly safe to drink in all of europe and in most of it is better than what is sold in stores in america

>>13653969

>paying for a product is tax

>>13654155

>>13656817
By that logic, education and healthcare are “products” and you stinky Euros can’t bitch when you get charged $50k + tip for them.

>>13654589
>kind of like Arizona
wut

>>13654155
The fuck, homo

>>13656834
>tip

He doesn't know..

>ITT: Americans think Europe is a single entity and all restaurants are a single entity

>>13654057
Americans would be feel at home in Spain.
Same skin colour, same language.

>>13656916
Nah, Spain is white, although they DO speak English.

>>13654002
>ask for tatar
>someone from Tartary, the historical central Asian landmass populated by Manchus, Mongols, Turks, and others comes out

>>13657152
>tater

>>13656912
the american mind is accostumed to their corporate overlords using franchises and major brands as a way to simplify their decision making process by providing the same HFCS infused slop in every available location
don't laugh, it's a serious matter for them

>>13656640
this kills the american.

>>13654155
Europoors SEETHING.

>>13656912
>implying you’re not
Chancellor Merkel rules over all of you.

>>13654141
Tartare sauce isn’t really going to go with that.

>>13654398
it was an interesting anecdote

>>13654010
That's weird. I can't fucking stop people filling all my drinks with ice in the UK.

>>13654284
Nords are weirdly heartfelt like that.

>>13654398
So entitled, why throw a tantrum over someone's post being boring of all things? You wasted the effort making that whiny reply instead of just moving on defeating your point about your time being worth a damn,retard

>>13653969
>go to London
>pub
>order whatever ale sounded interesting
>it's lukewarm
It's no wonder we're the superpower honestly.

>>13654155
what? in england tap water is safe and in america everyone drinks out of fucking plastic water bottles

>>13657314
You don't drink ale ice cold, brainlet

>>13657340
He also has probably never out of his own country, seeing as nobody serves ale lukewarm in London.

>>13654398
I found his story to be rather interesting. It takes a turn after the first sentence.

>>13654398
What an incredibly bitchy post

>>13653858
>You should have just locked eyes
>repeating yourself like a beta
Pathetic.
