    This is at a restaurant. Someone paid money for cheese and raw onion on bread. What are we doing here?

        It’s the same damn thing

        There’s only so many words in the English language for “a place you can get a meal at”, you wanna go over em all?

        And yes I’ve been to actual midcountry pubs, they’re bars with good dining space usually situated in a village so people can walk there. They often have playgrounds, fuckin, somehow.

          They’re absolutely not. A pub primarily sells beer, salted peanuts, and if they’re feeling fancy, a bread roll with stuff in it. A restaurant sells meals with plates and cutlery and has one or two crap lagers available. A gastropub does food and beer but both are crap and are twice as expensive.

          If you’re in an actual real pub, have had a handful of pints, this food is perfect, and ideally costs less than half a pint.

            Blah blah blah blah

            At the end of the day it’s a BUSINESS with a KITCHEN, a staff, and a dining area. When Americans say “it’s a restaurant” that’s what we mean.

            I get the historical context. But you can’t define a pub in a business plan in any way that won’t leave me going “it’s a restaurant”. “It’s a neighborhood social gathering place for people to drink and eat and play!” Yeah I get it bro, it’s a bar.

            I know bar owners on both sides of the pond, you won’t fool me. In fact, i kinda hope you try. I was just in Nottingham for two weeks in November. Mfer you don’t go to the Midcountry IN WINTER unless you’re learning something.

              Is a hot dog stand a restaurant?

              It’s a business with a kitchen, staff (1 person) and a dining area on occasion (foldable plastic chairs and tables).

                That seems like an argument the courts are hearing. How does the legal definition of “restaurant” require “dining space”? Ed: tou seem to have edited since my reply. I say yes, a food truck is a restaurant.

                My point is, when Americans colloquially say “restaurant” they mean “any dining establishment”. We can piss and fight over semantics but what yall got are bars across from schools.

          Funny. We Iranians almost always eat raw onions alongside food, but everyone in the west seems to hate them unless it’s dripping with 6 liters of frying oil

            It really depends. Raw onions are common on hot dogs, burgers, salads, and various other foods.

                Brit here, but we put any style of onion on and in anything, raw onion, fried onion, pickled onion, caramelized onion or onion chutney, take your pick.

    Looks drier than Ben Shaprio’s wife. Jesus Christ, man… Couldn’t you lube it up with some condiments or something? This criminal act you call a sandwich should come with a choking hazard label.

      The concept of putting condiments into sandwiches so that they’re not dry AF hasn’t made it to large parts of Europe.
