That was all the fries but trust me it was way way too much food 😅.  In fact I didn't finish all the fries from the second plate. 

I am incredulous. 🙂

Plenty of choice and I should have gone there. I witnessed not one,  but two scandals at the pub.

 

First I tried to verify the salt and pepper situation and to my dismay, there were neither available. 

 

As if that was not bad enough, take note of my baked macaroni plating.

 

 

The blue bowl was placed on a red plate 😲 😱. My mom's was correctly plated red matching red but mine was sloppily put together and not one person caught it before serving me this way.

 

Disgraceful. 

Shocking, and are those chips behind in a white dish? Worse and worse.

 

As to the cruets, there was a famous and excellent restaurant in London in the 1980s, where the proprietor, Nico Ladenis, never put salt and pepper on the table, and sometimes threw people out for asking for them, on the grounds his dishes were perfectly seasoned.

Karaoke is my only option for music right now without dressing.  I got the last seat in the house, but everyone is dressed it's not like all the hobos came here and that's why it's full.

In my defense, they got cold since everything came at once.

The chips were part of another dish, sloppy photographer. He is next to get reported on. 

 

I almost never season my food. Sometimes if the eggs are bland I'll add some hot sauce. Hot sauce makes everything better.

 

But a chef so full of himself to tell customers how to enjoy their food. Not for me 😆

Sweet Caroline 🎶 

 

 

Even amateurs can't help but over do this one

[jam19872016]

I don't know exactly how long that was going to go on for. It was popular but just not for me. 

 

I am wrapping up my evening now. 

 

Tomorrow is Naples and the plan is to walk around and sightsee after my mom explores the shopping opportunities. I might do the hop on hop off bus if it's not too busy. The one in Malaga was ok because I beat the crowds, but Barcelona was a mad house.

 

Good night everyone. 

[Host Hattie]

Good night, enjoy Naples

There are multiple restaurants like that in the Bay Area.   But usually they are perfectly seasoned.  🙂

Is there a cover charge for the Coriander restaurant?

Tell your Mom that Wolf Run is one of my favorite slots.

Try to go to the archeological museum in central Naples. All the Pompeii stuff is there.

i never went there but it really was a much enjoyed restaurant, with excellent, admirably seasoned, food.

If you are walking, beware the traffic in Naples - and I speak as one who is unworried in London or New York.

Yes. I believe something like $25. It is very good, though I admit I go there as a WC freebie.

[jam19872016]

Good morning from Naples, Italy. 

 

Time to get it and do some sightseeing.

So it sounds like I may need the hop on hop off.

Enjoy! It’s a lovely city and very possible to get around the city by walking or getting the metro 

[exlondoner]

I believe there is a similar one in Genoa, but I think the Terminal in Naples is quite magnificent and the best I have seen, with Cherbourg a close second.

[jam19872016]

Stopped back on board before I venture out on my own. My mom hit the shopping lotto in the terminal building. Very nice.

 

I'm going to grab a little lunch and then head out into the city

[exlondoner]

Is it hot there today?
