It is clear i am a different specie when the waiter gives me a choice between Chicken and Coriander Soup and Spinach and Egg Soup, and whilst everybody else on the table opts for the safe chicken soup, i choose Spinach and Egg. And i am not even vegetarian.
- Spinach and Egg Soup
On another tangent the waiter could not pronounce, “coriander” and he was unintentionally put on the spot when someone on the table corrected him ( unintentionally of course). However, in all this unintentional mess, i saw a slight change in the waiter’s expressions. No! I will never put some one on the spot unintentionally… at least i hope so.

Oooh no! Unintentional or not, no one likes to be corrected. I did this once (unintentionally, and the moment it was out of my mouth, I thought, did I just do that?) to the wife of a friend of my husband’s. To this day she is cool toward me. I truly didn’t mean to do it, but boy did I learn my lesson.
ah yes, it is a tricky situation. best to hold your tongue than regret. :)
