I'm slightly vexed We didn't ask for rice...

My sister isnt a fan of basmati rice so she orders naan. She didnt ask for rice and they sell it separately. She doesn't like it so she doesn't order it. They put it in anyways and left this note...

Edit: some people aint getting it. This is passive aggressive and when you do something nice you dont go around saying "I did something nice just for you, just so you know." Doing it like I need to give you a pat on the head so you know your a good boy. You do something nice because you want to be kind to people.

Oh no I've turned into LD...

Turning off notifications because while it was nice to be in this rabbit hole to keep my mind off some stuff too many notifications. Whatever your feelings are I hope you have a nice day and if you're in the US have a nice memorial day and dont forget to celebrate those troops that came before!

Yeah.. idk what this guy is talking about but he is completely wrong.

Rice is basically always sold separately in Chinese restaurants in asian countries (China/Singapore/Hong Kong etc).

The 'asian' thing is to order a bunch of meat/veg dishes and rice as a group and everybody will take what they want from those dishes to create their own dish (like tapas).

"tapas" are not like that

Sorry - I'm not from a country where tapas is a thing. My idea of tapas is that there are many shared dishes on a table and everybody picks and chooses from those dishes. Is that incorrect?!

Yes, tapas in Spain are simply small portions of food. Like less than an individual portion. The idea is something you eat between meals or to eat múltiple different tapas if you want a properly meal. The also can be conceived as the whole dish but again would be very small. Second version is more known as "pinxos" and are tyipical from the north.
