So at lunch today I went to get some chicken. A new chicken place had opened directly opposite Nandos. I thought this was a bit dumb being as that part of town was fully catered for regarding chicken, but some genius entrepreneur decided to set up his chicken meal shop opposite. Anyway I digress.
So I looked at Nandos and the queue was massive, and I looked into the window of Frickin' Chicken or whatever it was called and there was no one in there. And I was like "mmm, is no one in Frickin' Chicken because its horrible or is no one here because they are frightened to try something new and just stick to what they know?" Anyway, I decided to risk it.
I went up to the counter and asked for a chicken thing in a bun and pointed at the menu. And the ginger chicken girl replied that they weren't frying food and that they were only doing grilled chicken.
So I said can I have a grilled version of the thing I just ordered.
And the soulless ginger chicken woman asked "What flavour"
And I replied "Chicken flavour".
My friend then told me not to be a dick to the ginger girl and apologise. So I said "Sorry, can I just have the grilled chicken burger please?" and she said "What flavour?"
And I replied "Erm ... chicken flavour".
At this point my ex-friend exploded "Lem
on, mild, hot, very hot or tikka flavour?".
I ate my lime chicken lunch quietly and pondered how a guy in IT would know so much about chicken restaurant menus.
Also, my chips were cold and soggy.
