let’s focus on horrible meals at conferences and different work occasions — Ask a Supervisor

Let’s discuss horrible convention meals — or hell, we will broaden to horrible work occasion meals normally.

Some tales readers have shared up to now about culinary failures:

• I’ve attended a number of conferences that have been unhealthy, however nothing beats the time the group was served rooster on a mattress of lettuce. The vegetarian choice was simply the lettuce. One singular lettuce leaf. The vegetarians assumed they simply forgot one other protein, like tofu, however no, that was the whole entree.
• I went to a convention and had particularly instructed them I used to be vegan (this was about ten years in the past, when that was fairly uncommon). For lunch on the primary day, I used to be offered with a bowl of undressed salad leaves and a single cherry tomato.
• Worst convention meals I ever needed to take care of was the convention that didn’t take into consideration the necessity to accommodate these that may’t eat seafood. Three day convention, lunch and dinner offered and each single meal was shellfish of some selection. No vegetarian choices, no shellfish free choices (although with the portions of shellfish they have been prepping I wouldn’t have trusted the kitchen anyhow) – simply scallops, crab, shrimp, crawfish, lobster so far as the attention might see. I needed to go away for each single meal due to an absence of meals.
• The primary day, the afternoon snack was sizzling objects you wanted a fork to eat … so everybody figured the subsequent day’s “afternoon snack” (because it was listed on the agenda) can be related. Nope! The following day’s snack was espresso and tea. No meals, and no indication that it might be completely different. Then the lunch objects have been sort of in all places, with the veggie choices being the worst – like a limp lettuce sandwich as the one veg choice, whereas all the things else was sizzling plates. They have been additionally regularly operating out of meals, and other people had to enter the town to eat.
