Soup Nazi

If you've ever watched an episode of "Seinfeld" with the Soup Nazi, then you know what I'm talking about. If not, then this little post will give you a pretty good idea anyway.

Friday for lunch, Mama, my sis, her husband, and myself got in the car to go eat lunch at a new eatery in their town. It's connected with a store that also sells cooking gadgets, herbs, and the like. The menu was mostly soup of the day and a variety of sandwiches and salads. Friday's soup was Lobster Bisque, which sounded very good to us.

We all ordered our sandwiches/salads plus a cup of the soup. When the soup arrived at the table it was yellowish orange. Ok. My sister is terribly allergic to yellow dye in foods, so she asked the waitress if there was yellow cheese or something else that contained yellow dye to produce the color. She didn't know so she asked the chef.

The chef, a German woman, came to the counter where the waitresses pick up the food, and in a very abrupt manner loudly said, "You no get da recipe!" We don't want the recipe. We just want to know if there's yellow dye in the soup. "No! I no give you da recipe!" No, NOT the RECIPE...just say if there is something in the soup that contains yellow dye. "If you no want soup, send it back! Get da soup. She no eat da soup!"

Life imitating art.
