These days, I rarely bother to put in a complicated food order.
Last year when I did Keto diet I’d order a cheeseburger with no bun, cheese or ketchup wrapped in lettuce.
But when I was younger, for many years if we were eating at a sit down restaurant I would always specify no peas on the plate.
This was a holdover from when I was a little kid on my grandparent’s farm and we would go out in the garden, pick peas, and then come in and shell them.
I ended up eating more peas than I’d put in the bowl and after awhile I got to recreate the head turning Linda Blair scene from the Exorcist.
And so began my decades long avoidance of peas.
I would always tell the waitress under no circumstances put peas on my plate.
Now I love the little green waterbags.
Do you have special instructions for your food or drink order?
