“. ”[I]t is [because of the odor] considered impolite to open a can of the ... fish indoors." One Swedish fan puts plastic bags on her hands when opening cans of surstromming to avoid getting any on her skin. The...

out to be a hacked up apple, a hacked up orange, and a fistful of dumb grapes. The bowl of oatmeal looked good, but the service was mindless, impolite, and inattentive, the food bland and greasy. This place seems to be surviving...

Wow. I parsed that as “Kurveh”, which is an impolite term for a prostitute in Yiddish. Calamari al ajillo, hm? I might need to make the trek.

what kind of policy that is, but it isn’t a good one. They were impolite about the whole thing. I have a feeling that some locals that had been there before showed up and they just gave our table up. Won’t be...

Absolutely wonderful version at Vik’s a week ago yesterday...it had meat on the bone and a few extra pieces of chicken bone that weren’t expected, though which I could do without (it just seemed impolite to have to...

I really hate to be contrary, because it’s kinda impolite for a host, so please don’t get mad at me for chiming in as one of the hounds and saying that I’ve tried DANI House of Pizza twice, and never took more...

forgot the other persons name, he was a portly fellow, salt and pepper hair with a Japanese wife, had opened up sushi restaurants in San Jose and San Mateo respectively. I thought it impolite to question Shimo further as to the...

Petit Resto - Bistro L’Entrepont Only if impolitic to avoid: L’Académie, Au 917, Les Vents du Sud, just about everything on Prince Arthur between St-Laurent and Laval. There are also a few decent “ethnic”...

, but service at the bar is glacial and the nice touches are gone due to time pressure. Yesterday, some groups just left the bar – very impolitely for Japanese couples. I don’t speak Japanese, but there must be some...
