The hubby got us fish fry's last night.  Of course they came in the styrofoam boxes...everything all smashed together by the time he got home.  So, on top of the salad were these squares of what looked like cheese.  I took the tooth pick and stabbed all three squares and popped them in my mouth.  Holy Crap...they were butter!  Doesn't butter usually come wrapped in foil?  Huh? 

I believe I have done this before in a restaurant when the butter cubes were arranged on a plate. It LOOKED like cheese.... When will I ever learn??  I guess this does not beat the taking of the dog's heartworm pills or dragging my underpants out of the cuff of my jeans through a casino.

Focus, focus, focus. yeah yeah yeah

This sounds like one of my mom-in-law's best stories. She used powdered non-dairy creamer in her coffee at home so out of habit she would take a spoon and put some "creamer" in her coffee at the restaurant.... except it was an Italian restaurant and she had just put Parmesan cheese in her coffee! It's all in what you expect things to be... You gave me such a giggle because mom has been gone for 10 years and although I miss her your story reminded me of the fun times we had.

LOL Donna, that reminds me of the time we took our kids to a steak buffet here in town. We all went and got our salads at the salad buffet and when we were all back at the table two of my sons were all excited because they now had ice cream at the salad buffet. Naturally they had each taken big helpings of it. I looked at it started laughing and said thats not ice cream its butter. They were probably 16 and 13 at the time and we still tease them about it. lol

LOL, Shirley!!  I am embarrased to say that I did the same thing only I piled my plate with what I thought was lemon mousse!  It was right there next to the salad bar with ambrosia etc...it was margarine that they had 'dyed' bright yellow.  What a tasty mouthful of grease that was!

I had a similar situation happen: my husband and I went for dinner at a really nice restaurant, with dim lighting, candles on the tables...very romantic. We both ordered prime rib for dinner and when the plates were set down in front of us, I had this huge amount of food to enjoy - my prime rib, plus potatoes, sauteed mushrooms and a big rounded spoon of coleslaw.

Well, I thought it was coleslaw. With me being the coleslaw lover I am, I took a big forkful and started to eat...and realized instantly that it was fresh horseradish.

Oh my, my!! I thought I was going to die, I truly did. I detest horseradish at the best of times and this had suddenly turned into the worst of times. It took me awhile to recover from that, and oh, am I ever cautious since then!!!

I still get teased about it. ;-)

Did anyone every notice how much wasabi looks like pistachio pudding? I definitely can tell the difference now!~

Omgosh, Pam! I did that too, but thought the horse radish was mashed potatoes. Yuck! Funny, Jeannie!

Donna, I used to have a greeting card that was this long drawn out story about how a person got up in the middle of the night and got in the freezer and scooped up a large spoonful of delicious orange sherbet, popped it into her mouth and . . . open the card - it was orange frozen greasy fat drippings! I thought it was so funny that I bought it and kept it for myself!

Must have been based on a fibro story. :)
