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

Let’s speak about horrible convention meals — or hell, we are able to broaden to horrible work occasion meals generally.

Some tales readers have shared previously about culinary failures:

• I’ve attended a number of conferences that have been unhealthy, however nothing beats the time the group was served hen on a mattress of lettuce. The vegetarian choice was simply the lettuce. One singular lettuce leaf. The vegetarians assumed they only forgot one other protein, like tofu, however no, that was your entire entree.
• I went to a convention and had particularly informed 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 in any case) – simply scallops, crab, shrimp, crawfish, lobster so far as the attention may see. I needed to go away for each single meal due to a scarcity of meals.
• The primary day, the afternoon snack was scorching gadgets you wanted a fork to eat … so everybody figured the following day’s “afternoon snack” (because it was listed on the agenda) can be related. Nope! The subsequent day’s snack was espresso and tea. No meals, and no indication that it could be completely different. Then the lunch gadgets have been form of everywhere, with the veggie choices being the worst – like a limp lettuce sandwich as the one veg choice, whereas every part else was scorching plates. They have been additionally often working out of meals, and other people had to enter town to eat.
