Side Sample

Taken from the internet - blogspot

This is just a quick idea. I don't even know if it'll work but I’m writing it down now so I can sell the idea to restaurants and/or put my name to something. Let me know what you think.

JOEY DOESN'T SHARE FOOD!

I eat too fast for my wife to have any of my food. Half of all my meal times are spent watching my wife eat, waiting for her to either offer me some of her food or leave some on her plate so I can, not so subtly, hoover it up.

When we go out for a meal there seems to be a rule that we have to share our food choices. Of late, I have been choosing more successfully than my wife, which means only one thing… I want her to share but I don’t want to share myself.

This is where my idea comes in. For an extra £1 per meal you can get a side sample for the other person. It’s cooked at the same time and is like an amuse-bouche with your meal. It means you don’t have to share.

This side sample isn’t only designed to be selfish, there are folks out there who don’t like people touching their food. You don’t want to be rude and say no to someone trying your food so you buy them a side sample. This may not be foolproof but it’s the start of an idea and I’d like to see if it works
