Hilarious Lunch???

You must be wondering what a hilarious lunch is.....Well read on. I will describe by and by. Last Saturday we happened to drop in at one of our most frequented eatouts, Nalukettu, for lunch. The waiter came along, opened his writing pad and started taking the order as usual. We ordered two kerala meals and a chicken biriyani. All went fine until we ordered kozhi varutharachath for side dish. All hell broke loose.Ask me why? As soon as we ordered the chicken dish afore mentioned, our waiter commented, "that does not go well with meals, you see". Now we were puzzled. We inquired why he said so. He insisted, "Don't you know this is a real bad combination? Why don't you order something else?" He hurried to the kitchen, came back in the wink of an eye, proclaimed aloud, "We don't serve this particular dish in the afternoons".Now we gave a sigh of relief.That was all? This guy almost scared us by going paranoid for nothing at all. We browsed through the menu again, decided to order another chicken dish. Again our waiter protested. This was getting on our nerves now. He explained," You see, most people order fish with meals for a side dish. Chicken does not go well with rice." That was a bit annoying. We went to the hotel to have whatever we preferred to, and there was this guy, stubbornly saying that he will not let us do so. Our thought process then went like this,"Why should he be even bothered when we were compeletly compliant to pay our hotel bills? Neither did we ever tell him that we had forgotten our vanity bags at home. We had actually carried them along." Anyways we did not tell him all this. We just smiled and said politely,"Why don't you just get us some Chicken Masala. We are not in any mood to have fish today." At last the deal was approved and despatched and a couple of minutes later our chicken dish was waiting for us at the table, to be devoured. Oh man, it is not just silence that is golden, patience too is.....hihi
