The Great British Fake-Off
A guy is in the dessert aisle, looking flustered.
Me: “Can I help you find anything?”
Customer: *With an American accent.* “Yeah! Black pudding! I was told it was really good.”
Me: “Uh, that will be in the prepared meats aisle. I can show you.”
Customer: “But it’s a pudding? Why isn’t it with the desserts?”
Me: “Sir, black pudding is blood sausage.”
Customer: “Blood… sausage?”
Me: “Yes, sir. It’s very much a savoury dish. It’s made with beef or pork, with blood from the respective animal and—”
Customer: “—Yeah, no thanks. I already know I don’t want it. What is it with your country calling s*** puddings! You have no idea how disappointed I was when I found out what a Yorkshire pudding was!”
Me: “I’m sorry for the confusion, sir.”
Customer: “And then when you do have a sweet pudding you call it something like spotted d*ck! It’s like you don’t want your food to sound good!”
Me: “I’d try to argue with you, but we also sell ‘Toad In The Hole’, so…” *Shrugs.*
I left him to his shopping, and hopefully he enjoyed eating what he DID buy.
