"Normalise putting the non-alcoholic drinks on restaurant websites as well as the wine list challenge 2023."
And if you're embarrassed to publish them, get better ones.
@rosamundi Ooo... that I like!
@aryomjapes went out at lunchtime today and the choices were the dreaded elderflower cordial, coke or lemonade. Do I look like I'm twelve?
@rosamundi Exactly. I have lost track of how many times I have muttered about the lack of choice and what choice there is being to the tastes of the very young...
@aryomjapes exactly. When I drank, I drank wine. I don't want sweet drinks, especially with meals.
@rosamundi Absolutely!
@virtuosew went out for lunch today and didn't realise until too late that the options were shocking. if I'd known, I have gone somewhere else.
@rosamundi Yes, in this year of grace, it should not be beyond any averagely competent restaurant to improve on the no-alcohol offerings of forty years ago!
@virtuosew when I drank, I drank wine. I don't want sweet drinks with food. The Dreaded Elderflower Cordial™️, as it as now been christened by my colleagues.
@rosamundi Exactly. I don't know why this is so hard for people who are supposed to have a professional understanding of flavour!
@rosamundi great idea
@losthaystacks If I'm paying, I want a decent range, more than a token AF beer and the dreaded elderflower cordial 🤢
You can get so many different ones now and there's really no excuse.
@rosamundi exactly. I do drink alcohol from time to time but I'm often driving so would only ever have 1 alcoholic drink. Appropriately priced and decent choice and I might not even bother with the 1!
@losthaystacks some places are really good. There's a place near my partner's flat that has six mocktails, 3 AF beers and a cider.
