Food issues

I hate mushrooms. There. I said it. I find them repulsive. Its so bad that my DH thinks I am allergic. Yup - my one little TEENY white lie.

Ok, so here at my work, we have a kitchen & a chef. (Don't be jealous, it's a trap so we NEVER LEAVE) he's very good but he cooks all healthy & all organic. We never get to have a fun fattening dessert or burgers or anything (pouts).

ANYHOOOOO I head upstairs for lunch today. James (the chef) has a nice salad out with some wood grilled pizza. I get excited – he never makes stuff like that. So I grab some pizza & go sit down. I CHOMP into it & almost died. WHO HIDES MUSHROOMS UNDER THE SAUCE AND CHEESE???? What kind of sh!t is THAT??? This was the pizza, in order from the crust

Crust
MUSHROOMS
Pesto sauce
Cheese
A slice of tomato
Grilled chicken

Then after I spit it out he yelled at me saying those mushrooms are $10 a pound. Apparently they were chanterelles. Whatever James. They are nasty. I got so upset I had to go to Au Bon Pain & buy a croissant and coffee for lunch.

Ok rant over.

omg! i found your story entertaining!
but yes, that must have ****** for you!
perhaps you should tell James the chef that you are allergic..

omg i would have flipped the fcuk out. i know how i am with that stuff. if he had told me that whole $10 a pound thing--i probably would have thrown it in his face. don't ASSume that EVERYONE wants to eat mushrooms....that's shady

you should have said 'Well NEXT TIME put a fcking sign up because I am HIGHLY ALLERGIC to mushrooms!!! Do you want my throat to close up and for me to DIE you ignorant jerkoff!!!!! Put up a sign with the INGREDIENTS of what you made so you don't have a LAWSUIT!!!!'

ETA: you should have coughed a few times like you couldn't breathe while screaming at him and made like you needed to get a shot and go home early. i sure do know how to milk a situation

(I too am NOT allergic to mushrooms--i just hate them....unless they are chock full of ingredients that make me see things that aren't there)

ugh, so sorry this happened to you.
I think you should tell James you're allergic and hopefully this won't happen again.

He really should identify all the ingredients in a dish that he makes. If you were in a restaurant - mushrooms (even if cleverly hidden) would be under the ingredients of this pizza.

James is shaddy!!!

I actually like mushrooms BUT i agree with you. Seriously, that could be a lawsuit on his hands if someone is allergic to ingredients.

Starbucks puleld that crap on me. Their 'skinny' lattes are supposed to be sugar free. Twice in a row one near me out sugared syrup saying you have to request sugar free. BS! On their site and every other starbucks is says SUGAR FREE.

I buy lattes for my sverely diabetic boss...NOT good if its has sugar. I had to flip out. Called corporate in their store cause the manager (anther ignorant @ss) tried to give me grief.

I have nut allergies so if James had put nuts beneath a layer in my pizza he'd have to deal with chimpunk cheek latina.

Roaring. I could NEVER yell at him like that. He is this skinny little Korean kid who is SO SHY and takes tango lessons to meet girls. He's f*cking adorable and precious.

but he better never put shrooms in my sh!t again.

I agree ... tell him you are allergic. If you can tell your DH a white lie about it, you can definitely tell the chef at your office.

Funny story .... my brother hates peanuts. He tells everyone he's allergic. BUT he likes the 'little hard things in Cracker Jacks' ... he doesn't believe that those are peanuts. He's not 'allergic' to those!

The way you feel about mushrooms I feel about cats and I hate when they are hidden in my pizza .

James must have been reading Jessica Seinfelds book. He is trying to tempt you with unhealthy foods while hiding the healthy foods below the surface. Watch out he doesn't put any spinach in your brownies or carrots in your nuggets.

I would have freaked I cant stand mushrooms even the smell makes me
